DEAR EDITOR,
APNU Leader and Presidential Candidate David Granger is reported to have said during a recent interview with the Stabroek News that there is nothing to apologise about during the period when all national and regional elections were massively and blatantly rigged by his party, the PNC.
Does Mr. Moses Nagamootoo, his Prime Ministerial running mate, share those views and sentiments expressed by his political boss now that the AFC has become an integral part of the Granger-led coalition?
The issue goes way beyond that of rigged elections but spanned an entire reign of terror, as the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry so forcefully reminded us.
Several lives were lost in the struggle for democracy, scores of opposition members and supporters tortured, jailed, victimised and harassed, not to mention the shattered dreams of countless Guyanese, all because of the insatiable greed for power by the PNC regime
It is clear from the interview given by Granger that the PNC has no intention whatsoever to make a break from its dictatorial past and embrace a new approach to politics based on truth and reconciliation and an acceptance of the norms of democracy as the basis for governance.
All the talk of a government of national unity is shallow and meaningless unless there is a willingness to accept responsibility for past misdeeds, something which Granger and the PNC seem reluctant to do.
