PNCR General Secretary Oscar Clarke after being shot by bandits


Now that one of their own has become a victim of the very criminals whose actions they justified and offered tacit support to over the years one hoped that the PNC(now APNU) would abandon their stance and embrace the Strategic and Implementation Plans for the Guyana Police Force (GPF) – 2013-2017 put forward by Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee. Any such hopes were quickly dashed when APNU leader David Granger used the occasion for politicking and instead sought to blame the government. 

But Granger is being disingenuous as he knows fully well that the Guyana Police Force is the only entity tasked with combating crime in Guyana and even the most fervent booster of the GPF would concede that reform of that institution was long overdue. And even though Granger and his Opposition colleagues  agree on the need for reform and specifics of Rohee's plan it was the very Granger along with his buddies in the AFC who announced that they will not cooperate in its implementation unless their earlier demand for Rohee's removal is met. So if Granger's sudden awakening is to be taken serious he and his opposition colleagues fully understand the gravity of the situation they must put aside narrow political self interest and work along with the government in the interest of the people.

 Why is the attack on a political personage is the galvanizing mechanism for reform? We had over 130 murders, over a 1000 incidents of violence wrought by the gun, 34 dead by domestic violence and that has been on going and increasing for the past 20 years? Under whose watch are we labeled internationally as a drug hub? Where do you think the PPP enforcer, who left the US with barely a pants got the money to become a  super rich man? Do you think the PPP ministers became wealthy by their genius?

 

These things are a legacy of the PPP corruption. The Opposition had little to do with it. Rohee lived through all of that and were he and the PPP concerned for the safety of citizens he would leave quietly for an alternate posting so as to ensure cooperation in this area at all levels. He is severely compromised ( even  if the claim he maintains is true ie his own fault) by the rise of criminality and citizens discontent under his watch.

The Guyanese Populace will be watching the events in the National Assembly, they are weary of the tactics of the joint opposition to destabilize the economy and frustrate the works of the government. The signing of the security initiative is a great one for the country and should be embraced by all in Parliament. Its time the joint opposition shy away from partisan politics and work along with the government towards the development of the country.

 As I often ask, who appointed you spokes person for the Guyanese citizenry? You may cast the drive to get to the bottom of the rape of our nation's assets by a cabal of thieves in the PPP aristocracy as hindering "progress" but you are being called to answer.  The way things are done can never be the same. A bunch of sticky fingers corruptocrats cannot continue to have un-checked access to the nations till. Progress is never defined as the possession of absolute power.  We know where that leads and can see it because so craven are these culprits they do not care to flaunt the obscene wealth that are the products of their pillage. No, progress is not the dominion of the PPP. It is in the mutual decision making of the citizens of the state and they voted  for it when the cast the majority  to be other than the PPP.

The Guyanese Populace are of the strong opinion, the time has some for the joint opposition to embrace the security initiatives by the Government, its time the joint opposition put partisan politics aside.

Listen to the dumbest of them all OLD Man counsee.  Isn't Oscar Clarke a Guyanese deserving of a safe environment like Leslie Ramsammy?  Or are some pig more equal than others like in the Animal Farm?
