The PPP’s lies and deception continues in Berbice

Dear Editor,

It is with great concern that I am penning this letter to your news paper. This is because of what has been happening here in Berbice, both Regions 5 and 6 by the opposition party the PPP.On Monday we heard as usual lies coming from the vice chairman of region 6 once more telling the people of Berbice that Dr. Ramayya walk off the job and left the region in turmoil. He said that the REO was not granted leave and therefore he left the work. He further said that the region or those in authority did not received any letter from the Ministry of Communities that the REO was granted leave.
The PPP must stop lie to the people of Berbice just to keep their support that is falling apart. We all know that Dr. Ramayya is a threat to the PPP because over the years he have made tremendous inroads into their support base. So they will lie like hell to make their supporters believe that the man walk out of the region.
I know Dr. Ramayya and can assure all especially my brothers and sisters in region 6 that Dr. Ramayya will never let you down. He will stand up for the true and correct thing and because of that he is being made a target. Some feel that the man was a walk over but maybe the VC does not know that he is dealing with a stone wall and it’s not wise to pelt a rubber ball towards the wall and expects for it to pass through.
So the lies will not stop the good REO from doing his work and the VC and PPP should publicly apologize to the man for lying on him publicly. If the VC is a man of truth and his word let him do the right thing which PPP mostly fail to do.
This now bring me to Region 5 and the nasty work of the PPP and its Regional Chairman. As a APNU+AFC Regional Councilor I am ashamed of the tricks, lies and deception now being played by the chairman and his so-called advisers at Bath freedom House.
In June 2015 when the RDC held its first meeting to elect Chairman and Vice Chair, it was decided by the council that the RDC Statutory Meeting will be held every third Thursday of the month. However, the chairman now wants to change the council decision and set the meeting when he wants.
I have received a letter of invitation from the Clerk of the council Mr. Ovid Morrison dated July 14th, 2017 inviting me to attend the RDC Statutory Meeting on Thursday 21st, July 2017 at the RDC boardroom from 10am.
The minutes of the last RDC Statutory meeting that was held on the 16th June, 2017 was also attached to the letter of invitation. However, on the 19th of July, 2017 I have received yet another letter. The letter bears the letterhead of the Regional Chairman and it states that he will like to inform me that at the last RDC Statutory Meeting which was held on June 23rd, 2017 the council has decided to change the date of the Statutory Meeting from the third Thursday to the fourth Thursday of the month.
I will like to inform the PPP Regional Chairman that according to the last minutes the date of the RDC Statutory meeting was 16th June, 2017 and not 23rd June, 2017 as he has mention. According to the minutes of the legal Statutory meeting the council made no should decision to change the date of the RDC Statutory Meeting and therefore I, Abel Seetaram will not adhere to his nasty request for his party personal gains.
How can a leader such as the Regional Chairman deceived his own people and more over lie to the people of the region. He is also now putting the council to sanction him once again for lies and deception and more over for Changing Statutory Meetings without the council Knowledge.
The PPP must advice the chairman better he cannot do things without the council approval and he must adhere to council decisions at all times. What he had on the 23rd June, 2017 was a PPP meeting.
I called on all the councillors to denounce this type of dictatorship coming from PPP and its leadership. We must stand against such narrow minded person that wants to act without councils approval and we must stand up to dictators. I don’t believe that the chairman has any authority to call two statutory meeting in one month. He need better advice. The PPP must stop the lies and deception that it is continuing in Berbice.

Abel Seetaram
APNU+AFC Councilor
Region 5.
