The government is using a lot of scare tactics to deceive people; therefore it is very important that the ordinary citizen understand what is going on. That was the concern expressed by A Partnership for National Unity (APNU)’s Joseph Harmon yesterday as he sought to shed some “real” light on the situation.According to Harmon, the government is using the present situation as it relates to the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism amendment Bill to scare citizens into thinking that the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) is going to institute measures that will essentially shut down the country “that is not the case.”“The government is saying to the citizens, ‘look, the money you are receiving from your remittances gon stop, your barrels gon stop’,Throwback Jerseys, well let me say this, the enhanced provisions of CFATF have been in place for a long time.”Harmon said that the people who receive remittances know that if they are going to Western Union they now have to provide additional information such as producing an identification card and answering questions, among other things.  He pointed out that these are all features that were put in place a while now. “So for the government to say all the people suffer, let me say this to the Guyanese people, the hard working people who invest they own money to do business, you are not going to be affected in this way unless your business is running on illegal money.”He said that the citizens who are doing legitimate business should not be afraid because additional paper work will be the only difference.Harmon said that Guyana is already on a dark gray list, so failure to pass the Bill will just take Guyana to another stage of scrutiny from financial institutions. He told media operatives that Guyana needs   the scrutiny to “clean up things” as we will now have more orderly development in the country.APNU leader, David Granger said that his party is willing to work day and night to get this matter through, but government is taking its own sweet time.While hitting his hand loudly on the table, Granger asserted that he can’t understand how “people” are talking about doing things hurriedly, when Thursday marked three weeks since Parliament came out of recess and there has been no sitting.He made it clear that APNU’s position has not and will not change as it relates to support for this Bill.He remarked that his Party does not think that certain aspects of the Bill can be adequately addressed on the floor of the National Assembly, hence it was sent to the Special Select Committee.He added that his party has no confidence in the effectiveness of the Bill in its current form.Granger told media operatives that Guyana is already in trouble due to no fault of his Party, but rather the work of the government.He opined that it is unlikely that CFATF or any other financial institution is going to be moved simply by the passage of the law… “They are going to look for enforcement. They have criticized Guyana over the last four years because of the level of enforcement; there was not a single prosecution.”Granger noted that the government is making an effort to paint a situation for the public to feel as if the Bill is passed tomorrow, all will be nice and dandy.Harmon sought to address a statement made by Roger Luncheon earlier this week to the effect that the Bill does not have to satisfy APNU but rather has to have what CFATF dictated.Harmon underscored that while CFATF can dictate what it wants to see in the Bill it cannot dictate to parliamentarians how an independent country such as Guyana should approach legislative work; “no other body outside the National Assembly can dictate how we proceed to do our work.”He added that since 2011, Guyana has been facing obstacles “but we never knew about it.”Harmon said that when the Committee was established, the government had all the information but was stingy with it; “we had to keep asking and asking and got it dribble by dribble…How can such a Committee function with limited information.”APNU also listed a series of events that occurred, which it said sent a clear statement that the chair of that Committee, Gail Teixeira wanted to ensure that the opposition could not make it to the meeting where she adjourned the work of the Committee.
