THE outright rejection by the main political Opposition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), of an invitation from President Donald Ramotar to dialogue on matters critical to the national wellbeing, should serve as the final proof to the nation, that the only thing that is paramount to that party, is the acquisition of power.

The junior parliamentary party, the Alliance For Change (AFC) is cast in that same mould as well, since it is the party which proposed a ‘No Confidence Motion’, would have commenced the train of events, that brought us to the current status quo.

Let it be known that it is those very citizens whom the APNU and the AFC have ignored, and disrespected, by refusing to have dialogue, that will pass final judgment on their stewardship.
Their final day of Reckoning soon cometh!

Again, it is emphasised that in any situation where the national wellbeing is at stake, the only sensible recourse is to dialogue, underpinned with a consensual mind, for positively beneficial outcomes, where in the end – the nation wins.

All must be reminded that for genuinely patriotic outcomes, personal political ambitions cannot ever be a part of considerations towards effecting solutions to challenges that will stymie national advancement.

But if, as has been the track record of the parliamentary Opposition in the currently prorogued Tenth Parliament, that egos and selfish ends are all that matters, then national progress becomes threatened.

All must be reminded that for genuinely patriotic outcomes, personal political ambitions cannot ever be a part of considerations towards effecting solutions to challenges that will stymie national advancement. As far as both opposition parties, the APNU and the AFC, are concerned, such definitely proved a stumbling block, but of their own make, towards finding consensus with the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) on matters vital to the national interest. If nothing else, their greedy grab of both the Speaker’s and Deputy Speaker’s chairs, did pre-view an early warning of what these two national wreckers of a political party really meant because of their combined one seat majority – grabbing power at all costs.
By refusing dialogue, these two Opposition parties have clearly shown that the national interest does not form any part of their consideration as far as our beloved country is concerned. Also, they have torn up a blueprint which no doubt, had been requested by citizens, inclusive of their own constituents. This is definitely an anti-people position, contemptuous in every respect.
However, let it be known that it is those very citizens whom the APNU and the AFC have ignored, and disrespected, by refusing to have dialogue, that will pass final judgment on their stewardship.
Their final day of Reckoning soon cometh!
