Where do Guyanese get off?

Apr 21, 2015 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
It is really very sad to see so many people at the rallies of the PPP. One can only ask if these persons read the newspapers and listen to the news, because the PPP has been single-handedly responsible for their underdevelopment over the last 22 years.
The PPP has rundown the sugar industry, increasing the hardships of those dependent on the survival of sugar, impoverished those dependent on the rice sector by facilitating underpayment to rice farmers, guaranteed many children nationwide will have limited job opportunities as a result of the delivery of poor education nationwide, and generally has delivered poor infrastructure and management to their locales by withholding local government elections.
The PPP has been boasting about economic growth, but the real questions are, are workers better off, and where are the job creation and the delivery of higher paying job opportunities to improve our welfares? Have there been attempts to address corruption and misuse and mismanagement of our taxpayers’ dollars in government?  Are Guyanese satisfied with harbouring criminals within government whom the PPP have set above the law to perpetuate systematic abuse against us?
The answer to all of these questions is no. The PPP continues to lie and incite fear into its supporters as a means of diverting their attention to the party’s selfish plans to keep on bleeding our economy – the latest example being the revelations surrounding the fibre optic project.
Guyanese need to recognize that we are not born into political parties. Politics is about choosing a government capable of delivering on the major issues of welfare growth, justice, effective administration and governance, and the commitment to the elimination of corruption. And until we do this intelligently, we will continue to have the PPP perpetuate its abuses against us and misappropriate our tax dollars and other resources to their ill-gotten ends.
