That broken destabilization record

Jun 28, 2019 Letters

06DEAR EDITOR,

As we await the final Conservatory Orders from the CCJ, I can’t help but notice the frenetic efforts by the opposition PPP/C to paint the APNU+AFC coalition as bad for Guyana. Please permit me a space in your newspaper to respond to a statement on freedom radio of June 26, 2019, where the speaker said that “Granger destabilizing our nation “
It is my belief that since assuming office in 2015, President David Granger’s stewardship of Guyana has brought Guyanese into a new era of greater social equality, inclusionary democracy and human safety which has brought unquestionable benefits to the Guyanese people in every walk of life from coastland to hinterland.
Guyana has made some significant progress under President David Granger’s stewardship. For example, on March 18, 2016, a mere 10 months after assuming office, the Coalition hosted Local Government Elections (LGE). This is after the absence of LGE for 22 years under the previous People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) regime. The establishment of new towns, neighbourhoods and the Local Government Commission, signifies the coalition government’s commitment to reinforcing local democracy, affording the right of citizens to elect their community leaders, giving power to the people to determine how services and resources that affect their lives are utilised.
When the PPP/C operatives talk about destabilization I’m left to wonder if they are talking about the same country in which I have resided for the past two decades. Since under this administration, we have never experienced drugs turf war and regular extrajudicial killings in the streets. Citizens are now able to express their democratic rights; views and concerns, even by protests, without being fearful of being victimized, assaulted, shot or jailed. This country is now stabilized under APNU/AFC coalition.
It is my belief that because of the achievements this government was able rack up within four years, the PPP/C is feeling embarrassed because they could not achieve this sort of stability that Guyanese now enjoy in their 23 years of misrule. So they continue with the broken record of destabilization. Why not work with the government towards making Guyana a better place for all, instead of misleading your supporters with lies and propaganda that “Guyana is being destabilized”. Look around you, where is the destabilization?

Sincerely yours,
Ceion Rollox
