DEAR EDITOR,
An illustrious president, Dr. Irfaan Ali, hardworking and hardly resting, is certainly not bemused with the current situation in the country, in particular with all the adversities facing Guyanese and an unwilling Opposition Party not cooperating in the national interest and showing no sign of patriotism. He, nevertheless, remains optimistic, is resilient and maintains a composure of being calm.
Leader of the Opposition, Joe Harmon’s aspersions on the Sputnik vaccines tells a tall tale. The APNU+AFC Party is the bearer of false news, lies and disruption. Their tongue twisting is the main tool to fabricate a sad and pathetic story in order to draw sympathy. The PNC’s legacy of being a destructive element, a racial body, a biased institution and a discriminating organisation, has left a vivid paper trail of social upheaval, violent behaviour, political mayhem and economic chaos.
Luckily, Guyanese now have a new duly elected government, administered by the PPP/C Party. This has materialised a number of changes and things are beginning to look up with the hope and expectation for betterment. Law and order is slowly taking shape once more as rules and regulations are observed. The President and all the government ministers have been on the ground, in the field and water, walking and working foot to foot with the man in the street to test the depth of the water. They have distributed thousands of food hampers, relocated many, provided all available help and instituted all necessary precautions; a motion ousted David Patterson as Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee. This APNU+AFC’s brazen bullying came to an end; the Town Clerk was given 24 hours to state what actions were taken against the delinquent workers. Despite the flood, COVID, crime and political interference, Guyana’s antennae is up and beaming and, there is a ray of hope as the rainbow promises a light at the end of the tunnel. The committed President Ali remains steadfast to his difficult responsibilities and unmoved by the deliberate distractions.
Respectfully,
Jai Lall
