Dear Editor,
The PPP Civic had an opportunity to establish what they considered the best way forward for Guyana over the last 23 years. However, in the last General Elections the electorate voted for a change and as a result we have a new Government. It is my view that this new Government should be given an opportunity to establish and pass the principals and objectives it promised the electorate if it were put in power.
However, whenever I look at the daily newscasts, every time the Secretary for the PPP Civil holds a press conference I get the impression that everything this new Government attempts to do is wrong, and that the only persons who know what is right for the people of Guyana is the PPP Civic.
Sometimes the views expressed are so ridiculous that one would attribute them to an uneducated or literate. For example, the Secretary has expressed that he is in support of a Commission of enquiry for the Death of the Minister of Agriculture who was murdered during the Jagdeo Administration. The reason given that the (the Secretary) knows is former Minister of Home Affairs states that the Police know who did the killing.
I consider the statement to be absolutely disrespectful to the intelligence of the people of Guyana.
What the PPPC seems to be doing is trying to create obstacles so as to distract the present Government from proceeding with what it has promised to do and engage in all these matters raised. So at the end of this New Government’s term nothing much would be achieved.
I am not saying that this present Government ought not to take cognizance of what the PPPC is saying and doing. But at the same time please do not allow yourself to be diverted by falling into the trap the PPPC is constantly designing. Jonas M. Coddett Attorney-at-Law
