Brig. Granger accuses Jagdeo of ‘two mouth’

Mar 12, 2011 News

The People’s National Congress Reform Presidential Candidate David Granger has accused President Bharrat Jagdeo of being a man of double standards. Granger was at the time addressing members of the media at the Party’s weekly media briefing.
Speaking about the government’s handling of the United Nations proclaimed, International Year for People of African Descent, “One would have expected that any responsible Government would seek to promote the successful achievement of its declared objectives…the Head of State would be expected to set the appropriate example”.
However Granger said that President Jagdeo’s immorality and double standards have so disgraced his administration that he no longer has any moral authority to administer the affairs of Guyana.
Granger pointed out, that it is amazing that President Jagdeo could feel comfortable opening a National Men’s Forum recently and claim concern over the specter of escalating domestic violence in Guyana.
“The harboring of male predators and pedophiles at the Office of the President; encouraging wife abusers in his administration; deceiving the nation that he was legally married to Ms. Varshnie Singh and his abuse of her while she was his companion at State House, have all left him devoid of any moral authority to speak on those issues.”
In this context, Granger said the President’s speech at Babu John is reflective of the immorality and double standards he has displayed in both private and public life as he asks Berbicians to remember the past but tells Buxtonians to forget.
“Guyana is indeed in a moral crisis and it is to be hoped that Guyanese would together summon the will to remove once and for all this immoral dictatorial regime from our land.”
Granger added that while the UN has sought to have the year being used to strengthen national actions and regional and international cooperation for the benefit of people of African descent in relation to their full enjoyment of economic, cultural, social, civil and political rights, our administration has sought to do the contrary.
Instead of pursuing these objectives, Granger said that the PPP/C Administration led by President Jagdeo appears determined to manipulate this year for partisan political advantage. “The first blow was the deliberate exclusion of the major African Guyanese Organisations from the planning of the Programme and the hijacking of the opening so called “Official Launch” of the year”
The Government in its 2011 Budget has also provided millions of dollars in non specific allocations to allow for the flexibility to intervention in certain selective African communities if it deems it politically expedient to do so. This, Granger said, explains the PPP policy in Buxton in which the PPP has suddenly developed an interest.
”Significantly, in visiting this and other African communities President Jagdeo has failed to address their concerns over the torture, murder and disappearance of their sons at the hands of state forces and state sponsored phantom gangs”.
Granger added that the president has also failed to address the concern for an Independent International Inquiry that is supported by all major stakeholders in Guyana.
“Instead in visiting these African communities President Jagdeo has been urging them to forget the past and to look to the future: the complete opposite of what he advised his supporters at Babu John last Sunday”.
