Dear Editor,
In my letter captioned “Jagdeo should give Granger the benefit of the doubt” I have stated that President David Granger has positive character attributes which give him strength of character.
So, what are some of these positive character attributes.
Generosity, humility, kindness, patience, tolerance, compassion, love, mercy, modesty etc. These are called virtues.
While I do not wish to suggest that President David Granger is a paragon of virtue as I am sure, like most of us, he has his faults, I would also like to point out that Cheddi Jagan also had positive character attributes (virtues).
The point I am trying to make here is that since Cheddi Jagan’s death the PPP/C (of which I am a supporter) has been listless to the point that it has become self deluding and self destructive. This can only have happened because of certain individual/s in the PPP/C who are selfish. One man, in particular, built himself a mansion while Guyanese suffered. Yet, the PPP/C saw it fit to give such a person unheard of “ retirement benefits”. This is selfishness to which Cheddi Jagan and President David Granger do not ascribe to (that is, President David Granger and Cheddi Jagan are not selfish people).
The PPP/C needs to rid itself of such people, whether they are Leader of the Opposition or not, so that it can become a political party that all Guyanese can be proud of again. Sean Ori
