Granger declares 2013 “year of Youth”

Georgetown: Leader of A Partnership for National Unity David Granger in his Republic Anniversary message, declares 2013 the ‘Year for Youth’, and took a bold step to restore young people’s faith in the institutions of our country. The message says” Our nation is now looking forward to the future with increasing confidence.

The National Assembly, now with an opposition majority, has assumed its rightful role in the Republic. The Legislative branch – for the first time in two decades – is better able to hold the Executive branch to stricter standards of scrutiny and accountability. It has demonstrated its resolve to assert its constitutional authority in the state.

The National Assembly has seized the democratic opportunity to deepen the representative process and to demand that the executive branch of government implements measures aimed at creating a good life for all Guyanese.

A Partnership for National Unity salutes Republic Day 2013 as another milestone in our political evolution. It finds our nation further along the road to consolidating our parliamentary democracy, insisting on improved governance and to making Guyana a better place for all.

Granger

 

Happy Republic Day!”
