The PPP Congress will not change anything

Jul 26, 2013 Letters

 

Dear Editor,
By any measure, Guyana should have been a prosperous country because of its huge assets in natural resources, but it has been plagued by a series of man-made problems. Most of these problems have occurred during the last twelve years under the maladministration of the Jagdeo/Ramotar cabal.
During this period the crime rate quadrupled, illegal trafficking of narcotics increased tenfold, corruption skyrocketed and the nation’s security has collapsed. Instead of addressing these issues, the cabal has turned its full attention to the Congress where fluff and propaganda will be used to fool supporters into believing that the country is progressing.
But the youths will have none of it much less the ordinary man in the street who continues to struggle to make ends meet.
Congress will not change the direction of the PPP because it will be the leaders and not the delegates who will have the last say. Those who expect significant changes from the Congress will be disappointed because the delegates are there to rubber stamp what the leadership wants.
The Congress is not going to address the issue of corruption, crimes or any issue that would embarrass the PPP  cabal. A large number of supporters are outraged at those who have used the state resources to enrich themselves, relatives and friends or to practise nepotism, but their voices will be drowned out at the Congress. Simply put, the PPP Congress will not change anything.
Dr. Asquith Rose and Harish S. Singh
