WITH stumbling steps, helpers on both sides and concern from the audience; he emerged at the microphone with a glow of optimism emanating on his face. He has undergone a dramatic change in recent times. Although, less puffy than he had appeared on television, his complexion was darker. He was breathing hard as he spoke. His voice course, eyes bleary, and his hair thinning and grayer. He looked most unhealthy. His presentation was brief to the amusement and uproar of the crowd.
Dr. Roger Luncheon is no ordinary man. His motivation and drive was not about financial upliftment or self-aggrandizement. His credentials as a medical doctor are outstanding from one of the most revered Universities of the world. He could have been among the wealthiest and most prestigious doctors in Guyana. Instead, he joined with the late comrade Dr Cheddi Jagan and Mrs. Janet Jagan to work diligently for the inhabitants of this land. Dr. Roger Luncheon is one of the greatest sons of this soil.

The treatment which was given to this humble civil servant in War-Lock and Stabroek market square was unacceptable and demands the condemnation of all Guyanese. I humbly call on the present administration to look seriously into these matters of intimidation and terrorisation being expressed to its citizenry.

Regrettably, we may never see Dr Roger Luncheon again on a political platform, but this gem will always be remembered by all of us Guyanese living in Guyana and in the diaspora.

Sir Isaac Newton said; “If I have seen further, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants”. Thank you Oh great son of Guyana for being our GIANT!

We are happy and grateful to have been served by you. May God-Almighty bless you with his Guidance and Mercy.
