–?? ?Speaker calls for urgent ‘Third Party/Honest Broker’ to take overBy Gary EleazarThe talks between the Region 10 Administration and Central Government through Office of the President are deadlocked and a third party to act as an “honest broker” is being called for immediately.Speaker of the House, Raphael TrotmanSpeaker of the National Assembly, Raphael Trotman, yesterday weighed in on the current impasse at Linden and told this publication “the situation is crying out for third-party intervention.”The Speaker says that the people of Linden, “and all Guyana, have had enough of this messy situation and of the blame-throwing.”Trotman says that in his opinion the Church,Yeezy Scontate, (through representatives such as the Roman Catholic and Anglican Bishops and Pentecostal leaders) and the UNDP,Nike Air Max 97 Ireland, working together, “are the best poised institutions to enter into the fray and have the confidence and support of the major stakeholders and the wider public.”Trotman believed that anyone familiar with negotiations would realise that the talks taking place at Office of the President “have become stuck as a result of several predictable factors including fatigue, pride and an overall inability to bring closure to the matters agreed on in principle.”Trotman is adamant that “the parties must put national interest first and allow a facilitator(s) in.”President Donald RamotarHe warned that others such as the business and mining sector “will be accused of having an interest to serve” and as such would not allow for the required impact, to be had, by being involved in the process at this stage.“Time is of the essence,” he cautioned,Scarpe Adidas Nmd r1 Scontate, even as he posited that the circumstances currently are such, that “even with the best intentions, resolution will remain evasive.”Trotman said that “all those who have been struggling to bring an end to the situation, either in talks or by protest; all of whom are understandably wary as to the way forward,” must be commended.According to the official, by now it is patently obvious “both sides have tried to reach consensus, but despite their efforts, the end remains elusive.”Region 10 Chairman, Sharma SolomonHe suggests that the road towards a return to normalcy “must see a third group acting as a honest broker…entering the scene as facilitator and to act as a buffer between the two sides who frustratingly keep meeting and coming up empty-handed.”Trotman says that it is imperative that the talks between the stakeholders recommence, but this must “be supported by an injection of something new and different as a sort of sweetener to bring closure…. At this stage we need to begin thinking out of the box….Third-party intervention is the recommended way to go.”Following the July 18th killing of three demonstrators at the Wismar/Mackenzie Bridge in Linden, a team headed by Regional Chairman Sharma Solomon and Head of State, Donald Ramotar,Scarpe Adidas Stan Smith Scontate, along with his delegation had been meeting at OP with a view to resolutions.Those talks broke down on Friday last, mere hours before an anticipated ‘consensual resolution’ could have been inked at Office of the President.The Joint Services at the time had moved into the mining town to remove the blockades and another violent clash had broken out in the now besieged community.Other officials involved in the now stalemate negotiations at Office of the President are APNU’s second in command, Dr. Rupert Roopnaraine, Cabinet Secretary and Secretary to the Defence Board, Dr. Roger Luncheon, former PNCR Member of Parliament, Aubrey Norton, Presidential Advisor on Governance, Gail Teixeira,Air Max 2018 Elite Ireland, and recently elected Chairman of the Alliance for Change,Adidas Human Race Scarpe, Nigel Hughes, among others.
