Disappointed with Dr. Vindhya & other females’ silence on dildo issue

Apr 29, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

I am disappointed that Dr. Vindhya Persaud and other female Ministers have been publicly silent over the dildo Minister and the latest sex scandal making the rounds on social media. The dildo man has not learned lessons on previous encounters as do several other Ministers and government functionaries. They must be reprimanded and held accountable for their actions. It is just a matter of time before another scandal erupts.
Dr. Vindhya is a strong woman, a heroine to many not only in Guyana but around the region and internationally. She does not abuse her authority or power and is respectful of all; she gives all a fair hearing and treatment with resources. She is a no-nonsense woman. She stands up for rights. She tells it like it is, very bluntly; she is known to stand up to the male powers that be in the government and in the PPP. She spoke out against the shenanigans and skullduggery in the selection of the PPP candidate. She was never afraid to speak up at Central Committee meetings. She has impeccable integrity. She is among a few Ministers who are not corrupt; she is not on the take, no drawback. She throws you out of her office if you hint of a drawback. And for this noble quality, she is disliked by her colleagues and fellow MPs. Her colleagues would like to see her out of parliament and cabinet because she embarrasses them with her honesty and decency.
But I am disappointed by Dr. Vindhya’s loss of voice since becoming a member of the cabinet in publicly repudiating colleagues or her government for abuses. She has become silent to so many wrong doings in this government and in party affairs. She is not confronting the two dominant males who run amok with power.
Dr. Vindhya is no ordinary person. She is the main Hindu voice as head of Dharmic Sabha. She is the voice of the Hindus in the PPP, parliament, and cabinet.
The Hindu community looks to Dr. Vindhya for leadership, direction and guidance. Although there are several Hindu MPs and Ministers, she is the only one speaking out for Hindus. The rest have lost their voice. Some of the men have become political eunuchs; they are in government for perks and not to represent their constituents.
On the Minister involved in the dildo matter, Dr. Vindhya must not pick and choose what to condemn; she and her female colleagues should publicly speak out against the abuses. Dr. Vindhya has also been silent on critical issues relating to good governance. The Attorney General, who is the protector of the purse and of the nation against abuses like those from dildo man, has also been silent. Of all individuals, the AG should have ordered an investigation in the sex scandal.
Dr. Vindhya and other females would have the nation behind her if she speaks out against sex predators in her party, parliament, and in cabinet. Ditto if she speaks out against colleagues who are on the take, if indeed they are on the take.

Yours truly,
Chandra Seepersad
