Georgetown : The Alliance For Change says the party welcomes the announcement of a date for new General and Regional Elections as a victory of pro-democracy forces in Guyana.
The AFC claims that President Ramotar has finally buckled to criticisms that his prorogation of Parliament in the face of AFC's No Confidence Motion was reckless, and had placed our parliamentary democracy in danger. The prorogation has attracted wide condemnation in Guyana, and pressures from friendly states, with indications that sanctions could follow.
The AFC is concerned however that the minority regime would continue to spend public funds since August 10, 2014 – an interrupted period of 9 months – without parliamentary approval or scrutiny.
There are justifiable fears that the regime would continue to abuse these funds for PPP elections campaign, as well as other state resources including the media and vehicles.
Now that a date for elections has been set AFC urges Gecom to urgently publish guidelines against abuse of state resources.
