President Bharrat Jagdeo has reiterated that trust between the ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) and the main opposition People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) is an essential perquisite towards any evolution of executive power sharing.

However, the President observed that unfortunately at the moment there is no atmosphere of trust.

He noted too for quite some time himself and Leader of the main Opposition PNCR, Robert Corbin, has not met but is hoping that when “sense returns and sanity prevails” Corbin will return to the table for discussions.

This he posited will help to develop a civilised political culture which is necessary for having a better and more institutionalised system of government and opposition collaboration in addressing the problems of the country.

In a jovial political jab, the President declared that when the scrutineers’ money dries up it will make Corbin return to the table.
