Dear Editor,
President David Granger over the Easter weekend visited Region Six to distribute kites in two towns, Rose Hall and Corriverton, but surprisingly he decided to forget his recently purchased expensive fleet of vehicles to visit by helicopter.
The sudden change of transportation from ground to air transportation leaves many questions to be answered.
The President is afraid that protesters will picket him at the Berbice Bridge entrance so he decided to change his mode of transportation to enter Berbice. Unfortunately for him the protesters outsmarted him and picketed at Republic Square Corriverton where the kite distribution activity was held .
The protesters were there to welcome him in Region Six but was disgusted by his presence at this historic place where the worst incident in Guyana took place under his leadership.
On February 22, 2018 one of Granger ‘s Minister sof Government was instrumental in stopping a National event. The police even seized the National Flag because local democracy was at work.
As a so-called advocate of local democracy this was the President’s best chance to show the protesters and the people of Corriverton that he is not a dictator by apologising to the people of Corriverton and order the dismissal of the said minister in question.
The distribution of kites with Granger pictures pasted on them and the refusal to take the necessary action on a national issue is the confirmation that Granger believes in dictatorship which is here to stay.
