The Granger Administration is practicing ethnic preferences

Jun 16, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
I have noticed an increased assault against the Guyanese people by the Granger administration. Do they really think they can develop all of Guyana by cutting out 70% of the people from the decision-making process and get away with it? Socially, economically and politically, if they are not aware, Guyana has retrogressed, and have they not observed that a collective fight back using all the tools at the people’s disposal has begun?
This fight back does not need guns; it needs leadership, mobilization, and consciousness. It has now gotten that, and slowly but surely at the village level the collective fightback has started to gain traction. It is only a matter of time that the masses in a peaceful way coalesce against these forces of oppression led by the Granger administration. The collective voice of the people is more powerful than all the armies in the world.
What has happened to that tradition from 1966 to create one nation with one destiny? These people in the Granger Team speak of Burnham morning, noon and night, but they are not committed to anything that Burnham represented. Burnham wanted to mould a nation and what is happening in 2017 is certainly not how you mould a nation. From my reading of history, all the presidents of Guyana before President Granger were committed to moulding the nation. Today the evidence is there to prove that we have a real situation of ethnic bias under the Granger administration.
As an example, look at the 16 Permanent Secretaries in the Granger Government. Fifteen of them are from one race and these facts cannot be washed away (see below).

Where is the balance? Where is the fairness?
The social cohesion damage to this nation has to be repaired or else this breach will become impossible to seal. Or is this really what the political extremists in the PNC want; a split nation?
Let the record show that for all of our 51 years as a politically independent nation, these last 12 months during 2016/2017 have been the worst at fostering national unity and social cohesion. Is this what Granger wants to be remembered for?
Finally, where is the voice of the AFC Ministers; the so-called liberal democrats? Has ruthless ambition replace moral conviction?
