That could depend on your definition.
I agree. He saw the Coalition was always behind the eighth ball so he ketch dem unprepared backsides and put lash pun dem. Till now dem still bassidy.
The problem here is we are all in the karmic stream of retributive justice when the reality is not one person in the PPP ever got a sense the nation was ill served with all of their gross rent seeking behavior.
Here we are celebrating Charandass for bringing down the "evil" PNC for horrible wrongs when the reality is they were three years in office and any thing leveraged against them would be peanuts if compared to jagdeo's sins.
Granger may be aloof, practically absent and he may have surrounded himself with geriatric military dunces hence leaving vast deficits in political craft that could shape a coherent message that he has our back. Worse he did not set out to create a citizen commission to assess, close or if necessary salvage portions of the sugar industry. Now he is saddled with what is actually jagdeos doing.
But this reality must be matched by the fact that he booted ban shanlin. 40 containers of our wood is not shipped monthly with no body keeping check They are not borrowing for mega projects that would be leech opportunity and they have some 2 billion line of credit lying around.
So we must temper our commentary and get out our sack cloth and sit down and contemplate our shame because we are handing the government over to unrepentant crooks if the PPP get into office with no third party check.
I don't disagree with your comments. Remember that I have no stake in what happens in Guyana nor do I think that anything I do or say would matter. This is theater for me and I am enjoying it regardless of who comes out victorious. There are no sages in Guyanese politicians. I have been against the PNC ever since I was a kid. That will never changed. Because I am against the PNC, I naturally lean towards the PPP and in that light, it is my hope that they become a government for all if they win. Jagdeo isn't going to live forever and hopefully the next PPP leader will be much stronger than Ramotar and push back on any pressure from Jagdeo.
