Jagdeo’s house is likely worth more than the $360M the PPP promises Amerindian Development Fund
Dear Editor,
The PPP and its Amerindian lackeys and window dressers must think Amerindians are fools, idiots and jokers. $360 million for an Amerindian Development Fund over a prolonged period is a cruel joke. Bharrat Jagdeo’s house and land at Pradoville is worth more than $360 million. Yes, the same Jagdeo who got arguably the most expensive real estate in Guyana at $5 million an acre when remigrants are being sold less than a quarter acre for $7 million. How could these PPP vagabonds give $360 million to the poorest and most marginalized ethnic group in Guyana, the overwhelming majority of whom are living in dire poverty and think this is okay when some within the PPP have profited by ripping off this country for far more than $360 million? What is a miserly $360 million going to do to correct hundreds of years of economic sterilization, marginalization, exclusion and denial of the Amerindian people? Only an uncaring no-good government gives an insulting $360 million to an ethnic group that is furthest in the economic hole in an already bitterly poor country. Even worse, this is an ethnic group that supported the PPP. This is how they repay them, by insulting them. Even after the fallout of the Isseneru land case, these PPP charlatans have the gumption to pull this contempt and mockery of the proud Amerindian people. It tells of the derisive mentality within the PPP.
The crooks will collect up to US$250 million from Norway with the rainforest agreement. Yet they are giving Amerindians a pathetic and measly $360 million (US$1.8 million)? They are spending US$50 million on a Marriott hotel in the hope it fattens a few investors but refuse to treat Amerindians who comprise 9.2% of the population with any decency. $360 million to over 75,000 Amerindians is a rudely insulting $4800 per person. The PPP has already mistreated Amerindians over that land dispute at Isseneru. It further demeans them with this slap in the face of an Amerindian Fund. The PPP wants to call a snap election or local government elections and it decides it will do just like Columbus, Cortes and Pizarro by tricking and insulting Amerindians into taking their votes. This is why they launched this nauseous adventure called the Amerindian Development Fund. It is nothing but an attempt to hoodwink Guyanese and Amerindian people. The PPP continues its economic prostitution of the Amerindian people with this farce. And it wonders why Amerindians have completely left the PPP. Amerindians, run from these rogues, run as fast as you could.
