CIOG calls for respect of democratic process

In the wake of the passage of the no-confidence motion in the National Assembly on Friday evening, the Central Islamic Organisation in Guyana (CIOG) calls on citizens to respect the country’s maturing democracy.
In a statement issued by the religious body on Sunday, it stated: “Guyana belongs to all Guyanese, regardless of race, creed, or religion. Our country is on the cusp of a massive transformational economic and social trajectory that can only be undermined by a divided Guyana.”
As such, the CIOG calls on all Guyanese to reject separatism and ethnic fear mongering for these would damage Guyana, harm its citizenry and benefit only economic mercenaries.
“As we progress through a turbulent political climate, CIOG categorically states that our politicians, citizens, and civil organisations have a moral and ethical responsibility to work together to safeguard our birthright, protect our democracy, and ensure the well-being of each and every Guyanese,” the CIOG stated.
