crime has taken over Guyana...

As this uncalled for human resource hemorrhaging continues as a result of the witch-hunt, concurrently government officials are constantly attempting to intrude and issue instructions to constitutionally autonomous and statutory bodies over which they have absolutely no authority.
In addition, the Party received a flood of reports that reinforces the existence of a general atmosphere of intimidation, fear, distrust and uneasiness within the public service, to the extent that public servants have been warned about the risk of losing their jobs were they not to act ‘’professionally’’, meaning towing the political line of the de-facto Granger Administration, a practice long abandoned when the PPC came into office in 1992.

According to the Guyana Chronicle edition of May 30, 2015, the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) issued a statement on the Broomes/Lawrence/Green imbroglio, the first manifestation of executive lawlessness and intolerance.
In its statement the GTUC said,
‘’workers of this country are looking to this new government for change that will see their rights upheld. Indiscriminate practices by the political directorate of the coalition will not be given a pass for where such behavior were considered wrong under the PPP, they cannot now be accepted under the APNU/AFC. ‘’
The GTUC went on to condemn what it termed:
‘’the early signs of intolerance and an inability to respond and resolve individual conflict’’

Soon after the event involving Ms. Broomes and Ms. Lawrence another episode followed. Ms. Broomes once again over-stepped her boundary. In a letter addressed to the Public Service Commission (PSC) she directed that the Commission should cease functioning and making decisions in respect to appointments of public servants until so directed by Mr. Granger.
Ms. Broomes is either being bullish or ignorant of the fact that the PSC is an autonomous, statutory body as described in section 200-203 of the Constitution of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana and cannot be dictated to by a Minister of Government.
And as regards the allegation by Ms. Broomes that the Public Service Commission (PSC) is engaging in ‘’clandestine efforts to fill vacancies in the public service’’ she has been unable to provide any evidence to validate this obnoxious accusation.
