Ramson is eligible but there is a caveat

Jul 07, 2018 Letters

Dear Editor,
Allow me a small space to voice frustration with hate-mongers of society, specifically to address an article in Kaieteur News, Thursday, June 28, “Ramson signals desire to be PPPC presidential candidate” and a letter in Friday’s Edition, June 29, p. 4, “Charles Ramson through the eyes of someone else.”
Based on current and past leaders of Guyana, no doubt Charles Ramson is qualified to be President and the country needs vision in order to go forward. For example, the majority sitting Members of Parliament are not qualified to represent the people of Guyana, but they are very good at representing themselves, families and friends in terms of lining their coffers.
First, allow me to interject that I will never vote for a PPPC candidate or anyone affiliated with the PPPC, as they are the best thieves, criminals, manipulators, and leaders of corruption.
Secondly, the sitting government whom I voted for is a group of followers lacking vision or leadership and are blind and deaf, just a repeat of the PPPC. Society should not be blinded that the sitting government has support of the ABC countries, simply because the PPPC perverted the entire country, and Ramson is smart enough to be able to captivate the nation’s younger votes and bridge the horrendous racism issues that is so ever present.
In all sense of fairness it is beyond doubt Charles Ramson is qualified to be President of Guyana. In the June 28th article, Ramson has laid out an impressive background: a lawyer for 10 years, a strong link to the Bar Association and Georgetown Chamber of Commerce Industry, almost 10 years as a PPPC member and holds leadership position, worked at Office of the Presidency, an expert in oil and gas, as well as other qualifications.
He also compared himself with several of the most powerful men in the world, including former President of the United States Barack Obama. Ramson needs telling the people what his visions are and how he will achieve his agenda whereby he is correct to note, “We need a candidate who represent the future but who does not have baggage.”
On the other hand, Ramson failed to realize that he has enormous baggage through his affiliation with the PPPC.
Turning to Dr. Mark Devonish’s letter which I enjoyed reading (and who resides in the United Kingdom) that letter could only be viewed as a sense of hate against Ramson, for indiscretions while at Queen’s College, as youngsters.
Quoting Dr. Devonish, “I last saw Charles on 31St December 2017… I just do not think he has the character to be president,” and Dr. Devonish closed with, “He is too arrogant, obnoxious, and petty.” A reading of the letter is clear that Ramson’s indiscretions were as a student while at QC.
Dr. Devonish has had no contact for some time and he also failed to indicate if Ramson’s behaviour has continued as such today. Tell me one young man growing up who did not possess chutzpah or arrogance.
Furthermore, not all behavioral indiscretions are chronic and Ramson should not be judged because of his ambitions or what his perceived behaviour was like as a teenager. Without reservation, Charles Ramson is qualified to be President, but he will not secure my vote (as long as he is a PPPC candidate).
