Ambassador’s statement before the OAS was a blatant abuse of presidential authority

Dear Editor,

Thank you for your timely editorial on the meeting of the Permanent Council OAS on August 22, 2012.

In supporting the argument of your editorial I also wish to add that the Government of Guyana acted in bad faith. After negotiations and signing of an agreement, it went behind the back of its opposite numbers and briefed the OAS in a most self-serving distortion of the political situation in Guyana.

Pending other efforts I believe the OAS having listened to an indictment of the Linden citizens has an obligation to invite their representatives to speak to the Permanent Council of the OAS whose Chair is now the Ambassador of Guyana.

If the statement of the Ambassador before the Permanent Council of the OAS was accurately reported, then it is a blatant abuse of presidential authority and of the Foreign Service institution

Yours faithfully
Eusi Kwayana
