Jagdeo’s attack on David Granger not surprising

Mar 09, 2011 Letters

Dear Editor,
What is going on here, today, in Guyana – is a continuation of the rape and crime committed by the PNC following their 28 years of misrule. These policies to a large measure are now being followed by the Jagdeo regime against all sections of the Guyanese population – perhaps in different degrees, but the effect remains the same.
Those of us who live here, bear the brunt of the daily attacks, particularly our working and poverty-stricken people. There is no let up. The abuse and squandermania has become widespread – as never before and has made the PNC look like Lilliputians.
I was writing from abroad for a long time – but now I live and do business here – just to let my fellow bloggers understand.
I was charged by the PNC regime, under Forbes Burnham, on two occasions – the first one for preventing the PNC from rigging the elections of July 1973 and later in May 1980 indicted for treason.
I did not have an enjoyable youthful life, like many of my generation. We suffered first as a member of a particular race group and secondly as activists of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP).
Bharrat Jagdeo did not have any of those experiences and I dont envy him, as Moses Nagamootoo, said recently on two interviews on Capital News – a TV news agency. We expected our youths to do better and when in authority do not abuse powers and privileges as Jagdeo and such other people are doing. They did not earn such levels of authority.
Our problem, also, is the current leadership of the PNC. There is a reactionary section of the People’s National Congress, mainly supporters of the David Granger -Robert Corbin camp—that is blind to truth and the reality of life. No one will be able to work with them.
They cannot see that Robert Corbin has been responsible for the gradual decline in the standard of life in Guyana and the continued rape of our country wealth – which goes to a handful of people – closely connected to the Jagdeo administration.
Robert Corbin contributes to the state of affairs due to his failure to genuinely and vigorously confront the current regime on a daily basis – in an organised manner. Such levels of open collaboration with Jagdeo are treasonable, when one considers the level of dislocation that is taking place in our country today.
I have no faith in political parties or the current bunch of people who are gearing up to continue the stealing from the public purse and continue the dislocation. Our people are very fearful of politicians of all shades and parties.
We need a new type of politics. We need fresh blood and we need people’s power. We all have a responsibility to organise ourselves in the area where we live and elect people at the local level to represent us.
The David Granger nomination as the PNC presidential will end up in great danger. I have said enough about his involvement in rigged election in Guyana and when the truth is fully told – it will shock PNC supporters and the nation.
