There have been changes

May 24, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
How can we forget so quickly that when the People’s Progressive Party came into power in 1992 the now President of this land, the Hon Donald Ramotar, who was at the time General secretary of the P P P, shouted every day with a loud voice that one could have heard him from the Corentyne , to Mount Roraima that Democracy has returned to Guyana and that his party would stay in Government for more than twenty-eight years.
Now that he is our President I wonder if he was shouting ‘democracy or hypocrisy’ because young Mr Joey Jagan came on CNS Channel 6 and told the Guyanese people that he is going to support Uncle Donald because he is an honest person And he, Uncle Donald, promised him that he will be a President for all the people and would not support any wrongdoings.
Now I wonder if Joey saw things long before us and skipped the country because I heard that he is not even coming to the support of his good friend Mr C. N. Sharma, or is he denying knowing the man like how some denied knowing Roger Khan.
The old phenomenon that once gripped our nation is rearing its ugly head again. It is the race card. Is there no end to this? First it was the former President, Bharrat Jagdeo at the funeral service of one of our most distinguished and beloved sons of the soil. Then, his statement was supported by none other than our sitting President and further strengthened by the Home Affairs minister.
I once again call on the Chambers of Commerce, the Private Sector Commission, the Small Business Enterprise, The Catholic Church, The Anglican Church, The Muslim Organization, The Hindu Organization, and all other denominations to raise their voices, call on our political leaders to set a good example in order that we can live as our motto stipulates.
