Remaining silent under circumstances knowingly inimical to workers’ interest is inexcusable

Mar 20, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,
Response is made to Tacuma Ogunseye’s letter, “Lewis’ position is mind-boggling” (KN, 15th March, 2022). Not having sufficient time on my hand, as stated in my last letter, was in no way an indication that I would not respond as I see fit. A sharp mind would have taken note of that. I am well advised – by universally acceptable principles, and a sense of justice.
The fact that the Working People’s Alliance (WPA) chose to associate, to be part of the David Granger administration, there is no excuse whatsoever for the WPA’s nonperformance, non-effort to change the untenable circumstances and working conditions of workers under their ministerial portfolios. The fact that they, an alleged working class party, remained silent under circumstances knowingly inimical to workers’ interest, is inexcusable and makes them equally responsible and party to the anti-working class positions meted out to labour by the PPP and continued unabatedly, under a government that they were part of.
Ogunseye would like the public to see the WPA through his lens. The reality is, the WPA does not get to enjoy the benefits of association by way of two Ministries yet absolve themselves from responsibility for labour transgressions inherited or created. The excuse he proffered can only fool the ill-informed and those who are unable to acknowledge the Party’s willingness to sacrifice universally acceptable principles and to address wrongdoing lest they lose favour.
The allegation of mind boggling and infantile is posited by he who flourished in an environment accommodating mass deception and disunity. He fools no independent thinker.
