Dear Editor:
THE Guyana Private Sector Commission (PSC) has transformed itself into a PPP political support group and PPP mouthpiece.
It has endorsed the PPP in the no-confidence vote battle. The positions espoused by the PSC on the no-confidence vote demonstrate its contempt for the government and its right to seek redress and justice through the judicial process.

The PSC has joined with the PPP to undermine our democracy. Its open hostility towards the APNU+AFC coalition government is unprecedented. No country in the world would tolerate a not-for-profit private sector advocacy group being an open political, anti-government activist. In fact, this is unlawful in Western democracies for not-for-profit entities to engage in partisan politics.

The PSC’s overt, anti-government policies and politics will, and should, ferment boycotts of businesses owned by its decision-makers. This must hurt their pockets and profitability. Business owners who oppose politicisation of the PSC should speak up and pull out from this political entity. Break it up! Form your own parallel private sector organisation that will be truly independent and devoid of partisan politics. The PSC is a political party. Treat it as such. BREAK IT UP!

Regards
Rickford Burke
