I was hoping to see my favorite, Toshao Yvonne Pearson, on that list.  She is a very loyal MP in the PPP party.

"She is one of the longest serving Amerindian leaders, by her very animated presence, is not just another hinterland resident wanting her voice heard. She went out and did something. She was a crucial member of a team that revamped the Amerindian Act, giving more recognition to the rights to lands for Guyana’s indigenous people.

Over the past months, with increasing attention being paid to the impacts of climate change to the earth, she was convinced that Amerindians were mandated to “put in their two cents”.
She is a mother, a village leader, a farmer, a rights advocate and the list goes on.
So how did this little lady take on these hefty challenges?

The mother of five, born Yvonne Fredericks, grew up in Abrams Creek, Pomeroon River and was the third of five children. Her father, Fred Fredericks, was a well-known teacher and senior official of the United Force party.

It's great to see our Amerindian brothers and sisters take their place within the most patriotic of Guyana political machinery, the PPP!

What Indian?  PPP is now a Buck man party!

Really. Now tell us about the ethnicity of the top 10 vote getters. Clearly this is indicative of the degree to which Jagdeo likes them, given that you all PPP frauds so exactly as he says.

Only one is part Indian, the rest fully so, at least based on how Guyanese view it.  And you can show no evidence that Rohee identifies with his Afro Guyanese heritage, or with Afro Guyanese themselves, so in reality who is fully Indian.

Amerindians and blacks in the PPP are reduced to being audience members and tokens, so the PPP can continue to fool them that it isn't the "coolie people party" as Jagdeo and Rohee so emphatically described it as being last year.

Very good move by the PPP. The Jagan PPP always had a Guyanese Chinese representation I hope it continues also.

Amerindians are not Chinese, even though some look so!

I know this. The Jagan PPP always had an Amerindian and a Guyanese historical Chinese representation. A Guyanese historical Chinese representation is also important.

The Revised Amerind Act of 2006 is a travesty...a ppp encomienda....or slave contract.
