Dear Editor,
One Ras Blackman has taken it upon himself to insinuate that I am a political operative of the Opposition because I rightly pointed out that Granger was wholly lacking in the vision required to move Guyana forward. Ras Blackman himself is obviously an apologist for the PNC-led Coalition and is quite content to skirt the real issues central to Guyana’s political and social advancement in favor of retaining what is so far turning out to be a grossly incompetent government on both the political and economic fronts.
Ras Blackman would be advised that far from being an operative for the Opposition, I find the politics of both the Peoples National Congress and the Peoples Progressive Party personally repugnant, and destructive to Guyana’s political and economic progress. I intend to establish a political party to contest the 2020 elections to offer Guyanese the opportunity to reclaim their country and take control of their future.
