Reversing a critical trend

Mar 27, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
In the immortal words of former Leader of the Minority, Opposition Leader and late President of Guyana, Cheddi Jagan, “Things are happening but for whom?” in Guyana.
Ashni Singh has just presented his umpteenth budget. This latest one is a record $208.8 billion. But where have they all taken Guyana and Guyanese?
Do the measures at easing the tremendous tax burden on the poor and the needy in Guyana go far enough? And the resounding answer is no!
The Superstructure of the PPP/C Cabal is unchanging and unrelenting . The fact of the matter is that were it not for the yearly, legally submitted remission of over US$400 million by the patriotic Guyanese in the diaspora the poor and the needy would starve within Guyana.
As hopeless as the former “Hope budgets were in the past” the Ashni Singh current budget takes the cake for its milieu of hopelessness for the poor and the needy of Guyana.
The eternal promise of motherland Guyana is its potential “El Dorado”. Hope can spring eternal at the next Congress of the ruling party, the PPP, in August 2013 at Port Mourant if and when the present membership of the party retakes control of the agenda and leadership of the once great and mighty PPP away from the unpatriotic, despotic, hedgemonistic, self-aggrandising Jagdeo clique.
In 1985 the Hoyte faction of the PNC unravelled the Burnhamite entrenched faction and put Guyana on the road to recovery.
The current membership of the PPP can repeat that singular feat within the party and return Guyana to its developmental, but not its ideological Jaganite agenda
Each and every delegate assigned to 30th Congress must arm himself with the motto: Start by doing what is necessary; Then do what is possible;
And then suddenly you are doing the impossible…St Francis of Assisi.
