The NY State Attorney General meddling in Guyana’s internal affairs, should focus on crime in NY

Nov 07, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

The NY Attorney General should focus on solving crimes in New York State that affect Afro-Americans disproportionately rather than meddling in Guyana’s internal affairs. She has crossed the line, is playing politics, and involved in incitement. Why does this lady think she has jurisdiction to run her mouth about Guyana? In brief remarks at an event organized by political miscreants in New York, one of whom is a subject of concern to the Guyana authorities, the New York AG said, “Hello Guyana! Let them know you would not tolerate racism, Hello Guyana. Hello Guyana! Let them know [we would] not  tolerate corruption! Hello Guyana! Let them know that you believe in democracy. Hello Guyana! Let them know you believe in fair elections, come on Guyana, let them hear you roar!” That was how Attorney General James began her address on Sunday.

Now the PPP is not a poster child or candidate for sainthood. But to say the PPP is engaged in racism and discrimination is vexatious, mischievous, and reprehensible. The closest we came to apartheid was under the rigged years of the PNC. Many feel that the PPP at its worst would always be better than the PNC at its best. The PPP’s biggest, unpardonable sin and major blunder is its failure to renegotiate the oil contracts as it promised in the 2020 election campaign. The PPP has been elected fairly in elections that have been certified by CARICOM, the International Community and the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ). The only party that has rigged elections and tried to do that in plain sight of observers in 2020 was the PNC. For the NY Attorney General and some members of the Black Caucus to make false charges about racism and discrimination, based on poisonous propaganda from New York mischief-makers to my mind, is what is racist. From my observations, the PPP’s cash grants, GOAL scholarships, award of house lots mostly to blacks, village outreaches, and infrastructure programs are implemented with a high degree of representativeness across all communities. I have noticed the PPP responds quickly to requests when they visit communities that don’t vote for them. In their supporters’ communities, they are told to wait. Whim is still waiting for concrete drains and asphalted streets.

In fact, we can probably make a case that if the PPP is discriminating, it is against Indo-Guyanese. The PPP refuses to add “Indian” to “Arrival Day” although the PNC supports that. The PPP failed to ensure the Police charged those that brutalized Indians during the West Coast Berbice riots. At Mon Repos, the PPP Government failed to stop protesters, and allowed them to reach Mon Repos where Indian vendors were terrorized. They promised that more offenders will be charged. We are still waiting to see that, although an abundance of video footage exists that show the terrorists in action. Under the PPP’s watch, an Indian woman was allegedly gun-butted by a PPP operative who was allowed to make a quick exit back to New York. The PPP has no plan to diversify the Government services. Now we find out that PNC supporters in GECOM have ducked videos and wiped computers of key information. We have not heard the Black Caucus or NY Attorney General make any pronouncements about these matters. The Government should let that meddling AG know it was a top PNC Leader who said, “The only friends I got is PNC, so the only people I gon give wuk to is PNC, and right now I looking for a Doctor who can talk Spanish or Portuguese, and ah want one that is PNC.”

That NY Attorney General ‘eyepass’ Guyana. I hope the Government is using its lobbyists and diplomatic corps to reprimand that lady and her friends who think they can run their mouth based on political fiction. Stand up for Guyana!

Sincerely,
Dr.Jerry Jailall
