Dear Editor,
The PNC with all its flaws is still a far more democratic organization than the PPP. The PNC dared to have a primary while the PPP dared not. After 19 years in office the PPP is so scared of its own records that it spends 90 percent of its time telling Guyanese what the country was like 25 years ago. Much of what the leaders say is often lies or twisted versions to suit their own ends.
Not even in South Africa does the ANC refer so often to the apartheid system which held people in virtual subhuman conditions for decades. The PPP has developed the strategy of blaming Burnham for everything.
When Mr. Jagdeo came to office by the decree of his party, Guyana suffered a great injustice. Had the PPP been democratic, Moses Nagamotoo, a far more competent person and politician, most likely would have emerged as the successor. However, the PPP did not care about democracy and foisted Bharrat Jagdeo, a very vengeful and visionless politician, on the nation. Now again, instead of opening up the field so that we may have the best people in service, Mr. Jagdeo, true to form has handpicked Donald Ramotar.
The average Guyanese who is interested in politics knows that Ramkarran and Nagamotoo, as well as several others in the PPP would make far better leaders than Ramotar. It seems therefore that Mr. Jagdeo is fearful of having fair play in his own party as well as in the country.
As the longsuffering Guyanese nation goes to the polls on November 28, I hope they would reject this nonsensical fear mongering of this PPP cabal and vote issues rather than fear or propaganda. As for Donald Ramotar, this man seems to stand for nothing. He seems quite content to follow Jagdeo without opinion or vision. He seems basically clueless.
On the question of scholarship, we have noticed a concerted effort to attack Brigadier Granger’s record and reputation. Informed Guyanese know full well that neither Jagdeo nor Ramotar is any match for Brigadier Granger’s intellect.
Mr. Jagdeo who attended the Patrice Lumumba University has not even written an article but to attack Brigadier Granger who has written several books speaks to his ignorance. We invite people to Google the college and find out that it was a university of no real serious rating. It was what could be called an unranked university where all who attended had passing grades whether or not they attended classes.
I was informed that Russian citizens do not attend this University mainly because of its poor image. If fact, it was established by the former Soviet Union during the Cold War to provide scholarships to students in Third World socialist countries.
As for Minister of Agriculture Robert Persaud, who has also been on the attack recently, he is said to have done a six-month correspondence course from a college of little or no reputation. Any six-month Masters of Business Administration (MBA) programme done online is highly questionable. Let him tell the public the name of the university so that we may check it out.
As Jagdeo is about to leave office, he leaves the country in tatters. He is like a neutron bomb. He would have left buildings standing but the patriotic spirit of the Guyanese people would have been destroyed by his visionless, insensitive and immoral leadership.

Why the first sentence is bull Moses Nagamootoo was a more senior member of the ppp than Jagdeo and was anointed as leader Sam Hinds according to the constitution of Guyana which takes precedence over any political party constitution should have been the President of Guyana after Jagan died when Burnham died power was immediately passed on to Hoyte so indeed the PNC with it numerous flaws is far more democratic.

It is known that many people "wrote" books; high school drop outs, movie stars with no academic bacground, comedians,clowns and many others who have never seenn a school door. So to tell people that Granger "has written several books" is meaningless. TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT HIS ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS ARE?
