Poverty continues to persist amidst oil wealth

Apr 11, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor, 

The PPP is steadily losing support daily, is imploding, and is in fear and panic. They are in this position because of their incompetence, corruption, divisiveness, and desire to dominate and control every aspect of the lives of Guyanese.

Unfortunately, poverty continues to persist amidst oil wealth and therefore the Guyanese people are not benefiting and are fighting back both passively and actively.  I urge all Guyanese to hold the line of battle as we link our arms in unity. Let us remain steadfast in our conviction to remove the PPP from office.

Let us not forget the tactics the PPP has used in the past. They incited fear among our people to divide and rule. They bribed, corrupted and compromised many. They have recruited persons who are in conflict with the law that they can control. They used the police to intimidate and stoke unrest and ethnic insecurity, and animosity among the Guyanese people. We must be conscious of these facts and reject the PPP. We remember the dark days of the death squads under the PPP watch, where over 1,400 lives were tragically lost. We remember the rampant shootings of protesters, the era of vigilante justice, and the false post-mortem reports to cover up the truth. They are playing this same dangerous game at present.

Today, we see worrying signs once again. The hounding of even those who supported them but dared to challenge them; this is a clear signal that no one is safe with the PPP in power. This is only the beginning of the PPP’s desperate attempts to cling to power as we march towards the 2025 elections, when we will finally rid our country of PPP incompetence, corruption and divisiveness. We must not allow the PPP TO DIVIDE AND RULE.

The PPP has recognised that the people of Guyana became aware that community policing groups were used as arms of the PPP regime. The people have rejected the community policing approach.

There is a new approach to the PPP arming itself. It is through the establishment of security services aligned with the PPP and armed by the PPP. Let me be very clear, the days of community policing groups, once tools of oppression, are over. We will not allow them to resurface in any form, even under the guise of security services. I call on all Guyanese, especially the poor and vulnerable, to remain vigilant and to protect your families. Do not be lured by the bribery of this corrupt, incompetent and divisive government that is only interested in enriching themselves, their families, their friends and favourites. Let us make the change.

We promise you a government that will PUT THE PEOPLE FIRST. There is no limit to what the PPP might attempt in their desperation to regain the support they have lost over the past four-plus years. We must be vigilant, focused and united in our resolve to rid Guyana of the PPP government. Together, we will persevere. Together, we will reclaim Guyana for its people and ensure that oil money benefits the people of Guyana. Remember, if Guyana is to grow, the PPP must go!

Sincerely,

Leader of the Opposition,

Aubrey Norton
