[www.inewsguyana.com] – Guyana’s diplomatic community was officially briefed about the content and context of the Cummingsburg Accord which was signed on February 14 by A Partnership For National Unity (APNU) and Alliance For Change (AFC).
The Cummingsburg Accord details that APNU and AFC would contest the May 11 polls as one entity.
Prime Ministerial Candidate for the APNU/AFC coalition, Moses Nagamootoo said the meeting was critical noting that the decision was taken to brief the Diplomatic community to ensure that there was a clear understanding of what the coalition’s priorities would be, were they to assume the role of government post May 11.
“We are treating everyone as equal partners, as friends and that there is no need for anyone to have any reservations. We felt there was also need for an explanation as regards to distribution of new powers and how this will be done within the confines of consultation and consensus to bring about inclusiveness,” Nagamootoo said.
Nagamootoo also assured the diplomatic community that the APNU/AFC will not engage in vendetta or witch-hunting.
“Wherever there have been wrong doing the judicial process will take its course,” Nagamootoo explained.
The Prime Ministerial Candidate appealed to the Diplomatic Community to join the Coalition’s call for calm during the campaign and election period.
“We also want the international community, the embassies and missions here and Non-Governmental Organizations to join the APNU+AFC Coalition in appealing for calm and that there should be no appeal for violence or to ethnicity and racism,” Nagamootoo said.
Campaign Co-Chairman Joseph Harmon also endorsed Nagamootoo’s comments.
“It was an opportunity for us to brief the diplomats about the Cummingsburg Accord, what it is, what it purports to do and the way it is going to change the political culture of Guyana,” Harmon said.
“They had concerns on our emphasis on domestic violence and corruption and question about the establishment of the Public Procurement Commission and they also wanted to ensure that the political temperature over this period is calm,” Harmon added in echoing Nagamootoo’s call for tranquility.
Representatives from the US Embassy, Canadian High Commission, British High Commissions, the European Union, the Indian High Commission and the Brazilian and Russian Embassies among others were present.
The APNU/AFC team included Nagamootoo, Harmon and Raphael Trotman, Cathy Hughes, AFC General Secretary David Patterson.
MORE LIKE CUNNINGBIRDS accord.
The AFC sold out.
They do not have equal say.
60/40 is in favour to APNU.
Mr Ramjattan was supposed to lead.
Now I really feel sorry for Nagain mootoo, (snake mootoo) who in a public meeting said he would never be a “Nimakaram” (ungrateful) to the PPP. This ungrateful snake forget that it is the PPP that took him out from the cane field and send him to get an education. We used to sacrificially raised money to give Cheddi Jagan to feed, clothed, and educate those low class whose morale is now lower than the belly of a snake. It doesn’t matter who win the next election. The world will forever remember some of these poor politicians for their betrayal. I hereby encourage all readers to Google Moses Nagamootoo, Winston Felix, and Basil Williams and see and listen to those recordings. Then question yourself.

A B C countries know who create and cause violence during and after elections are over. PNC. Losers.
Well poor old Nagamoottoo PPP must be feeling really out of place sitting alongside Harmon PNC-Trotman PNC Cathy Hughes PNC-Patterson PNC.
Racial unity eh Nagaboy? U R so hungry to get the least power to get back at those in PPP that U think wronged you. No Nagaboy no no one in PPP wronged you but you in-self wronged you. Jagan did not die leaving Guyana for you to run and the same goes for old man Ramkarran PPP too.
Nagaboy did you not know that the international community knew who caused the atrocity perpetrated on East Indians on Agricola Public Road while you stuffed your mouth with you know what? “We are treating everyone as equal partners, as friends—-Really Nagaboy??? Really? U better think before talking again Nagaboy..
