DEAR EDITOR,
It is evidently noted that there is a political eclipse over the atmosphere in Guyana. In order to vigorously address the political, economic and social problems in the country, effective and efficient leadership is necessary.
Ordinary Guyanese cannot understand why the leadership of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) is wilfully side-lining one of their indomitable leaders — Moses Verasammy Nagamootoo — at a time when the country is in a serious crisis.
Cde. Moses, as a party stalwart, has worked tremendously at all levels in the PPP, and never made any attempt to damage the PPP, even when he had the opportunity to do so, like Khemraj Ramjattan.
When the dream of the late, great father-of-the nation, Dr. Cheddi Jagan, comes true, which is that Cde. Moses will be the President of Guyana, all our peoples will be rewarded with racial and political unity, economic prosperity, social cohesion, and international respect.
Under Cde. Moses’s presidency of Guyana, all Guyanese will be able to breathe a sigh of relief that eventually all crimes, including racism, corruption, favouritism, murders and robberies, will be significantly reduced when he is in office.
This unity will span all areas of national life, including the trades union movement. The Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) and the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Guyana (FITUG) will heal their wounds and become one.
Although Cde. Moses embodies all these qualities, the PPP hierarchical cabal has been strategically side-lining and muzzling him.
This is because those at the top-bracket of the PPP know that the grassroots members love and support Cde. Moses, as they do Dr. Jagan.
I call on Cde. General Secretary Donald Ramotar to publicly say why Cde. Moses is not being given major roles in the upcoming PPP Congress.
Traditionally, he has always chaired a committee or a session at congress. However, for this congress, the most loved, respected and revered PPP leader who is alive today is being ostracized for the aggrandizement of a motley few bent on holding their grip on party power, state power, and all its materialistic, administrative and influential leverage-trappings.
Time for change, time to rebuild, so that we can strengthen the party, secure the nation and accelerate development.
But these can only happen with Cde. Moses at the helm, because it was Cde. Cheddi who had long told residents in the Rupununi, at several meetings, that Cde. Moses “is the man to take over and bring harmony to the Guyanese people.”
