WHEN armed robbers could invade a church and violently rob the worshipers there then it behooves me to believe that we have totally lost it. We have totally lost the values of respect and reverence for a house of worship and for the sanctity of human life. As members of any community we are entitled to live and worship in peace and freedom. However, with the latest armed attack on the parishioners of The St Phillips Church this freedom is under severe threat. The parishioners were there to worship, and to do so in peace and quietude, not be violently robbed by a bunch of low life individuals.
Guyana was destined for such a state – ever since the PNC-led administration left us a legacy of glorified criminals. Today this party sits in the Opposition but they are still in the habit of defending the criminals, even when they are caught red-handed. This is the pattern of their terroristic behaviour.
Another distressing part of their destructive and destabilising plan is the fact that many guns were handed out to criminal elements. This is evident from damaging testimony coming out of the Rodney COI, where claims of arms and ammunition distribution to party supporters were evident. Granger cannot hide from these damning revelations because he was a member of the armed forces that was fingered in these ghastly schemes.
Granger cannot make the ridiculous claim that the boys cannot get jobs because, even as I write this, there is a massive short-term employment programme on in Region 4. All these unemployed persons have to do is cash into the programme and get themselves gainfully employed. There is no way these guys can get away with that excuse of not finding anything to do.
The point I am making is Granger and his PNC/APNU colleagues need to hang their heads in shame as to the horrible place we’ve found ourselves. With each despicable act of robbery under arms, an indictable rap sheet is written up against that party. When such notorious crimes are taking place in a Region in which you claim overwhelming support, then your stewardship as a political party comes in for dishonourable mention. The people of Guyana are taking notes on this party and we will speak come next election.
