THE political code of conduct was inked by the political parties of Guyana, on Wednesday 29th April 2015, aiming to have the parties will conduct themselves in a professional manner throughout their campaigning. A few hours later the Peoples Progressive Party Civic held one of its public meetings in East Ruimveldt, for the use of reaching out and airing plans for the future developments of Guyana if were to be placed in office again.PPP/C was interrupted by a band of the political Opposition supporters known as A Partnership for National Unity and the Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC). Flags for the PPP/C were burned, missiles were thrown and some were even hurled at speakers which included Dr. Roger Luncheon. The behavior of the Opposition by going and disrupting PPP/C meetings is by far an act of disrespect to the government and its supporters. The most annoying part of it all is that supporters are encouraging children to be a part of all the vandalism; children do what they see their parents are doing. Teach our children the right thing, set proper examples for them to follow, and by all means allow our children to decide on their own. Violence is not the answer, never was, and never will be.
Billboards were destroyed, posters were ripped from walls and light posts and the home of a PPP/C supporter in Linden had stones hurled at it. Why sign a code of conduct if there are no intentions of carrying out your duties respectfully and professionally? David Granger and Moses Nagamootoo, I urge you to condemn this act of your supporters. If you fail to do so, then your supporters will carry on their violence and vandalism, feeling they have your full support behind their actions.
