There are many answers for this question. First, they complained about not being able to have representation in Parliament so that they could voice their discontent, opinions, etc. Another justification was all the taxes imposed on them by the British (stamps, tea, property). If the taxes were not all paid, the people would be thrown into debtor's prison, even if the taxes were ridiculously high. One more justification was because of the Quartering Act, which stated that is was the duty of the colonists to basically allow British troops to be quartered in their homes.

Why Guyana sought independence?

Guyana sought independence primarily to escape British colonial rule and to gain self-determination. The desire for political and economic autonomy was fueled by a growing nationalist movement and dissatisfaction with colonial governance, which many felt did not address the needs of the diverse population. Additionally, the post-World War II context, which saw a wave of decolonization across the globe, inspired Guyanese leaders to push for independence. Ultimately, Guyana achieved independence from Britain on May 26, 1966.
