NOW HE IS TOTALLY IN HOPING FOR A BIG POSITION SHOULD THE PNC WINS. DESPITE BEING DISRECPECTED AND SHAME BY GRANGER HE IS WILLING TO KISS ASS AND WASH BATTY!!!
Stabroek News sarcoma: I warned Guyanese
I stopped eating turkey meat because I was afraid with the large number of turkeys in Guyana masquerading as citizens, I may end up eating human flesh. In one episode on the radio show, ‘The Hot Seat’, I told my host, Stan Gouveia, it was just a matter of time when this government will victimise people with employment dismissals, criminal charges or even physical violence.
After the removal of David Hinds and Lincoln Lewis from the Chronicle, it was pellucid and graphic to the nation – APNU+AFC leaders were fraudulent democrats. They are not far from the house of horrors the nation saw under the PPP.
I kept reading and hearing people uttering constantly the words to the effect that the bad times are over and this government does not victimise, jail, and kill critics like the PPP did. I kept my assertion that these were early times yet; they are only a few years in power and that the PPP in its early years didn’t harm anyone.
Moreover, I insisted countless times in these columns that we must at all time contextualise the Chronicle incident with Hinds and Lewis.
President Granger is no democrat. He comes across as a politician that will not rise above the indignities of the past seventy years of sordid ethnic and political rivalry. If you want to see the real instincts of Mr. Granger, then read what he did to his own APNU partner, the WPA, last week.
I am contending, using all my decades of activism and university training, that it was the WPA”s bold symbolism of joining in the PNC in 2011 under the title “APNU” that caused the PNC to recapture the five parliamentary seats it lost under Corbin in the 2006 elections. The WPA’s symbolism made Granger acceptable to African Guyanese in 2011.
Now read what Granger did to the WPA. Addressing an audience of African Guyanese, in an undiplomatic assault on the WPA’s request for cash transfer from oil revenue, he advanced the position that his government will spend money on education not on giving cash, handouts or vouchers and they must not expect these things.
The WPA is his party’s APNU partner in government. The least he could have done out of courtesy, was to avoid any mention of the cash transfer.
David Hinds and I are personal friends for over forty years. Whenever he comes to Guyana, we “ground.” He came in last week, and I didn’t know. I got a call the morning saying he was leaving the very morning and he would like to say goodbye.
I was with my dog on the seawall so he came. I told him in blunt language that Granger’s remarks were directed to him.
He said he knew but he is concerned with Guyana and not personal issues and would continue to campaign for the APNU+AFC because it is a better alternative to the PPP. Here for the umpteenth time is my inflexible position – the PPP, PNC and AFC are not the people to lead this country.
In a majority government, PPP or APNU+AFC will continue to destroy Guyana. The voters need to create a minority presidency to exert democratic pressure on them.
What is there to be said about the withdrawal of state advertisement from the Stabroek News? What analysis can I produce that would include news insights about this regime that are not in countless other pieces? Am I surprised at what happened to the Stabroek News? The answer is no. If these autocrats are returned in a winner-take-all formula in March, the Kaieteur News will be targeted too.
There is not even an infinitesimal space in my mind that has doubts about the authoritarian directions of the PNC and AFC leaders if they capture power again in March 2020. Then their true colours will glow even brighter.
The turkeys will keep gobbling. They will continue to say that the APNU-AFC is not as bad as the PPP, critics are free to criticise, Granger is good president, the government is not corrupt, there are no acts of ethnic discrimination.
If these turkeys can openly endorse flagrant violations of the constitution by Granger then what do you think they will say about the Stabroek News’s accusation? You can predict what Nagamootoo will say. He will deny it and the Stabroek News will be deemed a liar. In effect, he called the then chairman of the Chronicle board, Geeta Chandan, a liar when he brought back Sherod Duncan as GM of the
