HOW MUCH more contradictory can David Granger become is best determined by his predilections for utterances that continue to beg the question as to his mind-set. OBSERVER is of the view that playing politics is one side of the coin; be it as it is, serious politics is also inherent of a responsibility that should reflect the realisation of a moral responsibility for actions on the part of leaders that may have consequences on a country’s development.
It further calls into question the practicality of leaders; thus, for Granger to complain that uncertainty over elections is impacting negatively on the economy, that has resulted in a fear “to invest”, has to be the most asinine conclusion that he has uttered, since entering national politics.
OBSERVER posits this conclusion, because of the great pretence that is unmistakably the underpinning of this great piece of contradiction, on the part of Granger. Political amnesia as well as an addition to this masked deceptive mosaic.
Surely, he cannot claim ignorance of his A Partnership for Unity’s (APNU) reckless decision to support the Alliance For Change(AFC)actions of an intended No-Confidence vote, intended to force national elections, almost two years before constitutionally due. Of course, such a selfish plan was pre-empted by President Donald Ramotar’s decision to prorogue the Assembly. It was a decision that would have agonised the President, since he had made numerous appeals for the political Opposition to engage in talks, particularly with regards advancing the national development agenda. Such was definitely more important than the AFC’S wild gung-ho strategy in seeking an electoral showdown.
So, if indeed there is a reluctance in investor confidence, as Granger claims, then he ought to recall his pivotal contribution in causing such a negative situation, in supporting that intended motion.
Just why Granger allowed himself to be dragged towards such a position of support is still everyone’s puzzle, given the fact that his utterances were centred around Local Government elections.
OBSERVER posits that the bitter truth is just beginning to dawn on Granger especially: that he is being led like a blind man, by the AFC, on a mad rush straight into a wall of electoral disaster!
But just who is he fooling!
