THE PPP should act now like they did against Sharma when threats were aired on his show against former president, Mr Bharrat Jagdeo. The PPP thinks these people are just bluffing and that it is all talks, but you can bet they are deadly serious. 

Here is what is stacked up against the PPP: US,UK, Canada, GHRA, Guyana Bar Association, Guyana Judiciary, Red Thread, Guyana Press Association, Transparency International (Guyana),Caribbean Press Association, CARICOM, PNC/APNU/AFC, Stabroek News, Kaieteur News and other opposition media, who all have linkages to international media, etc.
There is an old saying that says, “Constant banging bring down doors”. So, yes, PPP/C will win every election, but that is all it will do, because it will be stymied at every turn by these bodies, so it will have absolutely no power to do anything else.
SN and KN are popular because the PPP is making them the most popular news media in Guyana because of their non-action over severely libellous articles these papers publish on a regular basis.
To openly call people “thieves” is not freedom of speech anymore, but character assassination, and you have to have proof to call one a thief; if not you could be charged.
When the reporter asked Minister Rohee about the former president and how he got so rich, he should have replied, “Next question, please”, or “Are you asking me about Burnham’s wealth?”
Suing these media houses means nothing, because they know PPP’s cases are not going anywhere until the election term is over; and by that time the case would be closed. But in the meantime, the anti-PPP media will do as much harm to PPP officials as possible.
On Tuesday, Minister Rohee said that public servants are not corrupt, but in the same breath he told the same reporters that he had to set up a website named ‘I paid a bribe’ to catch police and other officials who are corrupt.
‘Uncle Adam’ then asked if he does not want to ask his colleagues how they moved from rags to riches; but the Minister should have asked Harris how Glen Lall moved from rags to riches.
In the meantime, it looks like the President has been reduced to beggar status with his constant appeals to the opposition to save the country. Does the PPP not have it in its power to call new elections now?
PPP can’t blame the opposition anymore for sinking and stinking up the country; blame must now be placed squarely at the hands of PPP/C, since they had enough time to fold up this so-called opposition by calling for fresh elections.
The PPP/C is allowing the opposition to hold this nation to ransom at present.
