by in Guyana, News

Georgetown: "The world is moving liberally and the youths in Guyana have an integral role in not only keeping abreast with current ideas and novel advancements but to serve as agents of revolution as we would have seen in the November 28 Regional and General Election 2011." 
This is according to Christopher Jones one of the youngest and newest faces in the benches of the legislative branch of Government.
Jones who is the Chairman of the Youth Arm of the Peoples National Congress Reform which constitutes the largest bloc of A Partnership For National Unity says that "for too long policy makers have failed to develop a framework that speaks to the continuity of our nation therefore I'm determined to initiate legislation and support legislators interested in the development, empowerment and enrichment of the youths and by extension the nation." 
Jones told this publication that in order for him to fulfill the objectives of his role as an agent of revolution, it is important for him to constantly be aware of national and international issues of economic, social and political importance and also to play a more proactive role in policy making, "which as a young Parliamentarian I am committed to." 
Jones says that he  brings to the National Assembly a "wealth of experience, passion and determination" qualities that he says has aided his still young political career and which "I hope continues to serve me well as a Parliamentary Member of APNU."
Jones says that having worked assiduously in the GYSM the youth arm of the PNC/R for a number of years and ascending to its chairmanship, "I do believe that I am aptly informed of our nation's plight since the youths all around this beautiful land of ours have a singular message – We must be heard!"
Jones a father of two boys has been married for five years and has been identified as one of the newest young PNC/R members to enter the National Assembly as a Parliamentarian. He was shortlisted along with Joan Bhaveghems to serve in the latter quarter of the ninth Parliament when the party leader had to fill a seat left vacant by Anthony Veira which was vacated.
Bhaveghems eventually went on to serve in the National Assembly as a conduit for the grass root level of the party. She will continue to serve in that capacity when the 10th Parliament is convened in January.
Jones will join a number of young parliamentarians in the cadre of APNU to serve for the next five years in the House including fellow newcomers Annette Ferguson and Attorney-at-Law James Bond among others.
