The PNCR is obviously comfortable fighting loosing battles by jumping on frivolous, petty issues (such as condemning the Former Presidents Benefits and other Facilities Bill 2009) that can get them nowhere other than in the bad books of Guyanese, the majority of whom view them as time wasters.
Since the introduction of this legislation we have been examining the laws in several countries including the United States and Caribbean all of which have provisions very similar to the Bill Guyana is now proposing for benefits of Former Presidents.
It is hypocritical for the PNCR to criticise giving benefits to former Presidents when it did not object and actually voted for the Bill that took care of President Hoyte's spouse, Mrs. Joyce Hoyte.
