– accuses PNCR of trying to present him as a ‘Sunday School boy’
THE People’s Progressive Party (PPP) said it has noted the attempt by the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) to distance its Presidential Candidate Mr. David Granger from his role as one of the chief enforcers of its party paramountcy ideology during his rule of the army in the 1970s.

“Granger is now pretending to be innocent to his participation in the loss of lives in the Berbice Martyrs and rigged elections in Guyana during the PNC regime,” the PPP said in a statement yesterday.

“It is blatant dishonesty for Granger and the PNCR to now deny his involvement in these well documented and despicable acts which stripped Guyanese of their dignity,” the PPP added.

It said the PNCR is “trying to present Granger as a Sunday ‘school boy’ knowing fully-well that, by his own admittance of holding a 40-year membership in the PNC, he loyally carried out the biddings of the PNC Administration.”

According to the PPP, Granger’s entire career in the army was replete with professional misconduct as an accomplice to numerous oppressive and retrogressive policies during the dictatorial rule of the PNC.

The PPP said it is convinced that no amount of window-dressing could cloud the reality of Granger’s tainted character as the undertaker of the PNC’s biddings, during a period that is still recorded as Guyana’s most brutal,during which the PNC dictatorial regime survived on the rigging of elections, intimidation and the muzzling of the press.

“Granger is a bad role model to our young generation as he was part and parcel of the PNC scheme to destroy the institutional integrity of our state,” the PPP charged.

“He should stop hiding behind Corbin and answer for his contribution to the atrocities of the PNC regime,” the PPP urged.
