Seems that Region 10’s Sharma Solomon is at it again. “It” being his desire to revisit the scene of his claim to fame – to blackmail the government with the threat of mayhem and arson to give in to his demands. He cancelled a meeting with the government representative and has called for a massive rally in Linden this Saturday. The message? LET’S GET READY TO RUUUUUMBLE!!!!!
It worked for him once – and he got everything he wanted. Television station; rebuilding the primary school; land selection committee; economic development committee; moratorium on electricity tariffs; committee to review same etc…etc. So you’d wonder what else he wants, wouldn’t you? Well, like any bully, he wants all that he was able to extract, immediately! Or else.
There’s a procedure to be followed, in processing things, says the government. Not for Region 10, screams Solomon. Let’s take the TV station. Never mind that up to now, APNU has been violently opposed to the government owning a TV station. Says that such entities only broadcast “propaganda”. So what’ll be different when Region 10 owns the TV station? Ahhh…it’s the government ‘propaganda; that’s objectionable. The opposition’s OK!
