Response to Tacuma Ogunseye and Eusi Kwayana
Dear Editor,
Allow me Editor to express my solidarity with SN and Guyana Times in your fight to regain taxpayer funded ads for your publication. In a democracy, Freedom of the Press is sacrosanct and must not be trifled with. I hope this issue is resolved soon.
Editor, Both Mr. Tacuma Ogunseye (SN .11-14-2019) and Mr. Eusi Kwayana ( SN..11-15-19.) have sought to turn the spotlight on the PPP and what the two gentlemen believe are wrongs it may have committed in relation to Dr Walter Rodney.This clever attempt is a reaction to Ms Gail Teixeira ‘s (SN 11-10-19) accusations that the WPA and its leaders have betrayed Dr Rodney’s legacy by coalescing with the PNC. What has been obvious to those who observe Guyanese politics is the WPA’s lying in bed with the PNC. And there is nothing that can change the truth that the PNC is the WPA’s nowadays best friend.
One point the Rodney Inquiry laid bare is that Mr. Kwayana was not privy to certain information.
In fact, there were three members of the WPA’s Defence Committee. Apart from Dr Rodney the other two were Dr Rupert Roopnarine and Mr. Ogunseye.. Dr Rodney being dead and Dr Roopnarine having revealed that the WPA was accumulating arms why has Mr. Ogunseye remained silent up to this day?
Should Mr. Kwayana admit that the WPA was in arms build up mode he would have to explain why he was supporting the shooting of African Guyanese in the armed forces. Denial is a manufactured way out.
Admitting he was not always privy to sensitive information is his best way out but it would tarnish his stature in the WPA.
It must not be forgotten that the arms build up was to fight the PNC government of the day. Moreover Dr Roopnarine has never retracted his charges of a WPA arms build-up, even as he sits in the coalition cabinet.
Yours faithfully
Sultan Mohamed.
