Palmer’s prejudicial dabbling in local politics discredits DFID

MR. Joseph Harmon, an APNU/PNC Member of the Sectoral Committee on Natural Resources wants the Hon. Minister of Natural Resources to answer questions at the next committee meeting on matters raised by Janette Bulkan and John Palmer in their five-part series on the Guyana Forestry Commission’s 2005-2012 Annual Reports (SN Tuesday 4th Feb, 2014).The questions are: who is John Palmer and is he a citizen of Guyana? Why is he interested in the GFC’s reports to make comments and raise questions? Palmer is a British citizen now living in Florida, USA. He worked for the British Government in Guyana through the department for International Development (DFID) some years ago and has teamed up with misguided anti-Government elements like Janette Bulkan to engage in wicked machinations against the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC).
But Palmer has turned his back against Great Britain where Democracy, Good Government,the Rule of law and responsible political leadership prevail and has opted, in alliance with his partner Bulkan, to support the APNU/PNC, which massively rigged elections and ruled if not misruled Guyana with a fascist fist until 1992 when the PNC was kicked out of illegal office through free and fair elections that brought a new beginning to Guyana through the restoration of Democracy, Good Governance and the Rule of Law.
Palmer is now questioning the GFC’s reports in alliance with his forest partner Bulkan, which he never did when the illegal and fascist PNC dictatorship misruled Guyana and never submitted GFC reports from 1979-1991 to Parliament. He never wrote about the lack of accountability for the Forestry Sector under the illegal PNC regime, now APNU because he was in agreement with its corrupt policies. This shows as well where Palmer has turned his back against Great Britain where Good Governance is concerned; and he must be condemned by British citizens for blatant hypocrisy and for being opportunistic.
Great Britain has always been and continues to be a good friend to Guyana, providing significant development assistance through its Department for International Development (DFID), even sending one of its sons John Palmer to work in Guyana. Palmer, however, has turned his back on Great Britain and is now on a road to nowhere, being a victim of Osmotic pressure.
