Dear Editor,
THE People’s Progressive Party (PPP) is playing dangerous games and the government must be vigilant. While we understand the role of the Opposition, we must be able to differentiate between constructive and destructive opposition. Let it be clear that the PPP is almost at the point of clutching at straws as they are aware of the amount of dirt that the malfeasance investigations have revealed on the former government. They are aware of the damage that could be done to the party, but are even more concerned for their freedom.
It is in this context that the PPP operates. To paint the nation’s current existence as doom and gloom, danger and despair to take the attention off their wrongdoings.
For example, it makes no sense procrastinating on the Volda Lawrence emergency drug purchase which the PPP media, Citizen’s Report, Inews et al, have described as a scandal. During the PPP’s reign, many party associates became very rich going into various business sectors. The health sector was no different. Many suppliers are hacks with little to no experience in acquiring drugs, fronting for someone else, and running rackets. These are the same PPP associates providing drugs today and colluding to control the sector. In fact, it is no secret that the PPP created and enriched handpicked Indian business people to 1) outnumber Blacks and decrease their economic power and 2) ensure that even if the party were not in government, they’d remain in power, since the top brass within every sector would be connected to the PPP.
This is why we have the Private Sector Commission behaving like it is at war with the government. They were fully aware of the underground economy that existed and benefited immensely from it, so they complain about the new measures. Of the many corrupt acts of the PPP, they are being questioned about one so far: Pradoville 2 and are already crying. While Jagdeo has activated his immunity as former president, others are already willing to pay the difference for the stolen properties. The party is complaining about a celebratory drink they claim the British High Commission, SOCU and government officials had following the arrest of PPP members. They say it is collusion.
The former Attorney General Anil Nandlall is constantly on Berbice radio spewing racist messages about the ‘Black government’ wanting to erase the PPP and ultimately Indian power. He has been on the radio calling for Indians to protest, and to come out with their combines and tractors, while Jagdeo after his arrest has started numerous outreaches to garner party support against any further arrests pertaining to the Pradoville 2 investigation. Since the DPP is part of the Pradoville investigation, she cannot advise on the file. However, the police legal advisor is taking her precious time perusing the case file against her “PPP friends.” The distractions will become plentiful if the government is to go ahead with the “hundreds” of inconsistencies found during PPP’s reign
