Protest calls for Jagdeo’s resignation

Protesters in front of the Office of the President

Several citizens yesterday staged a protest in front of the Office of the President demanding that Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo resign in light of concerns raised by a recent VICE News feature, titled ‘Guyana for Sale.’

APNU+AFC parliamentarians Sherod Duncan and Christopher Jones were among those on the protest line. Duncan said, “All of the things that are symptomatic of the PPP government they are back here with us and we ain’t taking it. We are not going to sit down on this for 23 years we are not taking it. He must go.” He added, “…the people demand an explanation as it regards the statement Vice President Jagdeo made by saying ‘Su handles all of the arrangements and Su has all the support and he works on the government side.’”
