The AFC continues its political gamble
Dear Editor,
The Alliance for Change (AFC) continues its political gamble, creating issues. Now it’s the President’s travel and its cost.
The AFC has not produced publicly, figures to support its claim but buys time by promising to go to Parliament.
If the AFC had figures to support its claim, do you think it would be waiting for Parliament to publicise them?
They would have us believe that there is a golden rule on a country benefitting from foreign travel of its leader. No part of the world one links the travel of a Head of State to direct tangible benefits. The AFC is claiming that President Jagdeo travels too much and has produced too little for the cash spent.
Although AFC has produced no figure to support its bills on dollar claim, the figure has been debunked by the authorities.
But its silence on numbers notwithstanding, the AFC remains unconvincingly silent on the value for money aspects of their claim.
Perhaps the AFC can advise us how it rated the President’s trips since 2006 with regards to value for money.
The dishonesty exhibited by denying Guyana has advanced by leaps and bounds because of Jagdeo’s overseas travels which brought in consistent resources, including debt relief that saved us from social and economic degradation.
Could the AFC tell us if there was anyone else other than Jagdeo who could have brought in to Guyana US$250,000 as earnings from our forest from Norway?
