US Embassy should release name of PNC/R member

Monday, September 19, 2005

President Bharrat Jagdeo, at a recent press conference said that the PNC/R has approached officials at the United States Embassy, indicating that an Interim Government should be put in place because GECOM will be unable to hold elections by the constitutional deadline.

Since Guyana is a sovereign State, the U.S Embassy should release the identities of those who are attempting to curtail the democratic process and create confusion.

The issue of an Interim Government being installed, or elections being held within the constitutional time frame, is strictly a matter for the legal system and the people of Guyana to decide.

The U.S Embassy should refrain from being involved in such matters.
