“COMMENTS from the opposition that state that Clinton Urling and other young people are not qualified to make Guyana better, are an insult to our nation and they need to be dealt with,” Dr Peter Ramsaroop asserted.Dr Ramsaroop was at the time speaking at a press conference held at Freedom House and addressed the criticisms Clinton Urling is facing from the opposition. He explained that youths should be allowed to make their choice without being criticised if they affiliate themselves with the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C).

“We should be absolutely impressed, Clinton Urling is a prime example of a young entrepreneur in this country; we should be patting him on the back regardless. David Granger should be the first one to say Clinton Urling I am glad that you have done well in Guyana and you are a successful young business person,” Ramsaroop said.
Since his decision to be part of the PPP/C 2015 election slate was made public, former BLUE CAPS head and businessman Clinton Urling has come under attack by supporters of the APNU+AFC. He has come under fire via Facebook with persons calling for the boycott of his business.
“We can’t chastise them [youths] to call them names and to criticise them on social media is an insult to many young people in Guyana who will think ,wait a minute if I am an entrepreneur or I have done well and I join a particular party which is my political freedom then I am suddenly bad,”Dr Ramsaroop related.
Dr Ramsaroop recently endorsed the PPP/C and he explained his own experience at the hands of the opposition also. “I was a very good example when I was within the PNC (People’s National Congress) ranks. I was a starboy; suddenly so I am no longer there I am the worse person you could have ever seen.”
He also highlighted criticisms that the opposition are meting out to persons; he had this to say: “When you look at the marriage of convenience of the APNU+AFC collation (A Partnership for National Unity and the Alliance For Change), they got engaged on Valentine’s Day, married on Nomination Day and will be divorced on election day. The fact is the pre-nup is not going to work.”
In closing, he noted that “I will defend Clinton, I will defend openly all the young people that believe the system is there to support them and you have to applaud them for supporting the PPP/C.”
