Former President Donald Ramotar has expressed “disappointment” at the Caribbean Community’s (CARICOM) silence on the government’s constitutional violations saying that it lends credence to criticisms of others who question the organisation’s relevance.
“I am very disappointed that CARICOM has stayed so quiet on a matter of such grave importance not only to Guyana but in the region,” Ramotar, who attended CARICOM Heads of government meetings while President, told Stabroek News yesterday.
“Here we have a situation where the law is violated, our Constitution is trampled upon and shown disregard for and there was, and continues to be deafening silence from CARICOM. Here we have a court decision from the highest court of the very CARICOM. That alone can give credence to the views of some [who] say that CARICOM doesn’t care about what happens to persons in this country and has outlived its relevance,” he added.
