PNC is now churning out makeshift organisations

Nov 28, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

The orchestrated racism machinery of the PNC is now churning out makeshift organisations and associations to propagate their divisive lies about the social realities across Guyanese communities and among our citizens.

Their newest propaganda puppet is the so-called ‘Institute for Action Against Discrimination’, headed by the disgruntled former army Colonel Lelon Saul, who has purportedly written to the Democratic Black Caucus in the United States Congress with a hysteric claim that Guyana is on the brink of civil unrest, because of fictitious issues of discrimination swirling around in Saul’s head.

Almost a decade ago, Lelon Saul was sent into early retirement from the Guyana Defence Force, a situation which he never fully recovered from. His radical views about the PPP/C have never been a secret in and out of active duty and have in fact been intensifying since losing the CEO title his squaddies in the David Granger administration bestowed on him at the Central Housing and Planning Authority, following the 2015 elections.

Saul’s mindset was on full display most recently during President Ali’s visit to Belladrum.

Ahead of the 2015 elections in Guyana, retired GDF Brigadier David Granger was selected as the army boys’ Manchurian Candidate who would become President. The deal saw retired Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Harmon become Minister of State in the new Ministry of the Presidency, with portfolio powers never before seen in government since independence. So much so were Harmon’s powers, that the coalition partner AFC demanded reductions to achieve better balance of power in the partnership.

Dozens of other retired Brigadiers, Colonels and Captains were handed senior appointments across the government spectrum, at the Georgetown Public Hospital, at the National Parks Commission and other strategic agencies and departments of the state, effectively ring-fencing the governance apparatus with military management tactics, and preparing the machinery for the many strong-arm policies and programmes that would set the stage for a dictatorship.

These ranged from forcing citizens to pay more than one hundred new taxed, taking away cash grants from Guyanese children, rendering thousands of sugar workers and Amerindian residents jobless, and repossessing farmlands in the MMAADA and other parts of the country.

Lelon Saul landed at the CHPA as part of the militarization strategy. Since the failed attempts to steal the elections in 2020 by the Granger soldiers, Saul and several of his military squaddies have been frequenting talk shows.

Now Saul is boldly writing to the US Congress. Saul and his fear-mongering squaddies would be well advised to take careful lessons from the resolve demonstrated by the PPP/C and other national and international stakeholders, in the face of the undemocratic disposition of parties to the attempted election heist of 2020, and the citizens continued overwhelming rejection of their racist, divisive politics of yesteryear. The orchestrated racism bogeyman tactics being waged at home and abroad by Saul Et Al to fracture the Guyanese society, will not work. Its intellectual authors will continue to be isolated and fiercely rebuffed by every truly patriotic citizen of our country, even among their political strongholds; and their plans and schemes will eventually fall into the long arms of the law.

Respectfully
Kwame McCoy
Minister within the Office of the Prime Minister
