THE Amerindian Action Movement of Guyana (TAAMOG) vigorously condemns the cutting of the 2014 $220B National Budget by the Parliamentary opposition (PNC/APNU & AFC) as absolutely irresponsible, anti-national, anti-developmental and lawless, with the deliberate misuse of their one-seat majority in Parliament. It is once again a blatant display of unlawful and unconstitutional behaviour by the parliamentary opposition in relation to Budgets cuts.The 2014 Budget cuts by the parliamentary opposition in the Committee of Supply had nothing at all to do with sound reasoning, despite all the explainations given to them by the Ministers of Government, but a politically partisan stance to deliberately frustrate and hinder Guyana’s continued development process.
Guyana’s Indigenous Peoples stand to terribly suffer in their communities with the slashing of the Amerindian Development Fund, compounded by the Low-Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) initiatives, which would have provided for their continued community development projects and the commencement of their land-titling programme.
This clearly shows that the parliamentary opposition (PNC/APNU & AFC) do not care about Guyana’s Hinterland Amerindian communities, and their talk about their “love” for Amerindians and their communities is simply bogus and hypocrisy.
TAAMOG will soon be visiting the Amerindian communities for further engagements on the 2014 Budget, where the parliamentary opposition (PNC/APNU & AFC) has voted against the development of the Amerindian Peoples of Guyana.
