Mr. Cordis is wrong

Sep 01, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
I am compelled to respond to Mr. Archie Cordis constant griping on the contents of my television programme in Region 2, “Let’s Talk Essequibo”.
This individual who is an AFC Regional Councilor is seemingly desperate to be featured on the very television programme where in a previous letter to the press he was critical of the presence of no other than the Regional Chairman.
In fact, Cordis seeks to justify his desperation for attention by indicating that he knows the arithmetic of Region 2 better than myself. Yet, in this latest letter attacking my programme he mentions everything else except the concerns highlighted by the people of Region 2. So much for his ‘genuine’ interest in addressing issues affecting the people in that region.
Even more surprising for a man who claims to have the people of Region 2 at heart is the fact this AFC councilor publicly stated that he is against the Regional Chairman, Mr. Parmanand Persaud, interacting with certain residents in Essequibo because he is of the opinion that their problems are minor.
Well I have a message for this AFC Councillor. Let’s Talk Essequibo will continue to engage all the people of Region 2 irrespective of if their concerns are minor or major, with a view of highlighting their experiences to have them addressed.
The dishonesty of this AFC Councilor is even more revealing as despite all his griping he has not admitted that he is allowed to call in and air his views, however, jaundiced as he has done in the past.
Let me now deal with the issue of Linden as he seeks to draw comparisons with the Linden protests and the Arab spring uprising which is totally flawed.
Mr. Cordis exposes himself once again by stating that he has followed the Arab Spring uprising and no journalist would think of asking the protestors if they were or will be better off. Well, the truth of the matter is that I am not sure what Mr. Cordis has been following but he is completely wrong once again.
This is one of the most common questions and in fact it was even a topic on the Doha Debates.
