Dear Editor,
Fed up with the opposition, Mr Norman Browne is concerned that “until David Granger and Khemraj Ramjattan stop their weak posturing, we may just roll into another election year to once again give the PPP a majority in the National Assembly.”
In fact Mr. Browne is very disturbed that all PNC leader Mr. David Granger seemingly does is “collect his pay as Opposition Leader, sounds and looks important, wear green which symbolizes militancy and talk a lot about Guyana and where it should be.”
Mr. Norman Browne wants justice for the three Linden deceased and injured others. Hopefully he would, like Home Affairs Minister Mr. Clement Rohee, be held responsible.
Mr. Browne does not offer any evidence why the Home Affairs Minister should be punished for upholding law and order nor does Mr. Browne explain why Lindeners must pay considerably less for electricity even as all other Guyanese nationwide pay a lot more.
In a letter to KN on 20-11-12 Mr. Browne feels “Granger and Ramjattan can do no more to disappoint.”
Should Mr. Browne also ignore the highway robbery of truckers and commuters, burning down of Linmine, setting ablaze the PPP/C branch office and the resulting violence which subsequently engulfed Agricola targeting peaceful commuters especially women and Indo Guyanese?
What Mr. Browne really wants is “for Nigel Hughes and Moses Nagamootoo to create an urgent political fever amongst the masses as if we are in an election year.
This must be sustained until we feel the winds of change beginning to gently brush against our bruised cheeks.” In other words Mr. Browne wants the AFC to again create similar Linden and Agricola type “fever” all over Guyana.
Didn’t the AFC deny previous complicity in any “fever” labeling it all lies? You better watch out, you better not cry, “Fever” (not Santa Claus) is coming to town.
By now everyone knows the priority by which the opposition wants any “doctor” overseeing the “medical” team to be urgently removed. “Rohee must go”. Without any effective “doctor” and “medical response” the population could succumb to future “fever epidemics” thus creating nationwide havoc.
One can therefore understand why Mr. Browne sincerely seeks Mr. Hughes to be President of Guyana one day. “Hughes gives me a lot of hope”.
In fact Mr. Hughes has every right to be President of Guyana like anyone else, shouldn’t he? But when Mr. Browne also concedes that “the PPP wins every time” he can defeat his own aspirations and that of Mr. Hughes.
Does Mr. Browne know of any plans of Mr. Hughes to join the PPP/C since they are winners? Doubtful isn’t it? With the PPP/C’s colossal failure to balance the armed forces and the PNC being led by a former soldier what does it say of their intentions?
Inevitably federalism will become the correct solution to ensure black people run their own affairs just as it would ensure others do the same. When race is viewed as the ultimate problem it must also be the final solution. Wasn’t the AFC born to solve the race problem?
Note when Mr. Moses Nagamootoo jumped from the PPP/C how enraged he was when he pledged to make it a sinking ship. It’s still afloat despite former President Bharrat Jagdeo’s neglect of the PPP base, party machinery, the aged and his coterie’s lavish lifestyles which mock the historical PPP and the Jagan’s legendary modesty, simplicity and incorruptibility.
The PPP/C still operates like it is unable to adjust to the lessons they were taught in 2011.
Examine PPP/C non wisdom in allowing respected former Speaker Mr. Ralph Ramkarran to just walk away. Is this the same PPP/C which also found Mr. Nagamootoo ambitions too unmanageable and undisciplined? Nevertheless, one can only be puzzled why Mr. Browne is now so infatuated that “Nagamootoo can bring some hope too.”
“I am through with Ramjattan and Granger. They can do no more to disappoint” a fed up Mr. Browne has already informed us.
Without a doubt Mr. Browne has made his agenda very clear: “the ball is in Hughes and Nagamootoo’s court. Maybe, we will have to start holding them accountable. Where potential is great, experience is not a problem. Where there is a will; these two men must now make a way.”
