“Unmatched” response to Robin Singh
DEAR EDITOR,
I respond to Robin Singh’s letter about President David Granger (Kaieteur News 7/10/2019) “This level of ‘unbothered’ by a President is unmatched”). I would like to ask him too isn’t he bothered about the estates that were closed by the PPP? Shouldn’t he too be upset about the little Sita, Simone, Lall and Paul, children whose parents worked on the estates and either could no longer go to school or went to school hunger? Did he ever ask Mr. Bharrat Jagdeo why he closed the estates in Diamond and LBI and left thousands out of work?
What of the bauxite industry where thousands of workers were sent home and thousands lost their pension. Did Mr. Singh ask the government of Mr. Bharrat Jagdeo and Mr. Irfaan Ali if they weren’t bothered about this impact cause in the bauxite community and to the lives of those workers children?
Mr. Singh don’t let us spend time on a photo op by the president, tell us how you feel that then President Jagdeo flew to Florida to get treatments for ‘belly wuk’ (diarrhoea)? The average citizen couldn’t even afford to travel to a hospital, they would have boiled green guava and drink to treat their ‘belly wuk’.
Then President Jagdeo spent US $250 million on the Skeldon Factory. This money was bigger than the National Budget. That factory never worked but Guyanese have to repay that loan.
Mr. Singh, how do you feel that during the government of Bharrat Jagdeo and Irfaan Ali, Transparency International deemed Guyana the most corrupt English speaking Caribbean country?
What about the school boy who was locked up for sticking his finger up in the air at the then President Jagdeo who was driving pass him in the motorcade?
What of the little Thomas who genitals were mutilated when he was in the care of the police at Leonora Police station.
Have you Mr. Singh asked Mr. Jagdeo and Mr. Ali how they feel about these things?
Don’t you think their level of wasteful spending, cruelties and insensitivities remain unmatched?
Yours sincerely,
B. Beniprashad Rayman
