A team from A Partnership for National Unity yesterday met with President Donald Ramotar and his team and discussed the coalition’s demand for a date for local government elections and for a clutch of rejected bills to be signed into law.

In a separate release, APNU reiterated its support for the motion of no confidence planned against the government.

The APNU releases follow:

APNU MEETS PPP/C WITH THE AIM OF ADVANCING THE NATIONAL GOVERNANCE AGENDA

A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) on Monday 20th October 2014 met with a People’s Progressive Party/Civic Administration team with the aim of advancing the national governance agenda.  APNU’s team was led by Brigadier David Granger and included parliamentarians Dr Rupert Roopnaraine, Mr. Basil Williams, Mr. Carl Greenidge and Mr. Joseph Harmon. The PPP/C team, led by President Donald Ramotar, comprised parliamentarians Dr Ashni Singh, Mr. Irfaan Ali, Ms. Gail Teixeira and Cabinet Secretary Dr Roger Luncheon.

The meeting was held in the wake of the opposition’s year-long demand and public protests in support of early local government elections. APNU iterated its call for the President to name a date for the holding of local government elections. APNU also committed to collaborate on a process by which the President would assent to the Local Government Bill No. 12 of 2012; the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2013; the Fiscal Management and Accountability Act Bill No. 24 of 2012 and Bill No. 5 of 2013 and the Former President (Benefits and other Facilities) Bill No. 29 of 2012.

The Attorney General is at present attending a Financial Action Task Force meeting in Paris and, therefore, was absent from the APNU-PPP/C meeting. The PPP/C team deferred making a decision on the Bills and on determining a date for local government elections.

APNU continued to press for a date for Local Government Elections and reaffirmed its commitment to support the No Confidence Motion in the National Assembly.



APNU is Committed to supporting the No Confidence Motion:

In response to several misleading remarks circulating on social media; that talks are planned between APNU Chairman Brigadier David Granger and President Donald Ramotar to discuss a compromise to avoid passage of the No Confidence Motion tabled by the AFC…..

APNU remains committed to supporting the No Confidence Motion when it is brought to the floor of the National Assembly of Guyana. Any suggestions to the contrary are malicious, scandalous and mendacious.
