Reply to "Post-election tasks"

I agree with the core sentiment that there should not be time wasted in excessive energies on "jail dem".   Of course those majorly responsible for corruption should be held accountable.  But focus must be on developing structures to increase transparencies and minimize corruption and crony awards of contracts.  Those business people who supported the coalition need to understand that there is no quid pro quo.

 

 

However while peace must result, regardless as to which party wins, we must recognize that Guyana is a DIVIDED nation.

 

The PPP will do well even if they don't win.  Why?  Because many Indians, and some Amerindians, are terrified of a PNC led gov't because they are terrified of governance dominated by Africans.  This doesn't necessarily make them racists, or fringe.

 

If APNU AFC loses it will once again convey to African and mixed Guyanese that the electoral process doesn't work for them, and that they remain powerless.  AT some point they will turn to extrajudicial ways of enforcing their relevance.  After every election the PPP promises to deal with this issue, and yet after election election they become even more derisive of this group.

 

So let us not think that, after raising people to such euphoric levels of defeating the PPP you can put the genie in the box if the PPP wins.  After all this is 50% of the population, and not a small fringe group.

 

 

So after the election the NUMBER ONE priority will have to be addressing the sense of exclusion and ethnic panic, because this more than anything else has defined why Guyana has lagged the rest of the Caribbean since the late 70s.
