Ramkarran is a sad shadow of what he used to hold himself out to be

Jul 11, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
I note former PPP member Ralph Ramkarran joining with the likes of Hamilton Green, Cristopher Ram, Freddie Kissoon, Mark Benschop, the AFC and PNC’s APNU to write an article in a bitter tone that he has become known for. He condemns the approach taken by the executive in addressing the outright meddling and unprofessional and undiplomatic behaviour that was the conduct of the US Ambassador. He contends that if Cheddi had to deal with the matter he would have picked up the phone first and tried to resolve same.
It is sad that the goodly gentleman didn’t learn anything from Cheddi. For if he, Ramkarran had picked up the phone and called any number of persons including his own brother who is Guyana’s Ambassador to the US, Ramkarran would have learnt that Brent Hardt’s unacceptable behaviour was indeed discussed with him behind closed doors numerous times. Ramkarran would have learnt that despite those discussions behind closed doors the Ambassador continued to flout diplomatic norms and conventions and that this culminated in the Ambassador denigrating and openly condemning the President of Guyana, the General Secretary of the PPP and the PPP/C Government. This was the latest of the Ambassador’s folly to which the Government appropriately responded.
I think that Ramkarran has become a sad shadow of what he used to hold himself out to be. Imagine instead of him writing sense likened to the writings of Justice Duke Pollard and Dr. Henry Jeffrey on the matter, he chooses to write sentiments similar to Hamilton Green and Freddie Kissoon. He is causing those of us who thought he may have been badly treated in his quest to be President of this country to be glad that other folks were wiser, saw through him and turned him down.
