AS a youngster not growing up in the PNC era, I’m not so well aware of most of the happening and activities that took place back then, but three years ago I developed a passionate interest for politics within Guyana and that passion lead me to re-migrate to my homeland.

“A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds with his actions.”
To say that the Guyanese people’s wellbeing is your concern and with that same breath you turned around and voted for jobs and education funding to be cut is a sign of pure hypocrisy. The APNU continues to mislead us, knowing that their only motive and ambition is to antagonise the welfare of the Guyanese people as they did decades ago while being in power.
To vote against job funding is already an act of having no morality, but to vote against education funding as they did to the University of Guyana and other educational areas in the previous budget debate is a whole new definition of being misanthropical. Aren’t the youths the future anymore? What will be the state of Guyana’s youths tomorrow if a proper education is not accessible to them today? Even worse what will be the state of the country’s economy in the next two decades if we can’t properly groom and educate our kids to become leaders of tomorrow? I guess the APNU really has that word “REFORM” to heart, because that exactly is what’s going to happen if they were to have their way with the outcome of Guyana’s future.
Over the past four decades the PNC/APNU has been consistent when it comes to showing the people of Guyana the kind of revelation that is brutal and suppressive while trying to deprive us from knowing the truth. We have seen this once more just recently with the call for the Dr. Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry (COI). Rodney was a political activist who was assassinated in Guyana in 1980, while the PNC was the party in Government.
For whatever reason, Rodney’s assassination was left as an unsolved case. I’ve learnt this and more about Mr. Rodney while attending high school in Guyana and doing numerous researches on the deceased. The ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has agreed to the establishment of a Commission of Inquiry (COI) with the vision of unlocking yet another unsolved assassination that had happened during the PNC era.
The PPP also called on the Opposition to fully cooperate with this inquiry and despite the public statement made by Mr. David Granger, the head of the APNU of him not being afraid of the outcome of the COI, his actions speak another language, which takes us back to my opening quote.
It’s clear that the APNU is trying their utmost to derail the commission of inquiry for their personal benefits, which I personally think is not only unfair to the Guyanese people but mostly the families and relatives of the late Mr. Rodney who were left with unanswered questions on that tragic day in 1980.
We’ve also seen the same tactics by Basil Williams not so long ago with the Linden situation which I won’t get into at this time, but what I will end with is that the Guyanese citizens will eventually open their eyes and see that the APNU has a lot of things to hide and will one day understand their traits.
