This government had an opportunity to stand above petty politics but they are hell bent in engaging in confrontational politics. Tell the many East Indians who lost their daily bread that Cheddi Jagan did the same in the pass so you must now experience hunger, tell the family of Walter Rodney that he committed suicide and that the dogs of war were actually award winning heroes. This East Indian here or in the words of these dogs of war "just a koolie " will never fall for that.

Only a FOOL would think you can TRUST the PNC . Look waht they did to Al YUh stupid FOOLS, promised AL YUh all sorts of glories only to enslave Al YUh stupid FOOLS!!!!!!!!!

Dear Editor,

Powerful countries have often demanded that other countries behave towards them in accordance with the dictum ‘Do as I say, not as I do’. Within recent times the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) appears to have adopted that dictum with an adaptation of the language to read: ‘Do as I say now, not as I did then’. The following four citations are illustrative.

1. PPP General Secretary and former Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee has called on Minister Khemraj Ramjattan to resign. However, after the National Assembly passed a motion of no confidence in Mr Rohee as Minister of Home Affairs, neither he nor the then government took action to comply with the motion.
2. Member of Parliament Gail Teixeira recently implored the government to treat fairly those heads of mission appointed by the PPP/C administration whose contracts were not renewed, presumably to avoid the treatment meted out by Dr Cheddi Jagan’s government to Cedric Grant, Ronald Austin and others.
3. Former President Donald Ramotar has called for the release (rightly so) of the forensic audits. But what did he do with the NCN (fraud?) report? Was it even released? Was it ever acted upon?
4. There is incessant chatter about witch-hunting and victimisation. Do the chatterers remember Clarence Chue, whose reinstatement to office was ordered by the courts but ignored by the Cheddi Jagan government as was the court decision to hold a by-election in Houston three decades before Chue’s ordeal. And there were others beside Chue.

I am told that sometime in the past when people misbehaved, they were required or advised, as appropriate, to “take a bath with blue” (or bathe in blue-water). This option is available for use by any political stakeholder. As for the PPP, if the idea of a bath in blue is not appealing, that party may wish to consider establishing a truce with the politics of division and confrontation and adopt the politics of cooperation. Such a truce can develop a life of its own and be habit forming. It may also induce other political stakeholders to follow suit. Courage and a new vision are required. This would be a fitting gift from the oldest political party to the Guyanese people on the 50th anniversary of independence.

Yours faithfully,

Rashleigh E Jackson

Don't care what kind of minister he was. He is a PNC thug. He should have been Sanitation Minister.

We led the independence movement in the Caribbean and ended up being losers under the PNC. Whatever prestige Guyana had before independence was destroyed during the Burnham years.  Rasleigh was part and parcel of that regime which governed undemocratically and wrecked the economy to basket case.

Oii Billy if we continue harping on the past and don't instigate the living politicians to mend fences,Guyana will not progress.

The sins of the past are revisiting Guyana as we speak!

And remember, those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it!!

Base,seriously if the Coalition Government don't perform to uplift the Guyanese people [they lost my moral support] i prefer to see periodic changes in government for Guyana.

Kabaka is not dead.  Look at how many people in the current government have their roots to the Kabaka and is carrying out his wishes.  The Grangers, Burnhams, Jacksons, Gaskins, and others are one big royal family.  Their children marry each other and they know their mission!!

Your sister made a good choice to live in France.  It is a good country for mixed race and blended families.  I am sure she is happier there than living in Guyana where she would have been hung on a cross.  Good for her, she has to live her life.

The PPP engaged in the politics of divisiveness in what they did to PNC appointees after 1992.  They further engaged in divisiveness when they forced black senior civil servants to retire, upon attaining 55, and refused to appoint others, in both instances hurting their pensions.

So why does the PPP suddenly have so much mouth now that THEY claim that they are suffering what THEY did to Afro Guyanese over their 23 years of ethnically based TYRANNY!

We led the independence movement in the Caribbean

Jamaica had universal adult sufferage in 1944.  Eric Williams was very active long before either Cheddi or Burnham. Trinidad was also active before any one knew about the existence of the PPP.

And many of the people who were initially involved with the PPP were chased out when it became the brown bai KKK.

The PNC has as much claim to be involved in that as does the PPP!  Do you know that the women's group which Janet was involved with, was active BEFORE she arrived in Guyana?  And what of stalwarts like Critchlow?  No credit?

Listen go haul your brown bai KKK crap!
