Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, General Secretary of the ruling People&#8217;s Progressive Party (PPP), has pointed out the APA&#8217;s historical and recent connections with the opposition APNU\/AFC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes Laura George&#8217;s recent alignment with the AFC, which Dr. Jagdeo argues reinforces the APA\u2019s political ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Jagdeo noted that the APA&#8217;s former leader, Jean La Rose, was previously involved with the opposition coalition as their Deputy Representative in the 2015 elections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He emphasized that such political affiliations are significant when evaluating the APA&#8217;s credibility and actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The APA also faced criticism for its 2023 attempt to block Guyana&#8217;s ART Trees crediting, which could have hindered carbon credit earnings for Native American villages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Jagdeo contended that these actions contradict the APA&#8217;s stated commitment to Amerindian advocacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Dr. Jagdeo highlighted the APA&#8217;s lack of progress in developing a comprehensive Amerindian development strategy, despite the organization being active for nearly 15 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Samuel Sukhnandan and Kimberly Giddings The Amerindian People\u2019s Association (APA) is under scrutiny due to its political affiliations and recent actions.
