Examining Kwayana’s defence of Dr. David Hinds

Sep 12, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
Without any hesitation Mr. Eusi Kwayana rushes to defend his fellow Buxtonian Dr David Hinds, mimicking God as if to say “Behold My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, in whom I have glorified my Name.”
Why is the same firebrand who failed to instigate harassed Buxtonians to dig up and destroy the pristine PPP/C-built roads in the village so favored by his mentor, and they both living in America?
What informs our ‘saintly elder-in-exile pleasures when rabble rousing politicians such as  Dr Hinds were busy fanning the flames of violence in Linden which resulted in three Guyanese being unfortunately shot dead? What is Mr. Kwayana’s continuing nexus with an expired agenda associated with death, destruction, doubt, damnation and racial divisions all constantly opposed to that which is good, peaceful, progressive and fair in Guyana?
Why has a justifiable equality for all Guyanese to pay the same electricity rates only again emphasized Mr. Kwayana and company’s disconnect with Guyana’s realities?
Without any doubt Mr. Kwayana’s letter, “OP discredited Hinds when he complained of harassment instead of discouraging it” in the SN of 11-9-12 indeed exhibits a nagging disturbance about Dr Hinds activities.
Should a foreign university’s infamous full time faculty member, evidently busy creating chaos to justify an unfair demand for unequal electricity payments, be rightfully censored because it exposes both to shame and ridicule? Should Guyana’s President become unnecessarily preoccupied with a single visiting Guyanese?
Still, there is neither bite nor credibility whether Mr. Kwayana writes that “it is public knowledge that the PPP/C moved against academics at the University of Guyana and then dismissed some of them for life.” It follows the policy of “our academics” and “those other academics.” There are no academics, as such. In what ways are these (PPP/C) rulers better than those they succeeded (?)”, he inquires.
With a self-admitted “primary and high school” teacher status Mr. Kwayana cannot fail to  comprehend  that no academic has been assassinated (e.g. Dr Walter Rodney) or been maimed  for their entire lives (e.g. Dr Joshua Ramsammy)  or fired (e.g. Dr Mohamed Insanally) for unjustifiable causes under the PPP/C’s watch compared to what occurred under the PNC. Those are significant differences in today’s democratic Guyana with its free press.
Urging Buxtonians to destroy their roads while being in the midst of Linden ‘s death and disturbances certainly cannot be a flattering image to which any good American educational institution would be pleased when it employs the foreign-based national, Dr Hinds.
Yet while the university reportedly championed Dr Hinds’s right to free speech in America, it has no jurisdiction nor can it be held responsible to either defend or guarantee those rights in Guyana.
“All cannot be equal with some being more equal than others”, (George Orwell’s 1984) even when President Ramotar is also expected to comply.
Did anyone really expect Mr. Kwayana to be openly pointing a finger at APNU and its leaders? Why shouldn’t he?  Former PNC leader Mr. Robert Corbin did warn of “wild men in our midst”. Since Dr Hinds and that opposition party are at loggerheads what else does explain why they have rejected and abandoned him?
The proof of the pudding can only be in the eating. Guyanese cannot and must not be condemned constantly and forever by visits of racial violence, death, destruction doubts and divisions when democratic avenues are available. So what are we to expect   when Mr. Kwayana warns:”Look out Citizens….”
