Kwayana is himself the most divisive figure in Guyanese history

Oct 27, 2020 Letters

Dear Editor,

Kindly allow me to respond to Mr. Eusi Kwayana’s letter of October 23, 2020 in the KN.
Trust Mr. Kwayana writing from the USA to find fault with President Janet Jagan’s record of service to Guyanese on the occasion of the issuing of a commemorative stamp in her honour. Mr. Kwayana just loves to sling mud at Mrs. Jagan. He forgets she was democratically elected with 55 percent of the votes in 1997 – the highest any President ever got in Guyana. She was in fact the first female Guyanese Prime Minister and the first female President of Guyana. Mr. Kwayana sought to diminish her achievements as a female pioneering politician. Can he name who eclipsed her record?
As if the kettle is blaming the pot for a black bottom, Mr. Kwayana is himself the most divisive figure in Guyana’s history. He has never repudiated his advocacy for the partitioning of Guyana nor has he ever accounted for his dubious pre-knowledge of the 1964 Wismar massacre which he could have prevented but which he did not. Mr. Kwayana is no saint.
How ironic that the American born Mrs. Jagan left the comfort of the USA to live and die in Guyana while today her tormentor Mr. Kwayana’s home is now America.

Yours truly,
Vassan Ramracha
