Promoters should not be given special opportunities because their parents are aligned to the PPP Government

Mar 27, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor

The playground opposite the Mackenzie High School main building has not been cleared in excess of twenty five years. The Mayor and Town Council at Linden and the Government of Guyana never saw it fit to clear the bushes and develop it so that the children of that school could utilise it for sports activities.

The PPP government has now begun clearing and developing that ground for the purpose of private promoters to hold a party during Town Week. The government must explain to the people of Linden why it is expending taxpayers money to develop that ground to allow the children of Kashif and Shanghai, two known PPP activists, to hold a private party.

The Deputy Mayor of Linden must tell residents of Linden what is his unprofessional association with those two known PPP activists and what stranglehold do they have over him and the Town Council.

I have no problem with the children of Kashif and Shanghai or do I have an issue with them being promoters. They are Lindeners and have every right to enjoy what that town has to offer. I would support their endeavours and I am proud that they are doing their thing. However, no one should have an unfair advantage over others because of their political association. No promoter should be given special opportunities because their parents are aligned to the regime.

The PPP government in its desperation to win votes at the upcoming Local Government Elections is now utilising taxpayers money for their friends to have a venue to hold a private party. Millions are being spent, as I pen this missive, on the development of that ground. The people of Linden are not stupid. They know when they are being slighted and are disgusted by the government’s nepotism to garner votes at Linden. This will only further dent the PPP’s chance to win over the fifteen undecided Linden voters whose intention may have been to feel sorry for that regime and give it their votes.

Sincerely yours
