Dear Editor,
It is no secret that the concerns raised by Charrandass Persaud against the APNU/AFC Coalition Government is factual and as such defined the performance of this government.
Some of these concerns raised by the supporter of the motion was, the issue of the sugar workers and the closure of two sugar estates in Berbice l think was keyed. Since Charrandass Persaud was a Regional Member of Parliament, Region Six, he was mandated by the people to represent his constituency.
Berbice is suffering tremendously from the policies of this APNU/AFC coalition Government .The people who operate the businesses were left with little or no alternative but to send home employees in large numbers.
The rice industry was not given the necessary support from the government to accelerate its performance to reach the promised price of $9000 dollars per bag of paddy and maximising production.
The creation of jobs for young people and even person who did not had jobs and was promised to be employed by the government, unfortunately it was total destruction of a number of sugar workers who was severed.
The Government solutions of employment was mainly the employing elderly, friends, families and supporters of the People National Congress as was confirmed in a statement by the Chairperson of the PNC. Corruption is another major issue that the no confidence motion highlighted in parliament. So with these issues and more the APNU/AFC Coalition Government at some point in time would have fallen.
The APNU/AFC Coalition Government refusal to resign from government is a definite reminder that the DNA enshrined in the PNC is slowly but surely emerging to ensure that they stay in power irrespective of what it takes. Over the years, I think the most destructive weapon that was available and used by the PNC was violence before 2015.
The arguments fronted by the Government is a vivid sign of desperation. Majority of Guyanese would demand that the APNU/AFC Government resign before losing all their credibility if they have any remaining.
Respect
