Having a peaceful handshake in a PNC Stronghold!

Oct 16, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

The friendly handshake of Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, Jermaine Figueira and His Excellency Dr Irfaan Alli did not go down well with the Opposition Leader, Mr. Aubrey Norton, and this caused him to make some unsavoury remarks. A common handshake by Mr. Figueira and the President however, it became a bone of contention for the PNC Leader who responded by saying that he would have liked to see Mr. Figueira leading a band of persons with placards, denouncing the President’s visit. That did not happen so it brought out the ire from Norton.

This hostile response coming from the Opposition Leader, is all bound up in a series of events that led up to this point. He is raving mad that the President can go into a stronghold of theirs and command love and respect that only a true leader could, is obviously worrying for him. So, at this stage Mr. Norton can literally explode and true to form he did. It is the talk in some quarters that the Opposition Leader might very well do something ridiculously crazy, which in real terms could mean that Mr. Figuiera’s standing as a Parliamentarian is on shaky ground.

Obviously, Norton is terribly shaken by the great inroads the PPP/C Administration is making in most areas of this country, Linden being one of them. The ‘One Guyana’ Strategy is making a major difference as this administration move into the various communities, listening to the concerns of the people and in many instances make on the spot solutions. It is real and dynamic before our very eyes.

The ‘One Guyana’ concept is a hell of a problem for Mr. Norton and his PNC Claptraps, this policy has taken him like an avalanche and has also given him a massive headache. I am talking about the ease in which Dr. Ali can move into any community, especially those communities they consider ‘controlled’ by the PNC and make major changes all for the betterment of the citizens there. Nothing is more troubling for the Opposition Leader! The People of this great country have seen their leaders as well as they have seen the development. Let peace and progress continue.

Respectfully Submitted,

Neil Adams
