jalil bhai:

When it comes to numbers and politics the Rev has been exposed as a total dunce.

With the Rev now proclaiming that the AFC is a 10% party and no way Moses can ever be president---that might be good news for the AFC and Moses---given the Rev's track record of being dead wrong in election prediction.

Once again, The Rev doesn't believe Moses will ever be president of Guyana---but it's the masses in Guyana who will make that decision---and in the next election they may very well prove the Rev to be dead wrong---just like the American masses proved the Rev to be a political dunce and dead wrong in the recent election.

The PPP has left an equal or more insidious destruction. Primarily as it relates to law and order, public accountability, police effectiveness and credibility, the efficiency of the civil service, rule of law, social cohesion, etc. New buildings don't equate with development. The destruction of the invisible institutions are what matter for democracy and for the common man. Add to that the damage done to NIS and Guysuco it gets even worse... 

Rev I am glad we agree dat your numbers can never be trusted or taken seriously.

International sanction ruined the nation as the money dried up for loans and grants. The PNC would have prospered in their crookedness like many dictators favorable to the west did at this time if they huddled for protections under the western cold war umbrella of this  era.

The PNC did not sell our our assets, or give away our lands en mass to their cronies. The PPP has. Yes there is a difference. The PPP has practiced industrial strength corruption during their rule and the obscene wealth we see among their kith and kin is evidence of that.

Indeed the AFC has not proposed any methodological strategy to control the PPP's theft. They have not advocated any constitutional changes that will bring an end to the authoritarian executive presidency. Indeed they are yet to tell us  and to generate the memes that would change the thinking of the people from accepting the idea that the PPP can overule the legislature. This lacking is pathetic.

Tell us what legislation the AFC has proposed in its 6 years in parliament that would curtail corruption? You folks have no plan. Where is the proposal for a civilian review board? Where are the calls for independent panels to investigate ministers and public officials? Where are your calls for a whistle blower hotline and protection program?

Happy New Year to you too jalil bhai---May 2013 bring you and your family great health and all that you hope and wish for.

Don't try to rewrite history, during the PNC years they did give away land, however the land was not as valuable as under the PPP. During the PPP tenure land value has increased tremendously, hence the focus on their alleged "giving away of land". During the PNC era they could not give away land if they wanted to as the land was a liability due to the tax burden via property taxes. 

AFC proposed Procurement Commission reform. Reinstating the Ombudsman to investigate the buildup of properties. Seconding Ashni Singh's wife from audit office. Local government elections. Independent Ethnic Relations chief. AFC called for police reforms. 

Those are all one offs, not sustaining policies that would endure over different administrations. I suggest you research how it is done in developed nations instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. 

suh . . which waan is it?

like u confused . . . i suggest u stick to KLOWNING

I take the point you made about "one off" in good faith. 

It's been 9 months since the budget cuts, and the PPP cannot name one person who lost their job as a result of the cuts, but here the Rev parades this...in true Goebbels style.  Rev, you want to take a shot at it, and name one person who lost their job as a result of the cuts?

I am aware that this exposes our own shortcomings as the fat cats who were targeted are still there. Starting with Ramotar's son earning G$1.8M, through to Gail Teixeira's $1M, to Lumumba's $700,000 and finally down to Kwame McKoy's and Romel Roopnarine's $400,000 per month.

 Where have I re written what occurred? Do you think that the PPP can survive in a climate of American hostility and no foreign loan availability? Burnham did mismanage, misspent and mis align himself with the communist west. That is our history.

We own a lot of land and the taxes and rates did not take us into t he poor house.

Dont get me wrong, a dictator is a dictator. Burnham was and the Present cabal are. The only difference here is one pretends to be democratic. Which democracy operates with the Administration thinking the can act independent of the legislature and ignore accountability?

Gerhard.....although we differ with Rev.....

I have to point out something before the New Year....

he is a little different from Jagdeo and Ramotar.....

Rev admits that Jagdeo & Ramotar are Thiefing.....

Rev admits that their underlings and friends in the PPP thiefing.....

Rev admits that the PNC was thiefing too when they were in Govt.....

Rev admits that ......Jagdeo+Ramotar= Thiefing=PNC

Exactly, Jalil Bhai!

Any PPPite who cannot admit that is lying to themselves, a technically impossible task even for schizophrenics as the personalities ( liar and one lied to) share the same head!

Owning land behind god's back as they say in Guyana is not even worth mentioning in the current discussion. However under the PPP even your obscure land has now exponentially increased in value, you should be thanking the same folks you curse every day for your new found wealth. Under the AFC/PNC leadership you would stand to lose massively as immediately property value would fall should these creeps ascend to power. 

You are no expert on legislation in Guyana so don't pretend to be one.  If the PPP broke the law then it is up to parliament to bring them to justice, you people now have the majority, use it wisely instead of trying to stymie development. 

The PPP did not cause the escalation in value of land. That is nonsense. They inherit a transitional democracy and instead of transitioning they consolidated all of the old dictatorial options and actually stymied fruitful growth. Honest entrepreneurs cannot compete with drug lords washing cash or with PPP cronies being given preferential treatment. Instead of the best and the brightest innovators and developers the society depends for its input from a particular class of morons.  Only PPP cronies and drug people return. Small business people with innovative ideas to build lasting meaningful  manufacturing base are shut out. Your behind is not there because you know you would lose your ass trying to compete against those with preferential treatment or drug lords washing money

I do not have to be an expert on legislative process to know the PPP are crooks defending turf. Democratic societies are a balance of the peoples will against the will of the management authority. If the legislature is to be the Peoples house and the seat of law then it should be the ground for checking the excesses of government. The PPP are crooks. That our AG can clamor for the Parliament to go to court to restrain the excesses of a  Kleptocrastic authority is the height of audacity and disrespect for the rule of law. One of these days they will  have to respond to the will of the legislature. That does not require great depth of learning to grasp. It is a natural evolution to democracy.

Godey walla......your expertise is yuh Poom Poom Shorts.

And ......If Sparrow seh so......is so........ask Chief.
