Dear Editor:
President Bharrat Jagdeo on August 11, 2011 at the Convention Centre said that young people need to look back at the country’s history, in order to defend its current progress. This is statement loaded with trickery and deception and can only be compared to a statement made by the con artist who tried to sell Parliament to an unsuspecting foreigner. Thus the PPP's deception and political subterfuge must be exposed.
History is defined as “an established record of the past”.
Guyana’s history will tell us the following:
1. Guyanese have the PPP to thank for the tragic indignity of an imposed British settlement to our electoral system in 1964. The facts are the PPP delegation gave Duncan Sandys full power to settle the constitutional issues which in the end gave Guyana a PNC Government;
2. The PPP actively courted the riggers of elections – the PNC in 1977, to form a National Front government by offering them critical support. This fact clearly demonstrates that the PPP and the PNC have always been two peas in the same pod and still are to this day;
3. The PPP has established its track record of violence against those whom it thinks will “split the vote” – actual evidence - Balram Singh Rai in the 60’s and Ravi Dev in the 90’s. Today, some of the perpetrators of violence still hold high positions in the PPP;
4. The PPP under Jagdeo and Ramotar is a bunch of financial zealots and economic opportunists only focused on when they can score the next million in grease so that they can complete Pradoville 2 and the other mansions all scattered over Guyana before November 2011. Look out for the butcher shop deal this time rather than the barber shop computer deal? Were any of these young people in the Convention Centre told that a man in the room was building a house worth $500 million, whom 12 years ago did not have even $5 million in his bank account to pay Varsh?
5. The PPP has a well established record of failing to enhance the economic well being of the average Guyanese. Nothing done under this Jagdeo regime is sustainable; it is all patch work for a “pappy show”. Where are the long term jobs? Where are the deliverables that proves that the personal security of the people has improved? Look at the Le Repentir cemetery, this is classic LCDS in the making (grown more forest in the middle of the City). Guyana is one mass theater in human under development and under utilization. This is Donald Ramotar “jumbie” economics for you;
6. In 2006, the PNC and PPP did a back-room deal to equally share the scruntineer’s money shutting out all the other parliamentary parties; in clear violation of the law;
7. The PPP and PNC conducted a covert coup d'etat in 2006 in Regions 1, 4, 7,8, 9 and 10 to exclude the AFC from Governance in these Regions. What happen to the voices of the 29,000 people who voted AFC in 2006? The combined self interest of the PPP and PNC is always more important that the nation’s well being. Watch carefully as the electoral race heats up. The PPP shall run to the bottom house and preach “don’t split the vote” and in the PNC case, they shall preach “marginalization”. If the people vote the same way then look out for more of the same (back room deals between the PPP and PNC continues). Well the AFC message of change is reaching the people and we are being told resoundingly by the people, we will “tek their lap top, free food, free music and free transportation to the rally but we voting change”;
8. While Donald Ramotar and his cabal shout at the top of their voices that they are all for the working class, they have basically replace the white man as the new privileged class; building multiple properties with their 29 tonnes of imported Italian tiles on lands grabbed from the people. These same members of the Ramotar cabal then turnaround and call on the workers to “tek 5% and mek a sacrifices”. Well apparently they did not hear the Indo-Guyanese women from Bath settlement and the Afro-Guyanese man in Amelia Wards – “this struggulation too much now, enough is enough”
There can be no peace and harmony in the land when the working class perceives a deep sense of injustice and marginalization at the hands of this PPP and PNC privileged class. This is what make the Alliance for Change (AFC) extremely relevant in today’s Guyana ; we are filling a political vacuum that needed to be filled. The AFC is providing political leadership to the working class regardless of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.
We are the only political force that can honestly stand up and say we may all come from different backgrounds but we all have common challenges and we are all working for a common solution. A Cathy Hughes is powerful enough to influence policy in the AFC for people who share her background; like wise a Neilson McKenszie, a Fitz Ralph, a Rohan Somar, a Sixtus Edwards, a Sasenarine Singh, a Tarron Khemraj, a Martin Cheong, a Sarah Punilal, a Versammy Ramaya and the list goes on.
The AFC is not a Ramjattan party or a Trotman party or a Holder party or an Indo-Guyanese thing or an Afro-Guyanese thing; it is a Guyanese thing.
The AFC is making history since the Indo-Guyanese people are telling us that the Indo-centric PPP has misruled and misrepresented them for 19 years and they are ready to walk away from them. Likewise the Afro-Guyanese are telling us the Afro-centric PNC now APNU cannot win these elections since with 32% Afro-Guyanese support that is a far way from 51% and they know not one Indo-Guyanese will vote for the APNU formerly the PNC.
The only choice left to lead the people out of this period of under development is the AFC. We are ready, we are able and we are willing and all we are asking the people is to give us one chance by voting for change. If after 5 years we do not deliver what should be delivered in that time period, then – kick us out.
Guyana’s future is the AFC.
