Ok Folks.
Everyone here knows that yuji is a die hard PPP supporter. What you may not know is the yuji is a strong supporter of democracy and the will of the people.
Overseas Guyanese made a valuable contribution to the restoration of democracy in Guyana. Many made great sacrifices and while asking for nothing in return, were never properly acknowledged by the PPP and felt betrayed. I am certain that deep down, they knew that they did the right thing for their country in breaking 28 years of PNC dictatorship rule.
Up to the last election, the PPP was elected by certified free and fair elections but for the first time had to govern with a minority. Many including myself saw this as a test of the will of politicians to govern Guyana for all Guyanese. This fell apart as old school politicians planted the seeds for partisan politics and Guyana has been further divided.
As Guyana made progress, the working class and blacks suffered since the tools for enhancing their economic progress was not available to them and Guyana seems to be a crossroad. It is like a bubble about to burst.
What I find troubling, is the refusal of the PPP to hold Local Elections despite pleas for NGO and Overseas Governments. The PPP is using the "mood" of the people as and excuse no to hold election. And the latest bombshell is that the President will not sign the bill for Local Elections because the the Elections Commission is not ready to handle an election. This is also troubling since the bill was passed quite a while ago and it is the responsibility of the government to ensure that elections are held. It is not the "mood" of the people that decides, it is their elected representatives in Parliament who passed a motion for Local Elections.
I call on the PPP to respect the will of the people and hold Local Elections.
