Jagdeo was first to register dissatisfactionwith several EPA clauses

Aug 31, 2008 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
The editorial of Thursday, August 28, 2008 in the SN was especially lengthy, taking up all but 16 column inches of a whole page.

Titled “EPA Rumblings,” it indeed was full of ramblings in attempting to review the negotiations between the EC and CARIFORUM on the proposed Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA).

It would appear that while the whole wide world is aware that the astute Bharrat Jagdeo was the first, at his level, to register dissatisfaction with several clauses in the proposed agreement and vehemently refused to sign on, as requested by the EU, quite deliberately and seemingly provocative, the author/s of the editorial decided not to acknowledge this vital fact if an honest review of the “EPA Rumblings” were to be conducted.

To this humble layman, it is a direct affront to the President of Guyana. It also demonstrates the obvious contempt which is often embraced by the SN in treating with the highest office holder in our country.
No mention whatever was made to the significance of the action adopted by President Jagdeo
