Putting a spin on the facts

May 11, 2011 Letters

Dear Editor:
Well it is clear that the PPP is suffering from grand spates of mental delusions. On April 29, 2011, there were between 80 and100 persons on a protest line advocating against bad governance in Guyana against the PPP Presidential Candidate, Donald Ramotar, and his political “shut tail” boy.
This number was verified by the journalists on the ground, including a Jamaican journalist who has no vested interest in cooking the numbers. However, what is more troubling is why the lies are springing from the PPP Press Release?
Lie 1 – Protestor were paid
FACT – None of the AFC protestors were paid and based on my conversation with the protestors from the PNC and the Benschop Group, they said they all came willingly. I think Donald Ramotar is mixing up the protestors in front of Club Tobago with Kwame’s boys who protested in front of the AFC head office for $50,000 a shot.
Lie 2 – there were 600 people in the room.
FACT – The media person in the hall subsequently told me that there were between 250 and 275 person in the hall. A PPP political activist told me that 250 persons were too much but I will give the PPP the benefit of the doubt and say 300.
True Marxist propaganda; double the number, baffle the people. But we had our AFC members inside to observe and 600 persons is one big fat lie. As an observation, the AFC engaged a paying audience on a cold winter night in February and got more than 300 persons to attend. The PPP with free entry on a hot Spring night lost the transport to Richmond Hill to the AFC.
Lie 3 – the AFC has a “cack eye” economic policy.
FACT – Donald has created the mental constructs to make his existence bearable and thus he now has a well-established reputation for dabbling in personal attacks (Ravi Dev, now Ramjattan).
However, it is about time the people realize his intellectual ceiling and thus bring clarity to why he is DUCKING THE DEBATE at UG. Many persons who were not PPP went to that hall to hear how different his policies were from Jagdeo’s only to be confronted with vile and nasty personal comments on his political adversaries.
These elections are not about Granger, Ramjattan or Ramotar. These elections are about which Team has the best policies for Guyana .
Well let me put Donald on notice; Ramjattan is an intellectual giant who has assembled a world class global team that is advising him on public policy. Ramjattan is not interested in who has “cack eye or bald head or big belly”; he is singularly focused on hearing the people’s issues and challenging his technical team to continuously development a superior menu of policy measures which will alleviate or mitigate the people’s issues. Thus Donald will never find Ramjattan in his gutter or on his crab march.
Anyone can read the policies that Ramjattan and Holder are pushing at www.voteafc.com. They have nothing to hide and our Action Plan is further being refined after incorporating new concerns of the people.
The people have told us clearly they are not happy
with the PPP’s inability to create jobs, fight crime and their system of Governance.
I am extremely disappointed that Ramotar failed to raise his game to a level where he can tell the people what he is going to do for Guyana . Saying Ramjattan has “cack eye” or Granger has “blood on his hands” will not put bread on the people’s table Ramotar?
I am disappointed since at least Ramotar has a superior economics degree to that “kanta” Patrice Lumumba degree.
The Ramotar and Jagdeo show in New York is a clear indication of how the PPP plans to run Guyana if the people allow them to win; with threats, deceit, lies and massive corruption. They did not even allow the press to ask one question. What are they afraid of?
