Ramotar’s government has found little support for prorogation which critics have argued has shut down the legislative branch of government and the forum through which the people’s representatives are heard. He has come under fire from political parties, civil society and other groupings, with the UK and Organisation of American States, among others, calling on him to end the suspension of parliament. On Monday, the United Kingdom warned that Guyana is on a “dangerous path” and the country could be referred to a Commonwealth body which deals with serious violators of democracy principles while London’s aid to Guyana could be affected if the suspension of Parliament is not lifted. British High Commissioner to Guyana Andrew Ayre had called on the government to resume Parli-ment without further delay or lay out a timeline for the resumption of Parliamentary democracy. Leader of the Opposition David Granger believes that the uncertainty surrounding the date for general elections is putting a damper on the economy while the government campaigns at the expense of parliamentary democracy and scrutiny.
