MAY I congratulate the Honourable Clement Rohee, General Secretary of the PPP, for his position to improve PPP’s chances at the next general elections by replacing the CIVIC with a new list of Political Progressives and Independents.Consequently, I wish to recommend to the PPP General Secretary that he takes the first step now. Recommend to President Ramotar that he appoints a progressive and independent person to the post of Minister of Local Government.
At the same time, organize local government elections as soon as possible, and ensure that local, progressive and independent non-PPP folks are the majority on the PPP list.
Should the PPP do this now, then it will signal to the electorate that when its General Secretary speaks , we must take him seriously. Further, that he does not only talk the talk, but walks the walk. If this is implemented then it will hold out a better chance for a big PPP victory when national and Presidential elections are held.
