Donald Ramotar even attempting to question Brigadier David Granger’s distinguished service is preposterous

Jul 21, 2011 Letters

Dear Editor,
It is preposterous for Mr. Donald Ramotar to even attempt to question the distinguished service of Brigadier David Granger, MSS, MSM, Efficiency Medal, BDM, who has offered to this country he loves, the experience and expertise he has gained in more than 30 years of public service, including academia.
Ramotar’s notoriety is based solely on his membership and subsequent leadership of one of the most repressive political movements in the English-speaking Caribbean – the PPP.
What is most vexatious is that Donald Ramotar, who has never attempted to even provide any degree of actual public service, even of being a Boy Scout, feels himself empowered to attack this highly decorated Patriot.
He has no authority to determine who or what is the true quality of a soldier.
Brigadier Granger comes to the political scene at a time when his country is in desperate need of patriots and skill administrators, and as a committed Guyanese, he answered the call of his countrymen and women to offer his knowledge and talents for the national good.
To make such a mean-spirited attack on any person on the basis of their patriotism for questionable political advantage is utterly disgusting, especially when those vile attacks emanate from an individual who has since 1997, presided as General Secretary and de facto leader of the PPP, over the bloodiest periods in Guyana’s pre- and post-independence history.
Like many other Guyanese, I believe that given the atrocities the PPP has committed upon the people of Guyana, its leaders would only qualify to wear one type of uniform.
