THEY attempt to project themselves as the guardians of society, upright and moral, but the underlying decay seeps out like effluent from a breached sewer system.  They sit for hours and pontificate on issues, citing corruption by public officials and weaving their spider’s webs of lies and half-truths, hoping to catch the unwary voters. They are the presidential hopefuls of Guyana, and one by one they are being exposed as pedophiles, as psychopaths, as thieves and fraudsters, as intellectual authors of murder, as liars of no mean order, and latterly as voyeurs, if not pornographic merchants.

And when they are caught in the act, they scream their innocence, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, but they have money and they can buy their way out of trouble, which they do, but there is a Guyanese proverb that says, “Every day bucket a go a well and one day the bottom will drop out.” And the day has eventually caught up with several of those who are convinced that their clever rhetoric and semantics will get them out of trouble and keep their reputations intact.
One pedophile, who purports to help vulnerable women, offers monetary and material help then helps himself to their girl children, some of them little more than babies.

Prakash Persaud recently exposed two fraudsters – eminent members of society and aspirants to high office, who, being lawyers, subverted the law to rob him of millions of dollars.

The exploits of leaders of the Opposition collective cannot bear public scrutiny; but they are adept at pointing fingers at public officers, forgetting that while one finger is pointed at their opponent, four are pointed right back at them.

How much will they attempt to fool the public before they are exposed? The Guyanese Diasporic communities, who have been influenced by the lies of Opposition leaders, always express amazement at the transformation of Guyana since they left this country.

The young generation need to revisit their history to make informed choices advantageous to their own future security and well-being when they exercise their franchise come May 11th of this year.
