Journalist’s desperate plea for the PPP to pay him for work done

Nov 05, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
The People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) did immense work in the Berbice area during the last election campaign which ended in May. Work began as early as January with a series of television programmes on various TV stations in Berbice which dealt with interviews of Ministers and other senior leaders of the party. The party subsequently won the region with a sweeping majority. However, sadly, to date, the party still owes persons who were involved in those TV programmes as well as some TV stations. Mr. Editor, every avenue to gain the attention of the party to this issue has been met with little or no serious attention, like just being brushed aside.
The matter of the party’s due to these programmes was brought to the attention in person to the Leader of the Opposition. Freedom House is fully aware of these concerns as numerous calls and letters were sent to the senior party officials, yet nobody is saying anything as to the way forward for payments.
I am kindly asking the Opposition Leader to seriously look into this matter. It is not fair that after so many months after elections would have passed that these accounts have not been settled. I am very disappointed too in the manner in which the party is dealing with this matter; as nobody is ever available to talk or to meet with. I personally have reached out to Mr. Jagdeo while he was in Berbice in October and delivered more letters and invoices at his request in hand to PPP Executive Secretary, Mr. Zulfikar Mustapha.
The TV stations too in New Amsterdam are calling for this matter to be urgently addressed. Please publish this letter so that the leaders can give some serious consideration to our concerns. Expressing the matter here in these columns was a last resort, because I have tried utmost times to make contact with senior party leaders but nobody is ever available to talk to you. That is really not nice and that is not the way the PPP should treat its supporters.
Leon Suseran
