Integrity and honesty are not measured by physical strength

Jan 20, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
I refer to an article on page 3 of another newspaper on Monday 13th January, 2020 captioned ‘Jagdeo flays Granger for dictatorial tendencies at Albion Rally’ paragraph 6, and I quote ‘he then asked the crowd do we want another low energy president in this country and they responded no following which Jagdeo hailed the PPP/C Presidential Candidate Irfaan Ally saying that despite his size he has tons of energy that’s what we need, we don’t need a president who is aloof even his own supporters he will not stop to take a picture with them, he is coming now because of elections, Jagdeo said in reference to Granger.
It is very, very unfortunate that the leader of a political party see it fit to make such a comment regarding a presidential candidate who is a serving President, the world over we have had Presidents, Opposition Leaders and Presidential Candidates, also Prime Ministers and Prime Ministerial Candidates, for some reason or illness at some time or the other, do not enjoy the best of health, the same can be said about other Senior Officials also the ordinary citizen, Mr. Jagdeo is getting more and more desperate, I am not surprise by his utterances.
This nation has grown accustomed to hear similar statements emanating from him, but as people get better they would become more irrelevant. Physical strength, most times is measured or can be determined by age, but integrity and honesty do not, while Mr. Granger may not be the strongest of the Presidential Candidates, he is by a long way the most honest, and his lever of integrity is second to none. The same can be said about his running mate and Prime Ministerial Candidate, Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan, and that is the reason we all must stand right behind them, one must never trade honesty and integrity for physical strength.
