At which PNCR Congress was Armstrong elected an executive?

May 06, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
Within recent times, the name of a personality keeps popping up as being associated with events and entities that are notoriously regarded as opposed to the Government of Guyana.
This particular personality like many other Guyanese professionals of African descent are noted by their numerous written interventions to the press media, as violently bent in using every opportunity to condemn the best efforts of the government and to agitate for “change.”
These thoroughly disgruntled African professionals will never cease their pernicious course of action until their collective desire is satisfied, that is, to have a non-Indian as the head of government of this country.
Their efforts are manifold and pernicious like the deliberate palpable effort at embarrassing the PPP government attempted by the Aubrey Armstrong wages tribunal in awarding unprecedented nearly 60% increased salaries to public servants in the space of year.
Now here he is, pops up at the GTUC May Day rally and talked about political oppression and is quoted thus: “I’m telling youths, if we don’t get a change, there is going to be “PPP” in this country: “piss and pepper to pay.”
Armstrong is also represented as being an executive of the PNCR and I just wonder at which Congress was he elected an executive? In my book, he joins the ranks of a series of “backdoor” politicians being imposed upon the rank and file membership.
