Dear Editor,
I read Mr. Peter Persaud’s letter which applauds the granting of the Norway funds. In his missive, Peter mentioned the ‘detractors’ who were against this plus for the Amerindians, and proceeded to name them. Poor Peter had the gumption to say that The Amerindian Movement of Guyana (TAAMOG) supports the Government’s initiative. Mr. Editor, I wish to ask through this medium – how many members comprise TAAMOG? I know of only two – the (dis)honourable President and his Secretary.
Also, it comes as no surprise that Peter Persaud would want to push this line to us the readership. He is just ‘singing for his supper’. He does that very well – ask a major timber company.
To quote the late poet Martin Carter, “A mouth is always muzzled by the food it eats to live.” Amused reader
