The closing days of the Bharrat Jagdeo regime
Dear Editor,
In the closing days of the Jagdeo regime, Guyanese are being daily bombarded with further disgusting descents in its standards of public behaviour.
The macabre statement by the Local Government Minister to justify withholding public funding from the City Council: “that if there is a health crisis in the City I’ll be glad because it will remove the City Council.
They’ll be responsible” matches in its despicable and callous abomination, the recent juxtaposed announcements of the sale of the President’s house for US$600,000 and the print and television media revelation of the demeaning handout at a public ceremony of US$6,000 to 46 African cultural groups, as contributions towards the August 1, 2010 Emancipation Day activities.
This latter sum equals exactly one percent of the value of the sale of the President’s house!
Most degrading of all in its recent behaviour is the Executive-inspired legal terror tactic directed at the freedom of expression of the private independent Kaieteur News and its columnist Freddie Kissoon, in retaliation for making fair comment and criticism of the Jagdeo administration.
Embarrassingly, this same Jagdeo regime holds a seat on a United Nations high-level body established to help garner resources to help save the world from environmental catastrophe.
Yet one of its Ministers embraces medical/biological terrorism of the citizens of Georgetown as a political tactic. Such wickedness must be one of the world’s cruelest ironies. WPA encourages citizens to send protest communications to the United Nations Secretariat and concerned member countries of CARICOM, the OAS, Commonwealth, European Union, Norway and the United States expressing their outrage at these grotesque happenings.
Mere mention of any of these countries in an internet communication will ensure it reaches the attention of the authorities in that country.
In the meantime let us all hope Jagdeo hurries up and goes on his way!
