Dear Editor,
Please permit me to respond to some of the allegations\misinformation that is being peddled by the opposition members on their weekly TV program here in Berbice. Over the past weeks the opposition has been lashing out at the AFC saying all sorts of things especially that the AFC is dead in Berbice. This information is erroneous. The opposition has been using all kind of language to suit their beliefs and to spread misinformation as usual, that members of the AFC are leaving the party at a rapid pace.
They use all kinds of negative things, so as to make the people, especially their supporters believe and feel comforted.
Well I can clearly say that the AFC in Region 5 is alive and kicking and its members are together. On Saturday 17th December, 2016, as member of the party, I took the initiative in organising an AFCs “Members and Friends Get Together” in Bath Settlement. The members of the AFC bravely attended that function, along with friends of the party.
This shows that members are not moving away from the AFC but in fact more are joining. Members came all the way from Mahaicony and Ithaca to be part of the event and interact with fellow members and friends. This shows that the opposition has been lying to the public, so as to make themselves and their supporters feel as if the AFC is losing it. It’s so shameful that the opposition can really twist the truth. It continues to peddle lies.
I strongly believe that they are doing this so as to cause doubts within the minds of members of the AFC here in Berbice. I must thank all the members of the AFC in Region 5 for their continued confidence in the party and for their support in making the AFC stronger.
I must applaud those that came to the event although it was kept in a village that the opposition claimed to own as theirs. I want to thank all the persons that have contributed toward the Region 5 AFC’s “Members and Friends Get Together.” Without your support this event could not have been a success. Thank you! I also want to thank the many friends of the AFC for attending. The AFC is alive and kicking In Region 5.
