Ramotar has stolen democracy

Dear Editor,

Reprobates have legitimately stolen democracy by discontinuing to meet in parliament. Prorogation! No sitting of the opposition-controlled National Assembly.
A band of cowards has chosen a dictatorial path to rulership, rather than face parliamentary scrutiny. The choice made yesterday by PPP/C has irreparably damaged its future. The ruling party has chosen methods it decried; the same methods used by our colonial master, Britain, to usurp the will of the people, to sanction what type of governance we as Guyanese had wanted in October 1953.
Just a mere 61 years ago Cheddi Jagan, the then elected Premier of then British Guiana, had the election overturned by the prorogation of parliament and thence turfed from power! The oppressed has become the oppressor.
This very act denounced and repudiated by the predecessors of the current rulers is now being deployed. They must not have been acquainted with their history or they have blatantly chosen to ride roughshod over their electorate.
This dastardly act has cemented a rule by decree for the next six or a possibly 10 months. In essence the rule by this Minority President Donald Ramotar and his cronies will go unchecked. They can do what they want.
It is up to all citizens of this great land, as our forefather did, to rise up, stand up and emerge from our apathetic coma in order to put a halt to this blight on this nation of ours.
