Dear Editor,
Mankind is the most divisive, mischievous, and treacherous of God’s creations. The intent of my missive is to reassure the residents of Linden that Brigadier Granger is not capable of cutting deals, as some mischievous and dishonest individuals, politicians by extension may want you to believe.
Anyone who has interacted with Granger would say that he is not someone whose integrity is questionable. The fact of the matter is that Lindeners have made a U-turn during this last election and this has caused many to be in a state of shock, which will remain with those affected for a very long time.
Lindeners must be wary of those who come like thieves in the night to create confusion in their community. The valiant effort to gain political points by their attempt to tarnish the image and integrity of an honest, committed and caring individual whose character is unquestionable will not succeed.
The haste with which these individuals rushed to Linden is no surprise; all they wanted was to impress Lindeners that they really care. Either these politicians are barefaced or they pretend to have convenient memories.
These are the said hypocrites who once openly criticised the PNC for protesting on the streets. I wish to ask these politicians if they truly believe that poverty affects one’s memory. David Granger is strong enough to withstand these vicious lies peddled by elements with their own agenda.
What is there for Granger to sell ? Granger is not accustomed to selling or dealing. His critics called him a new kid on the block but this kid has done what no other politician has done. The Brigadier is concerned about the poor and downtrodden in Guyana and was not elected to wage unwarranted vendetta against anyone, because he has no personal grudge against.
As leader of the opposition Granger’s commitment is to every Guyanese regardless of their political persuasion. Last but not least, the man’s name is David, not Judas and he is here when Guyanese will see who are the wheelers and dealers.
David, Rupert and Carl are men of integrity and Linden and Guyanese by extension can expect effective representation from them.
