It is an insult to keep reminding us of the PPP’s wrongs when you were given the power to stop them

Dec 06, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor

Why the waste of crocodile tears over the Ministry of Local Government postponement of elections for mayors and deputy mayors? Our supporters or that which is left of them are tired of the hypocritical posturing and public complaints of what the PPP is doing to the once mighty, visionary and militant party of Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham.

Our supporters have long concluded that the PPP continues to follow to the T its age- old mandate to weaken and crush the PNCR and this is more evident today than any other time in the history of party politics in Guyana.

I wish to categorically emphasize that any political party anywhere in this world that has the upper hand over its opposition because it is weak, fearful and without a clear vision to pushback against oppression and disrespect, will do exactly what the PPP is doing to the PNCR. There are facts of life that we cannot ignore; if you are a fish, someone will try to catch you with a net or hook and devour you. If you are a donkey, they will ride and whip you in the process.

The PPP has historically understood one language whenever its hegemony peaks. When a leader publicly admits that such language is not an option, that leader is giving the PPP and its viscous and fox-like leader, Bharrat Jagdeo the right to take hegemonic actions like we have never experienced before.

If the PPP wants to empty the Consolidated Fund of its billions, who or what can stop that? If the PPP decides to unconstitutionally control the heads and ranks of our national security services, what will you do? If the PPP decides to give only its supporters millions of taxpayers’ dollars and give yours a pittance, what will be your response?

It is an insult to keep reminding us about the wrongs the PPP is doing when you were given the power to ensure they do not continue. When an opposition is hoping to win an election by default and not by visible performance that responds to the time and circumstances, we are forced to be in a precarious place in politics; a place where the people will not only lose respect for you but one in which they can quietly withhold their support. The PPP has postponed the elections for mayors and deputy mayors. Thanks for telling us what we already know is expected of the regime. Now tell us what is your tangible and result yielding course of action.  If you are today’s representatives of Burnham’s party. Act like him.

Sincerely
