The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) yesterday said that only general elections will resolve the current deadlock between the government and the opposition.
In a statement, the GCCI said that it is “extremely disappointed with the state of affairs as it pertains to the current status of our legislative branch of government.”
GCCI said it was almost fifty years since this country’s independence and the various factions within the political establishment still do not have the maturity to find common ground.
It also said that once again the Constitution had failed to provide definitive guidance in matters critical to the stewardship of the nation.
The Chamber said that in view of the stalemate, gridlock and failure to compromise over the past three years, the Chamber is hard pressed to believe that positive dialogue will be conducted during this period.
“It is clear that only national elections will resolve this issue. If the same or similar parliamentary configuration is the end result it means that the electorate is demanding that the political parties work together and those wishes should be respected.
“The Chamber is therefore urging all political parties to seek ways to resolve their differences and return to the business of managing the affairs of the nation as per the mandate they have been given”, the statement added.
