Dear Editor,
Guyanese should recognize that the PPP have realized that they have lost the people and are now employing scare tactics, all of which are unfounded, as a means of taking attention away from their corruption, incompetence, and the Coalition’s own message of better government, governance, equality of opportunity and the push for social and economic progress through investment, job creation and higher wages.
David Granger has character and integrity with which the PPP is unable to compare. Granger, since 1992 demonstrated industriousness and a desire to rely on his talents and abilities to support himself and his family by starting the Guyana Review in 1992. The PPP cannot accuse him of corruption or racketeering as a means of generating his assets, something over which the PPP itself is charged and finds impossible to dispute.
Granger is a writer, intellectual, and soldier at heart, someone committed to defending Guyana against threats, both external and internal, to Guyana’s security and stability.
And there can be little doubt in the minds of Guyanese that the PPP’s government of corruption and self-enrichment schemes, its manipulation of the judicial system and its wholesale squandering and mismanagement of taxpayers’ money on projects like the floating wharf, the overpriced airport project and the recent Marriott spending spree, present a clear and present danger to Guyana’s social and economic stability.
On the busted wharf, the PPP swore that Guyanese would foot the bill for its crony’s incompetence, with the additional cost being close to $100 million, or around 20% of the original cost. Today, mansions have been built by the PPP with money whose source Guyanese have yet to figure out.
Guyanese are therefore urged to disregard the PPP’s terror tactics and wait patiently for May 11 to vote for their future. Craig Sylvester
