Hardt was merely telling the PPP to stop LGE dilly-dallying
Dear Editor,
Priya Manickchand conducted a public verbal ‘crucifixion’ of the outgoing US Ambassador on the occasion of his Country’s birth Anniversary. However, instead of the crowd shouting ‘crucify him, crucify him’, she ended-up being the one to be virtually stoned by the crowd. She is lucky to have left that auspicious occasion in one piece.
We Guyanese are a peaceful and somewhat docile people. That’s why the present regime continues their fancy gallop in a ‘horse and rider’ relationship with the Guyanese people. Ambassador Hardt has discerned the demagoguery of the rider and has been calling for the holding of Local Government elections. His message is simple, “Stop the dilly-dallying”.
This PPP regime has made an art of dilly-dallying in their brand of democracy. The brand of democracy that is practiced by the PPP Government these past 20 years bears the name tag, “Made in China”. Manickchand’s fierce castigation of the Ambassador is in keeping with the ‘Made in China’ brand, where toeing the line is absolute.
In fact, Minister Manickchand who bears an uncanny resemblance to the Supreme leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, has exposed another deep seated trait of the PPP regime – Neemakaramism. As a child growing up on the West Demerara near the Canals Polder, I would hear both African and Indian Guyanese use the Hindi term ‘neemakaram’ to describe someone who was downright ungrateful. The USA has been Guyana’s main benefactor over the last two decades and deserves our gratitude.
Manickchand’s cantankerous chastisement of the Ambassador makes her the Neemakaram-in-chief of Guyana. Protocol has been severely breeched and the water is troubled.
We are now down to the nitty-gritty. The best apology the majority Parliamentary Opposition can give to President Barrack Obama and Ambassador Brent Hardt, on behalf of the Guyanese people, is to bring the dilly-dallying to an abrupt stop. Guyanese chanted the phrase ‘Yes we can’ long before President Obama adopted it.
