Amanza Walton should resign over racist marks

May 01, 2021 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

I have listened to a recording of APNU+AFC MP Amanza Walton on a chat show with David Hinds. I was disturbed to hear her describe the PPP’s support base, who she said is “predominantly Indo Guyanese” as “a bunch of mentally lazy people.” She went on to state that PNC supporters are more inquisitive and concerned about the democratic process.
I don’t need to go on about the racist overtones overloaded in that statement. Anyone with a working brain can see that what this individual said is a racist remark. Every single right minded Guyanese should condemn her for her remarks. I trust they will condemn her as they did when Bheri Ramsarran and Anil Nandlall made offensive remarks about particular groups of people.
I call on the ERC to prosecute her for such remarks. I also call on her to resign from Parliament as such a deviant, hate filled mind should not represent Guyanese in the legislative process of this country.

Yours truly,
Suresh Kissoon
