GUYANESE MPS QUIT OFFICE
skipping the country under the protection
of Canadian diplomats.
Problem is that Persaud and at least
seven members of that same parliament
all hold dual citizenship and are
/ were elected members of the assembly
despite clear constitutional guidelines,
which forbid them being members of
the house in the first place. Over the
decades, no one has made any serious
effort to enforce that constitutional rule
given the fact that hundreds of thousands
of Guyanese have become dual
citizens from so-called chain migration
to Canada, the US, the UK and other
metropoles. All are known to have lived
here full time for decades despite having
dual citizenships.
The result is that the dual citizenship
and foreign passport issue have
come back to bite the country in a place
where it politically hurts the most.
Attempting to overturn Persaud’s
single but devastating vote that had
toppled an administration with about
a year and a half left in its five-year
term, cabinet took the issue to the local
supreme court, asking it to declare that
Persaud’s vote was illegal because he
should not have been legally in parliament
in the first place because he is also
a Canadian citizen.
The supreme court ruled that constitutional
edicts relating to such are
clear so all those who hold such citizenship
should be expelled from the house.
There is a clear violation in play judges
said. A second appeal to the Guyana
appeals court upheld the lower court’s
ruling forcing President David Granger
to this week call it a ministerial
and parliamentary day for four of his
most senior colleagues rather than face
stinging criticism that he was violating
the constitution.
Those politically falling on their
sword include Second Vice President
and Foreign Minister, Carl Greenidge,
Minister of State, Joseph Harmon, Minister
of Business, Dominic Gaskin, who
is also the son in law of Granger and
Rupert Roopnaraine of the Public Service
Ministry. Harmon is a US citizen.
The three others are British. As for the
opposition, three of its members hold
dual citizenship and will also be ineligible
to sit in the house when it reconvenes
on April 11.
The move means that Granger will
now have to find four parliamentary
replacements for the dearly departing
ministers and MPs and find a creative
way to keep them in senior, perhaps
advisory positions in government and
as near to cabinet and high level forums
as possible.
The vote loss four days before Christmas
had set in train a series of constitutional
requirements including elections
within 90 days but this has been turned
upside down because the elections commission
has now said it won’t be ready
until at least late November to organize
fresh polls. That announcement has
clearly served as a dagger in the heart
of PPP plans to topple the government,
force emergency elections and retake
government after losing by a single
seat in 2015 and as Guyana prepares to
become an oil producer before yearend.

Homeless people need stability
for innovative policy solutions that can
truly move the needle in increasing
housing stability for New York families
and individuals,” it added.
It said that, while Queens Assemblyman,
Andrew Hevesi and Senator,
Liz Krueger’s legislation to create a
statewide rental subsidy with the Home
Stability Support Program is “commendable,”
the state’s 2020 adopted
budget “fails to create this statewide
rental subsidy.
“This leaves the most vulnerable New
Yorkers without the necessary resources
needed to break the barriers to stable
housing after experiencing homelessness
or its likelihood,” it said.
“Stopgap measures are not enough,”
the Coalition stressed. “For families at
risk of homelessness, stability is the
answer.”
The Coalition said it remains committed
to making a statewide rent subsidy
a reality.
“We challenge the state Legislature
and Gov. Cuomo to build upon the steps
taken in this year’s budget, and work
with us to ensure that at risk families
are better able to move from crisis to
stability,” it said.
The Family Homelessness Coalition
comprises the following organizations:
Advocates for Children of New York;
Barrier Free Living; CAMBA; Citizens
Committee for Children; Coalition for
the Homeless; Enterprise Community
Partners; Gateway Housing; Henry
Street Settlement; Homeless Services
United; Monadnock Development; New
Destiny Housing Corporation; RiseBoro
Community Partnership; Safe Horizon;
Settlement Housing Fund; The Floating
Hospital; and Women in Need.
