DEAR EDITOR,
Over the past few weeks many of us have witnessed the PPP’s machinery in overdrive and trying to create a rift within APNU. The intention it seems, is to put Mr. Granger against Mr. Greenidge or vice versa.
Writer after writer seem to claim that Mr. Greenidge is an upstart and that Mr. Granger should discipline him to show who is in charge. To many of us, this is a ploy which could only succeed if the leadership of APNU is foolish enough to allow it to happen. Mr. Granger has his style and so does Mr. Greenidge, but the party needs leaders with different approaches to policy-making and not like the “group think” PPP.
Unlike the rigid PPP, APNU seems flexible, in that it allows its members to be creative. This is why for the past few weeks, there were 16 articles written by a battery of PPP writers trying their best to create a rift between these two men. But the leaders of APNU should be wise enough and not allow the PPP or anyone else to dictate what they should or should not do or what is good or bad for the party and its members’ interest.
Almost every Guyanese knows that Mr. Ramotar lacks confidence and is essentially controlled by Mr. Jagdeo and the PPP cabal. He can do nothing with the cabinet he inherited even though he might be completely frustrated with the corrupt practices of the rancid bunch. People who happen to be in attendance at any function where both Mr. Ramotar and Mr. Jagdeo are present have testified of Jagdeo’s disrespect towards Ramotar. However, these writers, from the PPP’s camp have become so power drunk with the benefits of this gravy train, they will not whisper one word against this disrespectful relationship. If they do, they will be disciplined or perhaps suspended from the party.
APNU with its flaws is still more democratic than the uncaring, selfish, corrupt and dictatorial PPP. I believe what the PPP writers want is for Mr. Granger to attack Mr. Greenidge thereby demoralizing him so that he becomes discouraged and stops performing. When this is done, they become the winners because they would have gained a free pass on all financial issues and corrupt practices. Once they are finished with Mr. Greenidge, the next man in line for this same kind of action would be Joe Harmon and the other more vocal members of APNU.
While I do not speak for APNU, I hope that its leadership continues to present a strong and united front in all undertakings. If even there are internal elections, the candidates should compete fiercely. But as soon as the campaign is over every ounce of energy must be committed to the defeat of this oppressive regime.
Brother Carl, I hope you continue to perform and to APNU’s leadership, may I remind you to be aware of the guile, deception, distortion, misinformation and all the other old tricks which are part of the tools of this debased regime.
