investment climate. Guyana is due
to become one of the world’s newest
oil producers by year end. US supermajor
ExxonMobil is preparing to
pump “first oil” from the seabed in a
matter of months having discovered
“world class deposits” offshore back
in 2015.
Government representatives
on the commission, for example,
have argued that the voters list is
extremely bloated, providing figures
showing a national population of
746,955 and a current voters list
with 633,155 names. Of this, the
national schools population of students
under the voting age of 18
is estimated at 260,000. This they
have used to press claims for a new
round of house to house registration
that would take an election
date to yearend or early next year
given the fact that there are other
requirements like a 32-day minimum
period between nomination
day for parliamentary candidates
and the actual date.
And while controversy swirls over
the commission’s announcement,
there is a slew of court challenges
that have sprung from that stunning
Dec. 21 vote.
For one thing, the government
side has asked judges to rule that the
single vote by legislator Charrandass
Persaud represented a simple
majority of 33 of the 65 members,
contending that their political nemeses
needed an absolute majority of
34 for the vote to carry. A ruling is
imminent but whichever side loses,
has vowed to drag the case all the
way to the Trinidad-based Caribbean
Court of Justice, Guyana’s final.
Still, it is unclear how the administration
would be punished for
missing the 90-day deadline. Its
attorneys have cited rules showing
that the call is up to the commission
to set a realistic date. There has been
precedent in the past for this.
Attorneys say there is one easy
and legal route to settle the row
and that is for the opposition and
government to return to parliament
before it is dissolved and vote by two
thirds majority to extend the life of
the entire system to cover for the
period between this week and the
next election date. The PPP has said
that it will not give government that
opportunity though it is becoming
clear that it has boxed itself into a
tight political corner and may not in
the end have a choice.

Trump in responding to a report about
his remarks at the time. “I have a wonderful
relationship with Haitians. Probably
should record future meetings — unfortunately,
no trust!”
In late January, Caribbean Community
(CARICOM) leaders ended a meeting with
United Nations Secretary General, Antonio
Guterres, at UN headquarters in New
York, expressing optimism that the UN will
assist in establishing the road map towards
peace and security for Venezuela.
CARICOM chairman and St. Kitts-Nevis
Prime Minister, Dr. Timothy Harris, led
a delegation, which included his Trinidad
and Tobago counterpart Dr. Keith Rowley
and Barbados Prime Minister, Mia Mottley.
The regional leaders had sought to
explore the possibility of the UN intervening
in the ongoing political situation in the
South American country.
“We believe in the coming days there
will be work towards dialogue, so that
the internal difficulties in Venezuela can
be approached without intervention and
interference from those who may have a
different approach,” said Rowley in a statement
then.
The statement noted that “coming out
of the meeting, the CARICOM delegation is
satisfied that if the conditions for such can
be met, the UN will assist in establishing
the road map towards peace and security
for Venezuela and the region”.
The meeting with the UN secretary
general followed an emergency meeting of
CARICOM leaders, at which they decided
that the regional body should engage the
global organization.
Following discussions with Guterres,
the CARICOM delegation held a meeting
with the Canadian ambassador to the United
Nations, Marc-Andre Blanchard, and
was also expected to meet with officials
from Russia, China and Venezuela.
After Venezuela’s Guaidó declared himself
the interim leader of Venezuela, he was
promptly recognized by several countries,
including the United States, Canada and
some Latin American states.
But Russia, China and Cuba remained
supportive of President Nicolas Maduro,
who was sworn into office in January for a
second consecutive term as president.
The Trump administration and its allies
have accused Maduro of suppressing democratic
rights in Venezuela and have called
for his removal.
