Dear Editor,
Albeit, for reasons which may not be obscure, at long last, a matter for which I was pilloried by President Hugh Desmond Hoyte and that section of the PNC, which had his unconditional support has surfaced.
I refer to a news report that Mr. Ralph Ramkarran has called for the restoration of the “overseas vote.”
He argues that the Constitution gives the right to every Guyanese to vote, irrespective of place of abode. As a layman, right or wrong, that was always my undertaking and so argued.
I tried to persuade Mr. Hoyte to deal fully with the expressed concerns of the then opposition as it related to overseas voting and pleaded to neither yield to the importunity of former US President, Jimmy Carter, nor deny Guyanese abroad their right to vote in National Elections.
If, as it appears, this matter will again attract the attention of the political machinery, at least, I feel vindicated and take comfort, long after being victimized within the Party, that history will absolve me for being militant on this and other issues at the time.
“Great minds seek to labour for eternity, all other men are captivated by immediate advantage; great minds are excited by the prospect of distant good.”
History has a puckish way of repeating itself – will someone now listen to a patriot?
Hamilton Green, J.P.
