Cheddi Jagan had two possessions that dwarfed Jagdeo’s luxurious lifestyle

Mar 22, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
If the recent execution of Courtney Crum Ewing, the brazen comments made by controversial former President Jagdeo of his luxurious lifestyle being comparable to that of the late Dr Jagan and the denigration of Nadira Bracier, the Jagan’s daughter, in the Guyana Times, for defending her parents integrity, fails to galvanize the outrage needed to oust these sybarites from political office, it is difficult to see what will.
There seems to be no limits to which Mr. Jagdeo will not descend to sanctify and rationalize his ill-gotten gains. In so doing, every time he opens his mouth he plants his foot squarely in it. Mr. Jagdeo is no stranger to controversy but at this time the respectful and decent thing to do would have been to keep a still tongue and reminisce on all the positive achievements attributed to this great man as against his own abject failures. In the short time Dr. Jagan was President he engendered hope of healing old wounds and creating a brighter future for all Guyanese contrary to what obtains presently.
The only items Dr. Jagan possessed that dwarfed Mr. Jagdeo’s mansion and luxurious lifestyle were a heart large enough to encompass the struggles of the working class poor and disadvantaged and boots too large for Mr. Jagdeo to fill. Consequently, the psychological impact of his continued miserable failures and shortcomings took its toll and paranoia has now set in.
The Peoples Progressive Party Civic leadership should distance themselves from Mr. Jagdeo’s comments, demand an immediate apology and sideline Mr. Jagdeo from further participation in their election campaign, it is clear that he has made a mockery of Dr Jagan’s legacy and will continue his uncontrollable outburst if he is not reined in.
