The restoration of Democracy in Guyana

Aug 07, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,

After the attempted rigging of Guyana’s 2020 elections, democracy was restored by decent minded citizens and the international observers especially CARICOM.
Yet, the APNU +AFC are peddling a false narrative that democracy was stolen from them and the democratically elected PPP/C Government of Guyana was installed by foreign powers.
If the APNU+AFC feels so strongly about that, why did they not continue in Government?
Is it because their American Visas were more important?
The failure of the APNU+AFC experiment in Government was that they really did not have a clue on how to take the country forward. Who can forget the pre-2015 election promise that sugar was too big to fail yet they turned around and sacked thousands of poor Guyanese people or the rice farmers are private business so they are on their own or telling people to become entrepreneurs when people lacked skills and financial resources to do so.
So the story goes: the APNU+AFC told Guyanese that the PPP/C was corrupt pre-2015 then when they got into power, they did audits only to find out there was no widespread corruption.
Oh yeah, the APNU+AFC reduced VAT from 16% to 14% only to increase taxes in other areas and taxed previously exempted goods and services. How much of that VAT reduction was actually passed onto Guyanese?
Then PNC led APNU+AFC operated more on sound bites rather than sound policies. Much like they are doing today with their false claims of “The Theft of Democracy”.

Yours faithfully,
Sean Ori
