President Ramotar has an undisputed title he needs to give up

Dec 01, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
It is now one year since the election of President Ramotar, but after a most careful and comprehensive analysis of his performance to date, it is absolutely clear that he has under-performed.
His party’s entire strategy to rule over the people of Guyana rests on three facets;
·  A willingness to service their vested business interests at the expense of the economic and social interest of the poor and the working class.
That is why an illegality can be legalized retroactively and errant contractor on the Amaila Falls road can benefit millions. It is all about the Ponzi schemes that fettered away billions of dollars of the people’s money into the pockets of their close business buddies and family members;
·  A willingness to break any rule of law to entrench their perceived majority when the reality as instructed by the people is that they are a minority Government. To allow these acts of political shoplifting to continue will result in their attempts to impose their way on the 10th Parliament, despite the direct wishes of the people.
·  Continuing to use the race card and individual fear to reward those in their favour and punish those who oppose them.
It is these three selfish acts that constitute the sum total of why the Jagdeo/Ramotar regime cannot and will not do what Cheddi Jagan has set out to do, that is, to serve and protect the poor and the working class.
History has taught us that the business class is strong enough to take care of its interest but the poor and the working class need the protection and support of a Government as a facilitator to make their migration into the middle and upper class a reality. The evidence over the last decade reveals that this administration has ignored their calls for fairness and the equitable distribution of the state resources.
2012 is about to end and after one year in office, Ramotar has earned the title as the undisputed ‘do nothing president’. We remain hopeful that he will give up that title in 2013.
