DEAR EDITOR,
I appreciate the philosophical attempt at a response by National Chairman Mr. Christopher Jones MP, to my letter in the daily newspaper, but I am a pragmatist living in a real world. The fact is that the intellectual authors for the decision to remove Ms. Vanessa Kissoon MP, in such a callous and disrespectful manner, causing her some degree of public humiliation, chose the route of a public brawl. If the mechanisms, boasted of by Mr. Jones, were fully exhausted then there will not have been some much anxiety among the party’s support base on this and other issues.
I have never been and have no intention of joining a secret society or to exercise passive membership and/or affiliation to any organisation. The time for that old axiom of “washing dirty laundry in public” is to be abandoned. The People’s National Congress Reform is a mass-based public institution and the alternative government of Guyana, thus must appreciate public scrutiny for it achievements and misgivings.
The GYSM is the leadership incubator of the People’s National Congress Reform, therefore its leaders and members must be treated equally and with respect and at the same time they must stand up for what they believe in. This is not the time for postulations and empty rhetoric, but a time, as National Chairman, to recognize the blunder and disrespect by the leaders and speak out against it on a matter of principle.
