The GCCI began this level of disrespect we are now seeing against our President

Nov 05, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
The level of gross disrespect demonstrated against the nation’s President in Parliament on Thursday is tragically profound.
With this single act, the PPP has laid bare its intentions of sabotaging all semblances of a return to common decency and the rule of law in this nation.
However, unfortunately for the vast majority of wider Guyanese political observers, this debased crassness of the PPP’s behavior came as a surprise. Readers would recall that it was only a few months ago that the PPP’s dominated business organ – the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce & Industry (GCCI) launched its Business Guyana magazine at a high profile reception at the Georgetown Marriot, At the time, the President of the GCCI, Deodat Indar choose to deliberately insert his photo and message ahead of President Granger in the newly launched business magazine. Many may have missed the symbolism of this arrogant act of gross disrespect towards the President personally and the Office of the Presidency but this subtle yet vulgar act gave a resounding indication as to the intended direction of the PPP in the lead up to 2020.
The PPP are desperate. They are facing irrelevance like no other period in their history. The party’s politburo is very well aware of this and they are gripped with panic every time they gaze into their crystal balls. As a result, with Jagdeo as their leader, their natural response is to cater to Jagdeo’s renowned vulgarity and head into the political and racial gutter, get nasty. For one moment do not doubt that Indar’s subtle ‘slip’ with the GCCI’s magazine represented a PPP rehearsed test run in shameless vulgarity, disrespect and rejection of protocol to President Granger, the morally decent Guyanese people and the preservation of a moral barometer in this country..
The months ahead will provide interesting theater for political observers but my wise counsel to the PPP would be to get rid of Jagdeo now or face the very looming reality of a crumbling empire built on evil and corruption.
