“I do not know anything about the Order of Liberation,” PNCR Leader Corbin said. “… We [the PNCR] know nothing about it. I have never been advised of it. Our support in Parliament on the motion had to do only with recognition of his [Dr Jagan's] service to the Parliament.”
GAP-ROAR MP Everall Franklin said a Government Information Agency report that Parliament unanimously approved the posthumous award of the Order of Liberation of Guyana to Dr Cheddi Jagan at the December 13, sitting in a motion to pay tribute to Dr Jagan’s struggle for a free and democratic Guyana, “is totally incorrect. We were shocked when we heard of it. What was passed was a motion recognising his contribution and publishing a Special Hansard of his contribution to the Parlia-ment. It had nothing to do with the Order.
Holder said: “The proclamation was not brought to Parliament to give it legality and to treat it with respect. Why should we have attended the ceremony (at State House)?”
From the AFC perspective, she said, the party has never heard of such an order. The party believed that if the President was serious he would have taken the proclamation to Parliament and announced it.
Riehl said she saw the announcement of the Order of Liberation for the first time in the newspapers. “I never heard of it before. I don’t know anything. It is not in the list of national awards. I am still waiting to see if the government is going to bring an amendment to the act that brought into being the national awards,” she said adding that she did not know enough on the matter to say more.
