FORMER President Mr Bharrat Jagdeo is correct in stating that there were elements from the Opposition PNC in the 2011 Elections who were bent on creating racial strife with their “coolie” comments.It is good to know that people in high positions such as Mr Jagdeo is aware of these happenings. Say what you will of Jagdeo but he is clued in. It appears as if the Government and GECOM are blind to many of the illegal activities by the PNC which are clear to the ‘man in the street’, if he chooses to see.

In the 2011 Election, the PNC brought from the US and elsewhere a number of it supporters mainly former Army and Police personnel to Guyana to plan strategies on how to mobilise their foot soldiers and to create havoc if need be in and around Georgetown.

It is well known that many of the former military people were based in Seaforth Street, Campbellville where one of the main PNC donor and supporter has a house which is used as a camp and ‘war room’ by visiting PNC ex-military members. Primo, from the infamous Congress Place shooting, was one of the persons seen there as were many of the current leading members of the PNC.

Hamilton Green has been seen after working hours in that area on many occasions. Maybe he visits Khemraj Ramjattan who lives on the next street. There has supposedly been sightings of Mr Granger there in 2011. Maybe he was just saying ‘hello’ to his former ‘squaddies’ housed there.

On Election Day in 2011, the businessman was heard loudly saying that it was time to go out and mobilise PNC supporters to get rid of the illegal Coolie Government. He had his vehicles and drivers and was heard clearly instructing them to go to Kitty and then Campbellville Housing Scheme and Sophia and get people to go out and vote against the ‘Coolie man’. The strange thing is that this person is one of the few Afro Guyanese in that area but he can make those comments and get away with it because of his money and his friends in high places.

If the people in that area were to take offence at the comments then it would be mayhem. Thankfully, the Indo Guyanese in that area are sensible enough and were not dragged into the race baiting that was going on.
That PNC supporter who operates a well-known business in the another area of Campbellville is at it again this time around and is believed to be using his connections and money in trying to again recruit ex-military Guyanese from Georgia, Tennessee, New Jersey and New York to come and to push harder this time and to be prepared for violence. They are even (allegedly) offering to pay airfares. Everyone knows of the dark and ugly underbelly of the PNC and it seems to be raising its ugly head for the 2015 Elections.
It is also ‘common knowledge’ on the street that some PNC supporters have several voting registration cards. Many PNC supporters with bus and trucks are already being mobilised to transport these people from one polling station to the next, and the next. Watch the roads on election day and see who is being shuttled around. It is a shame that Mr Jagdeo did not speak of this also.

God help us all. Especially the Indo-Guyanese, Chinese-Guyanese, Portuguese-Guyanese, Amerindian-Guyanese and Guyanese of mixed races if the PNC wins.
