Stop kidding yourself and see reality.  PPP supporters are more cognizant about the issue of corruption and cares a great deal about how their leaders perform.  They have wasted no time in criticizing some of the ministerial appointments.  They are holding their leaders accountable and I wish such political maturity can transfer over to the APNU and the almost defunct AFC.

That's no reason to leave them unchecked. Let's look back at what they did before 2015 and avoid any reoccurrences. They are no stranger to corruption. I know that and you know that. 

Moderator,

You are going around biting your tail like a dog on this thing about corruption and accountability.  The PPP government from 1992 - 2015 was a far less corrupt government than the PNC government of the last five years.

Some posters dwell too much on previous corruption and blame, instead of accountability and performance for those presently in government. If illegality took place, it will be dealt by the courts. 

PPP supporters feel the PNC did not do well in the last government and that is their right. But some poster have experiences of the performance of the last time the PPP govern Guyana and many things did not work well. Especial looking after the people who voted for them. However,  it is important that the PPP be held accountable for a performance, so this does not reoccur. Ordinary people lives in Guyana needs to be elevated and from oil, there is enough money to make it happen this time.

Why are you dwelling on previous five years when there is an opportunity to do better in the next five yeast ?  Do you have a clock that goes backwards ? 

Because the past five years saw the most looting and stealing as never seen in Guyana's history. Lock them up !!!!

Sean, what will you do with all PNC supporters in Guyana, regarding Guyana's development in the next five years ? 

Why is Tola dwelling on the PPP's 23 years and asking us to ignore APNU/AFC's last five?  Do I see a double-standard here?  

President Jagdeo and Ali is governing for all Guyanese. I am not in government. 

PNC wheels are falling off, big infighting. Did you read Bond's and others attack in Granger ? I heard that Moses is cleaning canal at Rose hall estate.  Granger kicked him to the curb.

FYI, both PPP and PNC screwed up Guyana during their past governments.  But when will Guyanese stop dwelling on the past and start looking forward what they can do together for the future ? 

If the PNC was back in government, the same accountability will be demanded. But the PPP now has an opportunity to do better than the last time.

Enjoy Ali for now. His replacement has returned from Florida. Ali be gone in 2025.

The PNC made a large donation to a group in Corentyne  to implement programs for Indians, as a way of helping communities that were ignored for a long time.

I know that but corruption is corruption, big or small. There was a dull period for the PPP when Jagdeo was behaving selfishly and powerful. Remember, they are on a test run to do good within the next five years, and when I said to keep a check on them, I mean to help them realize they have to pass the test than given a free pass. The year 2025 will be here before you know it. We have to let them break the cycle of race politics and remind them to unite the country. 

And they will if you just let them do their jobs.  As a matter of fact, they don't care what you think.  They have done more than what the PNC did in 5 years, in just 20 days.  Rome was not built in a day.

Really? does this mean Indians on top again and they should oppress the other races? What kind of Guyana are you designing for the next generation?

Like you cashed in another secret charity project ?

Instead of substantiating charges of corruption brought against PPP leaders the PNC and AFC went all out embezzling monies from the state like their won't be another term for them in office.  

Securing GECOM from being controlled by the PNC should be priority number one for this government. PNC/AFC corruption are being exposed everyday.  

Folks, has the PPP become another Indo party again according to Ramakant? If so, what should we expect differently than the same racially divided Guyana?

Not us, but the Indians that the PPP ignored in the last government. Harmon was here recently. Its cut rass at the next election, starting now. 

Poor planning on the PPP, constitutes an emergency for the Indians. Desperation will get help from anywhere and also vote for the APNU.

This is a racial attack on the PPP by the Rebirther, Cobra.  Blacks and Amerindians are well represented in the party and government.  I don't see how you can make a charge of racism against the PPP.  Your attempt to label the government racist is no different from the efforts of the Benschops, Burkes, and Jones.  Sometimes it's best not to respond to these attacks.

I say give the PPP time to adjust, before they mess up again, or have seen their  mistakes and work on fixing them.

It is not a comment, both are questions ???????   It needs a reply,  not a comment like yours.

Gosh, are you guys unintelligent or what ?

I also say give the PPP about  year to prove themselves. Including, how they will deal with improving the living conditions of their voters. 

I agree with Cobra that everyone should keep check on the PPP and hold them accountable for their promises in their manifesto. Governments are better when the governed are vigilant.

There is no penalty for being wrong, Rama. Every day members make mistakes and learn at the same time.

This.

All governments, no matter one's political affiliation or preference, should be subject to scrutiny. These are public officials, voted in by the people, for the people. They made many promises throughout the campaign. Let that be their litmus test.

As for dwelling on the past - Jagdeo's track record must be also brought to the forefront as his own litmus test. He is second (or first, really) in command, and many were scarred, maimed and murdered under his "legacy". Those wounds have re-opened. Many Guyanese are literally living in fear of the PPP and what's to come. This reality cannot be ignored.

I totally agree with your first statement.

Regarding your second one, no one should lose sleep when criminals are neutralized. The crime spree of about 15 years ago required some innovative approach and thankfully that crime spree came to an end. One should focus more on the loss of innocent lives at the hands of these criminals instead of the eventual elimination of the criminals.

Thankfully for democracy supporters in Guyana, Jagdeo is not like Jagan. Today the PNC shivers in fear at the thought of Jagdeo. That is good for everyone in Guyana. Even supporters of the PNC.
