‘Democracy is bureaucracy’

The government’s failure to begin the constitutional reform process within the first 100 days of assuming office should not be seen as an indicator that the Alliance For Change (AFC) has departed from its principles, according to the party’s Chairman Khemraj Ramjattan.

“Our principles and core values in relation to integrity, transparency and accountability will always remain as will our liberal democratic values,” Ramjattan told a press conference yesterday, while welcoming criticism, which he said forced the party to live “the examined life.”

Constitutional reform within the first 100 days in office was one of the promises in the APNU+AFC campaign manifesto.
