May 14, 2017 Letters
Dear Editor,
Please allow me to reply to an article that appeared in the letters column in the Sunday Kaieteur News, May 7th, 2017 under the caption “This Regional Councillor was dismissed from Govt. services and charged”. MP Gill seems to be very, very upset after I stated in an article that was published in the newspapers that he was chosen as an MP from the left over votes of the last general elections. It is the truth Harry Gill, the scraped up votes are what makes you an MP. If that is not the truth then I am willing to publicly apologize to you.
Mr. Gill seemed to be so upset that he did not deal with the contents of my letter which were important. But Mr. Gill went on to lash out and attack me personally. Well, Mr. Gill I am not surprised because I know that people like you do not want to hear the truth and more over you know that I am a threat to the PPP by speaking out and representing the people no matter their race or political affiliations.
I will not attack your personal life but would like to ask you a few questions. Why did you still came back to live here, if it is that Guyana is so economically bad? What are the contributions you have made to developing Region 5? Why did you have to run from the country you so love, to return here? Why don’t you visit communities in Region 5 to listen to the residents? Why is it that you are always against development?
Mr. Gill, we all know that you do what you like best and that is why you were chosen as an MP (with the scraped up votes) above many others that struggled for your party. But because of the false news that you are spreading about people and feeding your superiors, you were chosen as an MP.
I will like to educate this MP that Ms. Wade was chosen as the APNU+AFC Regional Representative in Parliament because in this region the coalition only won one seat in Parliament. MP Wade is making us proud as our regional rep because she doesn’t take false news to anyone and she visits all villages in the region, not some. Mr. Gill, you denied to walk with me to see the development taking place in the region because of you selfish and negative attitude towards me. But yet when you turn up at regional events that you are invited to, you rush to shake hands, but I normally wait until you are about to and walk away. You know it.
Here is another challenge for you as a “scraped up votes MP.” Whenever the works committee is having their visits, ask them to go. In this way you will see the development and please take a camera and show the positives of Region 5. Maybe this MP is also upset because Region 5 is moving positively forward without the support of the PPP’s regional chairman who seems to be bent on negatives. Region 5 will see lots of development in 2017. So, Mr. Gill, you can continue to do what you do best that makes you an MP.
