The Guyanese Delegation that attended the three faceted Conference in Nairobi Kenya during the month of September 2010 included, Hon. Hari Narain Ramkarran, Speaker of Guyana’s National Assembly; Dr. Jennifer Westford, Public Service Minister; Lloyd Pereira, Government Parliamentarian; Basil Williams, Opposition Parliamentarian and Monette Garnet-Christopher, Expenditure Planning and Management Analysis 2. Guyana was represented at the Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians of the 56th CPA, the 56th Commonwealth Parliamentary Association 2010 (Caribbean, Americas and the Atlantic Region) and at the 47th General Meeting of Clerks-at-the Table in Commonwealth Parliaments.
SPECIAL MOTION AT THE 84TH SITTING National Assembly paid special tribute to the late Mrs. Janet Jagan OE. Twenty-eight family members of the late courageous and first ever female Prime Minister of Guyana, Mrs. Jagan were seated in the Parliament Chambers on April 9th 2009. 
Family members were greeted and escorted to the Parliament Chamber of the Public Buildings where they were comfortably seated. They were welcomed to the sitting of the Assembly by the Hon. Speaker Ralph Ramkarran. Several Parliamentarians spoke to the Motion that sought to honor Mrs. Jagan’s Political life, particularly since she was one of the founder members of the People Progressive Party (PPP) on January 1st1950. Among other things mention was made of her selfless attitude towards organising, motivating and mobilising the working class families of Guyana especially the women – giving them the understanding and the techniques to be more independent in their thinking and actions rather than dependent and impressionable.
