This PPP leader has been bowled all over the place

Jan 06, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,
I read General Secretary Rohee’s respond to my letter which was in itself a response to his public statement that the PPP/C had not been invited to participate in the preparation for, and celebration of, the 50th Jubilee. In all that he has said there is no refuting that an invitation was sent and that there has been no response. He seeks to claim that he never received such an invitation but I never claimed to have sent one to him. He built a straw house demolished it then attributed its existence to me.  The letter was send to the Leader of the Opposition, albeit to Freedom House where they received and signed for it. In his press conference his reference was not to ‘him’ not being in receipt of an invitation. It was to ‘them’ presumedly the PPP/C, the Opposition, not being invited.
He failed to prove that the letter was not sent but implicitly acknowledged that there was no response. In similar vein he acknowledged that the letter re UG Council which was also addressed to the Leader of the Opposition and delivered to Freedom House had been acted upon, while callously stating that “If that decision was not communicated to the relevant authority well that’s another matter”, how competent!
In his opening salvo, Rohee talks about incompetence with a broad brush and not an iota of evidence. That’s another example of the “politricking” that I referred to in my previous letter.
In cricketing parlance, Rohee has spun, been stumped and bowled all over the place.
He spun on the question of to whom the letter was addressed. He was stumped through the exposure of his spinning and he was bowling all over the place. One time it is apparently incompetent to send a letter to  the Leader of the Opposition thru Freedom House but a similar letter was received and acted on, and a third letter which was never addressed to him has not been received by him, as if it was intended to be received by him. There are no clarifications in Rohee’s letter but the address of the Leader of the Opposition has been noted.
Rohee’s letter is an instructive lesson in Guyanese politics.
