We, the undersigned citizens of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, call on the National Assembly to immediately fulfil its constitutional responsibilities to the people of this nation.

The Constitution is clear: sovereignty belongs to the people of Guyana, and it is exercised through Parliament. When Parliament does not function, when it fails to sit regularly, when its oversight committees remain unconstituted, and when citizens cannot follow or engage with the parliamentary process, that sovereignty is denied.

We are concerned because:

Parliament has gone more than 90 days without a single sitting, with no explanation and no formal resolution authorizing any recess. Key oversight bodies, including the Sectoral Committees and the Public Accounts Committee, remain unconstituted more than six months after Parliament reconvened. Without a published parliamentary calendar, citizens cannot meaningfully follow, understand, or engage with the decisions being made on their behalf. Billions in public revenues, including unprecedented oil earnings — are being managed without adequate legislative scrutiny.

We therefore call on the National Assembly to:

• Convene Parliament immediately and ensure it meets at regular, predictable intervals sufficient to discharge its constitutional functions.
• Establish and publish a structured parliamentary calendar to promote transparency, accountability, and public confidence.
• Constitute without further delay all standing and sectoral committees, including the Public Accounts Committee, so that Parliament can effectively scrutinise government policy, administration, and expenditure.
• Take all steps necessary to fully and effectively discharge its role as the democratic organ through which the sovereignty of the people of Guyana is exercised.
  Parliament belongs to the people. It must work for the people.
