MR JIMMY Carter has lauded the heroic efforts of President Bharrat Jagdeo and other leaders struggling to develop Guyana.
“Guyana is blessed with extraordinary human and natural resources, which President Jagdeo and other leaders are struggling heroically to utilize”, the former U.S. President said yesterday before leaving after a three-day visit.
He said there is, however, “little prospect for either substantial economic or social progress unless there is a truce in the political wars.”
“No one party should bear the blame. The traditions and culture of both major political parties are deeply entrenched and have their roots in fifty years of fierce rivalry that denies the legitimacy of the other party’s concerns.
“This problem can be solved only with basic constitutional changes in the system of governance”, he offered.
