Dear Editor,
This is an open letter to Guyanese politicians and by extension, political parties, especially the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR). “Cowards die many times before their death.” I am not feeling any political vibrations coming from the opposition parties in Guyana.
They are no vibes, it appears to me as if there is a death in a family and everybody is mourning. The only sound or vibration we are getting is from the People’s Progressive Party (PPP).
There are enough intellectuals among politicians in the PNCR, WPA and AFC to form a government that could replace the PPP. Mr. Robert Corbin should give up this so called leadership in the PNCR and step aside so young, militant aspiring members can come forward to prove themselves as competent leaders.
No young person will join the police force and want to remain at the bottom until he/she retires. This young person will hope someday to become the Commissioner of Police. No young nurse will join the medical profession and want to remain a nurse on the floor, until retirement. That young person will someday want to become a ward sister or Matron, likewise every young person joining a political party someday.
Mr. Corbin is blocking the way for ambitious political minded persons from joining the PNCR, since he opined that he will retain the leadership of the party.
All young political minded individuals should wake up from their sleep and send out some vibes to the Guyanese public over 18 years of age to come out and vote in large numbers.
We are not feeling any political vibration since the death of Walter Rodney. Politicians need to rise up and win the election in order to reclaim Guyana from the PPP
A call should be sent out to all politicians who have gone into retirement, such as Dr. Aubrey Armstrong, Mr. Aubrey Norton, Mr. Jerome Khan, Mr. Stanley Ming, Mr. James McAllister and the entire women’s arm to come forward in this effort, so as to defeat the current government (PPP).
A special PNCR congress should be called now to elect new executives and all post including leadership should be placed on the table. The PNCR should invite three respected members from civil society to conduct the party’s election. Mr. Corbin should have nothing to do with it.
Come on opposition political parties in Guyana. Wake up and commence this campaign and defeat the PPP. You can do it, if you really want to.
