Misusing the one-seat majority

Nov 30, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
The power-thirsty opposition must explain to Guyanese why it is misusing its one-seat majority to create a gridlock and stalemate in Parliament. Vice-Chairman of the Alliance for Change Moses Nagamootoo is being faithful to his role to distort and misrepresent the truth as he tries to abdicate the AFC of blame and responsibility for the despicable situation that obtains in Parliament.
What is taking place there is part of a carefully orchestrated plan between APNU and AFC to stymie and destabilize the work of the Government. The opposition has convinced itself it is capable of distracting the Government from pursuing its developmental plans and objectives without taking into consideration that any such distraction, if successful, would be to the disadvantage of Guyanese.
The opposition-led unrests in Linden and Agricola are no mistaken plans as these events confirm to the opposition agenda to slow-down the paste of development. By the very acts of those who instigated and staged these unrests, the Government now has to spend time and energy on rebuilding infrastructure that existed before.
The only reason gridlock and stalemate exist in Parliament today is because of the combined opposition, APNU and AFC. Nagamootoo and his colleague architects of this confrontational, non-progressive type politics are aware that their actions have the potential to stymie and slow-down national development, but instead they opted for negative path.
Again Nagamootoo is true to form in his claims that the AFC was successful in exposing corruption within the Government, when the records will show that the opposition has not been able to successfully point to one case, with supporting evidence of corruption.
In their corruption campaign, quite the opposite was revealed as people were coming forward with evidence of AFC leaders’ involvement in practices of corruption and conflict of interest. There are many cases involving allegations of Nagamootoo himself double-charging for the relocation of residents for the construction of the Berbice-River Bridge.
The corruption campaign by the opposition was used as a platform for their grandstanding as they were unable to come forth with anything solid. The NCN Debate Series on Corruption provided them with an opportunity to prove their case to the nation but instead being unable to do so, they turned their argument into right and wrong approaches. This is the dishonesty Nagamootoo and others in the AFC continue to support. They blah! Blah! Blah! all the time. As we speak, the opposition is busy meeting trying to engineer its next confrontation with the Government, while the Government is busy pursuing its development objectives, fulfilling its manifesto promises and moving along the economy.
The PPPC Administration will not be distracted by the relentless negativity of the opposition.
