Threats to withdraw from Border Commission a good indicator of Opposition’s unpatriotic stance

Minister of State, Joseph Harmon says the Opposition cannot be trusted to be guardians of the nation’s patrimony.
According to DPI, Minister Harmon, speaking over the weekend at the Clonbrook Primary School, noted that recent threats by the Opposition Leader, Bharrat Jagdeo to withdraw from the Border Commission, is a good indicator of the Opposition’s unpatriotic stance, as he urged the citizens not to trust the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) and its leader, with the country’s patrimony.
“They are unpatriotic and do not have the country’s border and territorial integrity at heart”, Minister Harmon stated.
Jagdeo had made threats to leave the Border Commission following a meeting between himself and President Granger, during which he was informed of the President’s unilateral decision to appoint retired Justice James Patterson as the head the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM.)
In his address to scores of residents of Anns Grove and neighbouring communities, the Minister of State reminded that the opposition was bent on creating divisions since losing the May 2015 elections. “After the PPP lost, they tried to do all kinds of things in that election (2015). They tried to push in fake statement of polls and all those kind of things, but every time they put in the fakes, the people pushed it out. Then they say they want recount of A, B and C, and when that didn’t work they said they don’t want Surujubally. Since then we recognised that they are sore losers and we recognise that you are going to have problem with this party, that believe they have the transport for Guyana.”
“The fact of the matter is that after the 2015 elections, the PPP who felt that they have the transport to Guyana and should never have left office, were defeated by the A Partnership for National Unity / Alliance for Change (APNU / AFC) coalition, but they couldn’t accept that because when you got a transport, you feel you are entitled”, Minister Harmon was quoted by DPI as saying.
