The stunning hubris of Norman Browne

Apr 05, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor

Kaieteur News – Norman Browne in his letter to this newspaper yesterday under the headline, “The PPP has done terrible things to Guyana and does not intend to stop…..attacked the government for the price of plantains and eggs. He said the high price of plantains and eggs is evidence that the PPP is ‘doing terrible things to Guyana.”

Prices have gone up significantly in every country in the world. In America, Canada and in England inflation is nearly 8 %, the highest in nearly 50 years. Most citizens in every country will quickly tell you it is much higher than that. The reasons are based on the following: (a) the pandemic (b) the supply chain breakdown (c) spike in oil and gas prices because of the Ukraine war and (d) increase in cost of delivery of goods because of rise in oil prices.

PNCR supporters have selective memory. President Burnham’s incompetence and great mismanagement resulted in great food shortages in flour, canned goods, powder milk, bread etc. etc. All of this while he boasted of making Guyana the ‘breadbasket of the Caribbean.” While we were being starved under President Burnham, the rest of the Caribbean was flourishing.

Mr. Browne’s letter had the appropriate heading. The only problem is that it is 40 years too late.

My old boss was an avid PNCR supporter. One day in 1984, she told me, “the only thing they have at Guyana Stores is toilet paper. I do not know what we are going to do with that, since we have no food to eat.”

Chitrakha Persaud
