Regional chambers urge reconvening of parliament for meaningful dialogue

Regional chambers of commerce have joined the calls for political maturity to quickly resolve the crisis situation resulting from the prorogation of the Parliament.

The Association of Regional Chambers of Commerce (ARCC) in a press release on Wednes-day said that it notes with deep concern the issues emanating from the proroguing of Parliament, such as the expressed intentions of not having any dialogue, the calls for protests, the narrow-minded call for a boycott of businesses because of a political agenda, and the unease created among Guyanese.

The release said that the ARCC views with “skepticism” the government’s rationale that proroguing of Parliament will result in constructive dialogue and compromise with the opposition when three years in Parliament did not achieve any such results.

These actions, according to the press release, have serious implications for businesses across the length and breadth of Guyana, peace and good order.
