Incontrovertible facts that cannot be ignored or wished away

May 06, 2014 Letters

 

DEAR EDITOR,
Mark Da Costa in his response published in the Stabroek News dated April 18, to my letter, has clearly indicated that he has an obsession with the PPP and its leaders.
This obsession is seen from his constant references to the late Dr. Jagan and then using the good name of Dr. Jagan to get at those who have not only joined the Party he founded, but over the years risen to leadership positions both at the level of the Party and Government.
Like his colleagues in the opposition, Mr. Da Costa sees skeletons in every cupboard. He seems utterly incapable of coming to terms with the fact that ordinary men and women can make it in life by virtue of hard work and application.
This is true of workers and farmers as it is of business people and those who hold public office.
For the benefit of Mr. Da Costa and those of his ilk, the economy of Guyana is not driven by narco-money and by recourse to corrupt practices and illegal means as Mr. Granger recently alleged. Guyana and by extension the Guyanese people are much better off today than before.
This is the Guyana that Dr. Jagan had wanted to see and for which he dedicated his entire life.
A Guyana where every Guyanese, regardless of race, religion or political affiliation, is provided with an opportunity to grow and develop as far as their ability and talent would allow.
Instead of being obsessive about the PPP and its leaders, Mr. Da Costa should try to enlighten himself about the tens of thousands of Guyanese who are today the proud owners of their own homes, vehicles and other consumer goods which they own by dint of hard work and taking advantage of the opportunity provided by the PPP/C Administration. For many, this is a dream come true, since under the PNC regime they never saw a way of owning a home and a car. These are some incontrovertible facts that cannot be ignored or wished away.
