The present situation has left us subject to continued and indiscriminate abuse

DEAR EDITOR,
Guyana’s present political dilemma, in which the country’s resources and its people are held ransom by the morally debased, inept and corrupt administration of the PPP is a tragic consequence of an endemic ignorance of the purpose and meaning of politics on the part of the populace.
Politics is the art/science of governing a country. It involves the mechanism for installing a government, the provision of laws and regulations to govern and secure society, and more importantly, the management and distribution the country’s resources to expedite development and the maintenance of a desired welfare standard for its citizens.
Guyana’s problems stem from three principal sources: a breakdown of law and order, or the distribution of justice, the inherently corrupt nature of PPP administration as demonstrated in its mismanagement and misappropriation of our financial and natural resources, and lastly, and most importantly, the destruction of our electoral process, the mechanism for the installation a new government.
I have previously addressed this issue, laying the blame squarely at the feet of the private sector, inclusive of all opposition parties, because it is the Private Sector which appoints the government, in this case the PPP, to manage and administer the country’s affairs.
Being accustomed to appointing our government democratically, we find ourselves confronted with a situation where the incumbent PPP, recognizing that it has failed in the administration of the country’s affairs, has forestalled its removal, and has forced itself upon Guyanese by destroying the mechanism for the review and appointment of an effective government, our electoral process.
Let me say this again. The current PPP administration has forced itself upon Guyanese by destroying our electoral process.
Using the trickery of prorogation installed into our Constitution expressly for the purpose of subverting our democratic process, it has now firmly ensconced itself in our offices of government, against our wishes, and is currently fiddling its way through the new management structure (by the elimination of the representatives of the people in the routine administration of our legislative/regulatory and resource management framework through Parliament) it has created.
It should be clear by now to all Guyanese that the present situation is unhealthy and has left us subject to continued and indiscriminate abuse by the current PPP administration as we seek to restore our democracy and effective management to our government.
Until we can break the grip of the PPP and restore this order, we will continue having justice perverted and our national wealth stolen under the facade of whatever lies and propaganda the PPP will have us believe, as it continues its business of robbing this nation.
The Private Sector – in this case meaning all Guyanese, excluding the PPP administration – is left at its own recognizance to restore order to government and the electoral process. We have no recourse to any law in our present situation. This aside, I have already stated and will continue to maintain that the PPP is host to criminal elements. It is therefore unfit to hold or retain government office now, and in future. It should be disqualified from the ballot.
