“President Jagdeo, like an irresponsible juvenile, continues to diminish the Presidency by uttering statements that are plainly false and deliberately intended to divert attention from his miserable performance.”This is according to leader of the Main Opposition Party, Robert Corbin,Cheap Jerseys From China, who is of the opinion that yesterday’s Guyana Chronicle article titled,Wholesale Adidas Hockey Jerseys, “President Jagdeo disappointed over PNCR dismissal of LCDS” is yet another example.According to Corbin the original PNCR statement addressed the 17 years of the PPP in Government which he opined represented the destruction of, rather than, the return to democracy.According to Corbin, the PNCR referred to the dismal record of President Jagdeo in consultation.“Jagdeo wants to shift the debate to the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS)…What, therefore, Jagdeo should be ashamed of, not disappointed, is his misuse of the term “consultation” for political expediency and chicanery.”Corbin called on President Jagdeo to explain the “so-called” consultation on crime and the security situation with the National Stakeholders.Corbin said that after grandiose commitments to regular meetings with stakeholders, nothing has happened since.“It is now evident to all,Cheap Jerseys From China, that Jagdeo, faced with the Lusignan and Bartica massacres,Authentic China Jerseys, wanted to involve civil society to shield the PPP’s non-performance on crime…After obtaining support for British aid for the Security Sector Plan and secured political advantage by debating the signed stakeholder document in Parliament, he retreated from any further consultation.”According to Corbin, “This is,Cheap Authentic Jerseys, however, only one example of “sham” consultation.”He noted that the “farce” of consultation on the LCDS was vividly portrayed recently on the state monopoly, National Communication Network (NCN).This, Corbin said, was a purported consultation with Amerindian leaders, and all Guyanese witnessed the opening speaker promising support of the communities of that area for the LCDS even before the consultations had begun.“In its several statements on this issue, the PNCR has acknowledged the importance of an LCDS, but has criticised it at several points,NFL Jerseys Outlet, especially in those areas where the Administration has chosen to ignore reality for political convenience…The LCDS is a form of Avoided Deforestation…And so is the Iwokrama Project initiated by President Hoyte several years ago.”According to Corbin the two initiatives are conceptually linked and yet, the Jagdeo Administration does not have the “decency to admit this.”Corbin emphasized that the PNCR never referred to the LCDS as a sham.“It is the consultation that is a sham…Surely if President Jagdeo were not spending so much tax-payers dollars travelling with his begging bowl, around the globe, he would have grasped the facts of the PNCR statement.”According to Corbin that statement outlined why the PPP toned down its October 5 celebration.“Simply, they were ashamed of their destruction of democracy.”He added that the statement also highlighted the PPP’s 17 years of disregard for the rule of law; 17 years of the violation of human rights; 17 years of escalating crime; 17 years of discrimination and unaccountability; 17 years of harassment and victimization and 17 years of vilification, non-consultation and deception.“It is amusing that Jagdeo is only disappointed with the consultation section of the PNCR statement at its Press Conference on 8 October 2009.”As such he said that President Jagdeo’s statement as reported in the article under consideration can therefore be summarily dismissed.“If the Party wished to add anything, it is to say that it is President Jagdeo and his Administration which seems to be at the periphery of things and out of touch with the reality in Guyana.”
