Little or no hope for Guyana

Aug 04, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
As I sit and read Leon J. Suseran letter “Our nation is once again at political crossroads” Kaieteur News Sunday, August 2, 2009, all I can say there is no hope for Guyana.
How can anyone say, “Only the PPP can run this country — no other party?” Is running Guyana the PPP’s birthright? It is this attitude and foolish perception which continue to have Guyana in its abysmal state and thus provide little or no opportunities for advancement of its people, especially its young people.
My question to Leon J. Suseran is what criteria will be used to determine who can and cannot govern Guyana? At this point I think anyone with commonsense may do a better job. How can you do worse?

The PPP seems to have no smarts in attracting substantial investment. The PPP seems to have no smarts in ensuring it keeps its shares in GT&T. Which by the way, I see no sense in wanting to sell to GT&T giving it 100% stake in the company if the claim is liberalization of the telecommunication sector. It makes no sense!
The PPP seems to have no smarts in ensuring its people and territory is respected by other Caribbean territories. Even Suriname had the smarts and temerity to run CGX out from Guyana territory. So my point is the PPP seems to have no smarts in what it takes to run a country.

In any mature democratic country the PPP would not be in power. Even in Barbados, where Owen Arthur would have thought he could have gotten another term, he was booted. Jamaica, Portia Simpson would have probably expected to do well after taking over from PJ Patterson, but no luck.
So, Leon J Suseran, the only reason you can claim “only the PPP can run this country — no other party” is because just like the PPP, you expect that the voting pattern in Guyana will continue and thus they will have their birthright.
