Mr Mahadeo .....that's a PPP Problem....they have to fix their problem.

No, it is a Guyana problem. We need an opposition to keep the Gov't honest (laugh)and deliver on the promises it made while on the campaign trail. If not the PPP then who. Yes the PPP needs to reform itself, and quickly to fight the negativity in which it is mired. The PPP for its part, might be motivated to keep an eye on the gov't sin order to say, "you did just like me, so stop criticizing". My bet is that they will let the gov't fall into pits of their own making, and then expose them; I would! And if you think the governing party would not cave in to payback to its staunch supporters and/or activists, just look, just look at what they did with respect to mayor Greene. And how long do you think Granger will be able to hold them off? There will be overwhelming pressure to reward party members, and the creeping corruption that will come. This is why I feel that nothing will come of prosecuting PPP ministers; the fear that the same thing might happen to them.

 

Sitting on the sidelines and sniping is one thing. All of us on this blog do that so well. It is another thing to have the reins of government in your hands. All of a sudden when practical decisions have to be made, the gloves will come off and the gov't has to expose itself. Criticizing the PPP only has a limited shelf life; the people and more so, the supporters of the gov't will expect them to deliver, unless exposing the PPP is new economics. Regardless of what we feel, this gov't has to be given some slack to show what they can do; I hope it is not all pomp and ceremony. The mayor Greene should give us pause to ponder. They say be careful what you chase before it catches you. They have the reins now and have to show what they are capable of. Like the PPP, they too will run out of time.

A thought just occurred to me. The advent of the new government might be good for the PPP; it might be the thing that forces them to change for the better. Just saying !!
