PPP propagandists must be exposed for their distortions

Oct 30, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
In response to one Mr. Harry Hergash, we do not have much to say except that we are happy to know that he is unable to dispute the facts outlined in our letter about the PNC achievements which speak to Dr. Rose’s credibility.
No sane Guyanese can deny what the PNC has achieved except the abnormal minds in the PPP who Mr. Hergash supports. His letter is confusing and leaves us to wonder about his fishing expedition.
From his few letters, we already know that he is a mouthpiece for the PPP and uses the party’s propaganda and untruths to distort the facts. If Mr. Hergash is credible and wants us to take him seriously, he should address the massive corruption and bribery that are taking place right under his nose and at every level of the PPP government?
His inquiry as to why Dr. Rose changes parties is beyond silly to say the least. Mr. Hergash should know that unlike him, Dr. Rose is an independent thinker who is free to change his mind whenever he wants. Who gave Mr. Hergash the right to question any decisions Dr. Rose makes or who is he to tell Dr. Rose what to do?
Mr. Hergash who is a staunch supporter of the PPP is not happy about the many achievements of the PNC, especially when these are made public because he and others have used the PPP playbook and propaganda to tell their supporters that the PNC did absolutely nothing for Guyana.
For the record the PNC is responsible for the construction of the Demerara Harbor Bridge, the Canje Bridge, the Soesdyke-Linden highway, the Corentyne highway, the widening of the East Coast highway to Plaisance (Rupert Craig highway) the UG Campus at Turkeyen, the President’s College, Critchlow Labour College, Guyana School of Agriculture, the National Cultural Center, the National Park, the Bank of Guyana, and the Presidential Complex, among others.
In addition, the PNC provided free university education at UG and established the Caribbean regional exam-CXC, the National Service, Guyana Airways Corporation and four new municipalities at Corriverton, Rose Hall Town, Linden, and Anna Regina. The trump card of the PNC achievements was the establishment of CARIFTA in 1973, the forerunner of CARICOM and Guyana as the first Cooperative Republic.
By comparison, the PPP regime has not achieved one tenth of what the PNC has accomplished but has spent more than ten times the amount of the PNC.
The PPP built the Berbice Bridge, the National Stadium, the UG campus at Tain, on the Corentyne and widened of the East Bank Demerara Public road. In the midst of this, the party has also built three white elephants—the sugar factory at Skeldon that has cost the taxpayers over US$230 million and is still not working properly, the Enmore sugar packaging plant which remains idle, and the dilapidated Supenaam stelling which has collapsed more than three times in two years.
And they are in the process of squandering billions more on two more white elephants—the dried-up Amalia Falls and the unfinished Marriott Hotel—all of which have cost the taxpayers billions of dollars. These are the facts which Mr. Hergash admits are indisputable and should make them known to his PPPites who after 21 years in office continue to blame the PNC for corruption and the high crime rate.
We want to educate Mr. Hergash to the fact that Dr. Rose was never a registered member of any political party in Guyana, not the AFC, PNC or worst yet, not Hergash’s corrupt PPP and the records are there to prove that.
Dr. Asquith Rose and Chandra Deollal, Esq.
