Some questions for Hammy Green

Mar 23, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor

Ever since the Minister made the unfortunate “dildo” comments in parliament, supporters of the coalition and their surrogates have appointed themselves morality policemen and have taken the government to task almost on a daily basis. Mr. Green has rightly pointed out to the ‘moral decline’ in Guyana, and rhetorically asked “Will the Government fail to discipline a Minister, whose behaviour in Parliament is unacceptable?

The Elder’s letter, however, much like the rest of the coalition’s argument, has a fatal flaw. He has chosen to impugn the integrity of only one side of the isle, while giving a free pass to the other. So, please permit me to ask the Elder if the following situations contribute to the moral decline of the social fabric of Guyana :
1. Should the code of conduct and ethics allow a sitting MP to almost daily ask for public donations?
2. Is it morally allowed for a sitting member of parliament to disgracefully attack thousands of members of the opposing party every night, including the now famous “stink and dutty”, wicked, jagabats, evil etc epithets.
3. Is it morally okay for black leaders to encourage black supporters to shop only from black stores.
4. Should leaders of trade unions that comprise supporters from all parties, be allowed to be fierce advocates of only one political party?
5. Is it morally okay for members of parliament and other leaders, to openly fraternize with people who are “wanted” by the police?

Respectfully
Chitrakha Persaud
