Due must be given where it has been earned. I must say that Guyana’s Vice President is one cunning political operator, one scheming leader, a great pretender of unmatched proportions. When there is examination of the workings of his clever mind, peering closely into his seesawing handiworks, I often shake my head in regret. It is the regret that comes from thinking how far ahead this country would be from where it is, how much the circumstances of the Guyanese people would be surrounded by what speaks to assets well employed, leadership at its principled best, and actions that brook neither argument nor resistance.
