DEAR EDITOR,
I think the President did this act (prorogued Parliament) because his PPP/C government is in such a mess as a result of the numerous financial, political and social scandals, that he cannot face the electorate at this time. But all His Excellency has done is delay the inevitable; the PPP will lose more seats in the next Parliament as soon as it presents itself to the people.
The PPP has a history of being extremely tardy and unyielding in political dialogue and that is why I commend the AFC for their consistent political position of “no talks until the constitutional mandate is satisfied by the PPP”. Only a novice and politically unintelligent leader will run to the Office of the President to talk to such an unrighteous and disrespectful government. Do those who control the PPP and their step relatives in the PNC, think the people are politically unintelligent and are not aware of what is going on?
One only has to remember the Herdmanston Accord from 1998 and one will see that the PPP had “dilly-dallied” on its implementation for years. Why does the APNU leadership think that in 2014, the PPP will be any different? But it is all a political dance, as the PPP and their step relatives in the PNC continue this political tango.
One has to remind oneself that it was only in October 2014 that the APNU leadership found themselves in the Office of the President? To do what exactly?
Guyana has a political conflict and it can only be de-escalated if both sides do what they promised the people politically. Talks are a waste of time; political action is vitally essential. The PPP’s failure to deliver should never be rewarded with talks but real political action. The most effective political tool an oppressed people has against a cruel government like the PPP/C government, is street action or the ballot box. Let the people have the choice.
Guyana is very fortunate to have the determined and politically consistent AFC who again and again has forced the PPP’s hand, in light of the mediocre politics coming out of Congress Place. In this era of prorogation of parliament, it is the AFC who has to take leadership and become the torch bearer for the people.
In this era of political games between the PPP and APNU, I feel confident that the majority of taxpaying voters will vote to “turf” Ramotar and his PPP from office. But the Guyanese people have to be careful, because exchanging the PPP for the APNU/PNC, based on their collective 50 years history of mal-administration, is a sub-optimal option. We cannot replace a corrupt, incompetent and unrighteous PPP regime – that operate as if the Treasury was bequeathed to them by their parents – with a political party that has a history of “crunching the institutions of democracy” and has no respect for one man, one vote as Lord Avery told the world when he observed one of Guyana’s elections under the PNC regime.
It would be the gravest of political mistakes to continue this 50-year record of mal-administration, blatant ballot box fraud (under the PNC) and wholesale theft from the Treasury (under the PPP).
Time for a new kind of politics. We all must feel assured that there are thousands of Guyanese with talent, both in and out of Guyana, along with most western governments, who will support an AFC government with an agenda of unleashing the nation’s potential.
Enough is enough! The political dinosaurs must go!
