Granger: A Stranger With A Dangerous Past.
A DIFFERENT PNCR: Peeping Tom | March 18, 2015 | KN
“...Fifthly, there has been an invasion of the party by ex-members of the Disciplined Services. The PNCR is now referred to as the military party, because of the prominence of so many ex-members of the security services within the institution.
This is an important and worrying development within Guyana. Never before have so many former members of the Disciplined Services played such a central role in the leadership of any political party.
It raises eyebrows when one considers the rank which some of these individuals held and the fact they are now part of the political leadership of a major political party in the country.
How important this is to the party and to the country is something that has to be debated. But it must be a source of worry to the governing authorities that so many ex-members of the Disciplined Services have found leadership within the main opposition party. It does present an apparition of Guyana’s politics becoming increasingly militarized.”
