I have been keeping abreast with the exchange between Boyo Ramsaroop and Dr. Randy Persaud and from the ‘conversations’ the fact remains that Mr. Ramsaroop left the PPP for his own reasons and should accept the fact that others chose to remain.

From the tone of Mr. Ramsaroop’s letter it seems that he is bitter and it makes me wonder at his statement that he didn’t seek anything from the Party. If indeed this is true, then why would the gentleman be bitter toward the party which he chose to leave?

He has given us the reason for his bitterness which he explained is because he sought to have what he felt was corruption within and without the party to be addressed. However, it is being touted and believed that Mr. Ramsaroop sought to acquire more land to expand his horticulture enterprise but this was not approved. Is this the real reason behind his bitterness?

We can all look at the Freddie Kissoon case where he had requested duty free concession and that a candidate of his choice be appointed Vice Chancellor of the University of Guyana and none of these were approved. Hence, Freddie’s bitterness was magnified and took on mammoth proportions.

I believe that Mr. Ramsaroop is bitter just because his request was denied and he was of the opinion that having been a part of the party for so long, he should have been entitled to having his request approved. Party loyalty and all that but there is news for Mr. Ramsaroop, the days of Party paramountcy are long gone. Thankfully Government does not give away state resources to party members as rewards for being with the party for years.
