Dear Editor,
During the turbulent sixties the late Peter Stanislaus D’ Aguiar is quoted as saying “the masses are the asses” after failing to penetrate the strongholds of the P.N.C (People’s National Congress) and the PPP (People’s Progressive Party) that could have catapult him to the highest office of the land. But today the PPP/C with the ‘Cuss Down Macaw” and the “Goat AINT BITE MEH MAN” at the helm appears stuck in this “Masses are the Asses” theory as they continue their propaganda mission contradicting themselves and misleading their supporters.
When the announcement of the closure of the Wales Estate came, the PPPC said that the closure of Wales Estate is an attack on the economic base of their supporters. Is not this, the same PPP that had closed down the Diamond Estate and La Bonne Intention Estate?
There is no doubt that Wales Estate was functioning at a loss and even an elementary student in economics would tell you that the object of running a business is to make a profit as well as to raise the standard of living. The cost of production of sugar in Guyana has made Guyana’s sugar incompetent on the world market as regards price.
When the PPPC lost the May 2015 elections they cried “CHEATED BUT NOT DEFEATED” and even protest in front of GECOM, but to the dismay of the populace their leader admitted in December 2015, that the PPPC lost the election because of arrogance and complacency. The PPPC must stop opposing for the sake of opposing or put up and shut up, stop taking the support of your supporters for granted and contradicting themselves. Brent Griffith
