KINDLY allow me the space and time to respond to a letter written by the Alliance for Change’s (AFC) prime ministerial candidate, Mr. Raphael Trotman and published in the Kaieteur News on Sunday October 16th 2011, captioned “THEY SAY I WAS A PNC”. In the said letter, Trotman charged that a few weeks ago he had the ‘good fortune’ of passing by at a time when a PPP public meeting was being addressed by its presidential candidate, Mr. Donald Ramotar. He took umbrage when the latter reminded his audience that he ( rotman) is not “innocent” because he (Trotman) was a PNC executive. I find this particular reaction to be very strange, given what I will outline below and it is my hope that the same ‘good fortune’ which allowed the AFC prime ministerial candidate to ‘pass by’ a PPP public meeting allows him to visit the political discussion forum situated on the www.guyana.org website. It is on this very site that several of Trotman’s colleagues in the hierarchy of the AFC launched a vicious campaign against former PNC Member of Parliament Joseph Hamilton when it was announced in Berbice that he had switched allegiance to the PPP/C.
This attack which employs the use of racial undertones are emanating from a particular group of people who now dominate the AFC’s leadership and Hamilton’s association with the House of Israel is the primary weapon being used to perpetuate this campaign of ethnic pandering.
I urge the readers also to visit this site so that they may get a better picture of those who aspire to preside over the affairs of this nation.
