Mar 11, 2009 Letters
Dear Editor,
Humphrey Charles seems to have recovered enough to return to the letter columns of Kaieteur News of Thursday, March 05, 2009, while he gives Donald Isaacs a rest to recuperate.
If Charles feels that what I have to say is, according to him, “a waste of time” and “so-called truths” why bother to engage in discussion through the letter columns.
Humphrey Charles seems to display what can only be called his brazen impudence, when he lays down his condition that I must first “answer these questions” which he puts, in another attempt, following Isaacs letter in what I termed an attempt to ridicule and apparently to shift the goal posts.
Charles has even gone further by describing anything I say as “distorted figures and facts” while he and Isaacs display their incompetence and inability to answer what I have already stated, especially my question as to whether it is fact or fiction that the PNC rigged election to stay in office and if this wasn’t the highest form of corruption.
His attitude reminds me of the claim of the PNC, leading up to the 2001 elections, that they had investors lined up with US$500 million who would only invest in the country if the PNC won.
At least we know that any comments or criticism of the government or ruling party will be published and be in the public domain unlike what happened before, for public scrutiny and debate.
This administration has nothing to hide and is fully open to scrutiny.
This no one can deny. Guyana over the past decade or so has been able to send food, financial and human resources aid and assistance to other countries.
And in the first natural disaster we ever suffered, the floods of 2005, (after the PNC rule) we were able to respond to it altogether, without asking for international assistance across racial and party lines.
