Dear Editor,
For 365 days of the year, Cheddi Jagan’s values are bashed and trampled upon by the leaders of the Jagdeo / Ramotar cabal. They are the main architects of squander-mania, unchecked corruption, procurement of medical supplies by their special friends at six times the real market value with little care for the real bread and butter issues of the people. With the Jagdeo / Ramotar cabal, hypocrisy prevails!
These hypocrites take time off from their ALI BABISM and run up to Babu John like contemptible charlatans and snake oil salesmen to preach the virtues of Cde. Cheddi. Who do they think they are fooling? What they are not telling the people is that they are the ones who continue to bury Jagan legacy and the principles on which the PPP were founded into the dustbins of history. Today, it is clear for everyone to see that all Cde. Cheddi stood for have been completely destroyed by the nouveau riche Freedom House gang. This heartless and greedy gang’s only concern is how to use the state resources to benefit themselves, relatives and business buddies and not about improving the lives of the people or about the development of Guyana.
What we continue to observe is that evil, greed, selfishness and the cuss-down behavior continue to invade these people brains every March at Babu John Holy Shrine where they distort the facts about the Burnham regime and spew more empty and hypocritical rhetoric. If anyone knows the General Secretary of the PPP, he was not like his predecessor, whose lack of pedigree facilitates the “mud march” every time his intellect abandons him. So it was somewhat of a surprise to many to see the General Secretary of the PPP engaging in the “Jagdeo” mud march at Babu John so much so that it was even repulsive to the former PPP stalwart Ralph Ramkarran. Ramotar’s cuss-down of Moses Nagamootoo and Maxwell clearly shows that he did not learn anything from the Guyanese people in 2011?
In 2011, the voters penalized that party for the mass corruption in Government and the yard fowl behavior of the former Presidential Candidate of the PPP. Never again will political and racist rhetoric work with the voters since too many people of them ”belly ah bun.” As a classic reminder of this political reality, while the PPP General Secretary was quacking at Babu John; the sugar workers were on the picket line with their leader Mr. Moses Nagamootoo fighting for their rights to have decent wages and better working conditions.
If the PPP General Secretary wants to attack the critics of the Jagdeo/Ramotar cabal he can pull the rug from under their feet by bringing an end to the wholesale theft in the Government, be it in the Police Force, in the NDIA, in the awarding of contracts, in the procurement of medical supplies in the Ministry of Health and so on. The best form of attack on the critics of the Jagdeo / Ramotar cabal is to establish the Procurement Commission. Jumping up and down on the stage at Babu John like a political DUCK and spewing empty rhetoric will not work anymore with the voters or prevent the critics from attacking the regime. But we have realized that the Jagdeo/Ramotar cabal continues to fool themselves to the point that propaganda, untruths and distortions which have become their modus operandi would over power their critics and lead them to victory in the next elections. We want the Jagdeo/Ramotar cabal to know that these attacks have stemmed from their ingrained failure to lower VAT, increase the old pension, reduce the toll on the Berbice Bridge, arrest and charge those involved in corrupt practices and improve the lives of the people.
For the record, the Alliance for Change (AFC) with a Presidential Candidate like Moses Nagamootoo would never be against the principles of Cheddi Jagan. Rather, the Guyanese people are slowly realizing that the AFC is the only political force that respects and practices the politics of principle that embraces a lean, clean and mean and transparent governance; advocating day in day out for the people, fighting to the end to ensure that the economic divided between the BEES and the poor can be reduced so that they and others who are at the bottom of economic ladder can enjoy more of the fruits from their sweat in the fields, factories and offices.
So wake up Mr. President! It is clear that many on the stage at Babu John on March 3th, 2013 were experiencing deep spates of mental delusion. The AFC is not anti-Jagan at all; it is anti-politics without principles, it is pro-working class, it is pro-respect for the human rights of all Guyanese, it is for pro- Guyanese workers right to work anywhere in Guyana. In the final analysis, the AFC is unlike the Jagdeo/Ramotar cabal. It is for change, equality, justice and freedom for all Guyanese irrespective of their ethnicity or their political persuasion.
So be your own man Mr. President with your own policies and stop being a side kick to your immediate mud marching predecessor. This is not the time for propaganda; this is the time to lead the nation. It is time for you to show Guyanese what you are really capable of and if you really are any better than the mud marcher of the past. It is time for you to move Guyana forward.
