Dear Editor
Kaieteur News – After the attempted rigging of Guyana’s 2020 elections, democracy was restored by decent minded citizens and the International Observers especially CARICOM. Yet, the APNU+AFC are peddling a false narrative that democracy was stolen from them, and the democratically elected PPP/C Government of Guyana was installed by foreign powers. If the APNU+AFC feels so strongly about it, why did they not continue in Government? Is it because their American Visas were more important?
The failure of the APNU+AFC experiment in government was that they really did not have a clue on how to take the country forward. Who can forget the pre-2015 election promise that sugar was too big to fail, yet they turned around and sacked thousands of poor Guyanese people? Or the rice farmers are private business, so they are on their own? Or telling people to become entrepreneurs when people lacked skills and financial resources to do so?
So, the story goes: the APNU+AFC told Guyanese that the PPP/C were corrupt pre-2015 then when they got into power they did audits, only to find out there was no widespread corruption. Oh yeah, the APNU+AFC reduced VAT from 16 percent to 14 percent only to increase taxes in other areas and taxed previously exempt goods and services. How much of that VAT reduction was actually passed onto Guyanese? Then the PNC led APNU+AFC operated more on sound bites rather than sound policies. Much like they are doing today with their false claims of the theft of democracy.
Yours faithfully,
Sean Ori
