Dear Editor
BHARRAT Jagdeo has proven to be the kind of politician that goes with the flow –opportunism, a well-known characteristic of most politicians. But his is of a dangerously devious kind that he has perfected since his party lost the 2015 national elections.

He seeks to take a position of moral rectitude on every serious national ill, which he and his government had totally ignored and contributed to during his stewardship in office, and ought to have remedied; but now is speaking in the correct manner in wanting the remedies.

Editor, such a leader is not only a charlatan, but the vilest of hypocrites, and an incorrigible liar. He is a category of leader that is convenient; for it is a natural characteristic of a person who continues to be immoral, with each passing day.
It grows more incredible by the day, at this politician’s gross hypocrisy, since his administration had been the architect of racist practices. When I’m greeted with a Kaieteur News headline, dated, “GECOM hiring concerns not about race, but fairness” on June 15, 2018.

Guyana’s Foreign Service, was once respected, and internationally renowned for the quality of emissaries that it had produced for representing Guyana’s interests internationally. But, editor, we all know the fate that it suffered at the hands of the former PPP/C government, through its first Foreign Minister, Clement Rohee – denuding of professional, career officers whose only sin was that they were Afro-Guyanese, and therefore perceived to be supporters of People’s National Congress (PNC).

Who will forget what they did to the distinguished Dr. Cedric Grant, the late high-ranking ambassador to Washington, and to so many European countries. He had to take them to court before they decided to pay his well-earned emoluments. It was one of the numerous PPP/C’s earliest demonstrations of spite.

Gradually, every high commissioner/ambassador that the former PPP/C government accredited was Indo-Guyanese. We all know the infamous and pernicious lie, uttered by Dr. Roger Luncheon under oath during the hearing of Jagdeo’s suit against popular columnist Freddie Kissoon, when answering the question as to the absence of African –Guyanese Heads of Mission – he said that there were none qualified to fill such positions.

It was a celebrated lie, which echoes still ring, as a reminder of how racist the Robb Street cabal is.
Heaven knows why, despite Genevieve White-Nedd’s competent performance as chief education officer, they refused to confirm her in the position.
The above examples beg the question: what did such leader know about fairness when he and his then government ensured that “they run things”, as many of their appointees, and supporters brazenly spoke.

I stand to be corrected in adding the case of the Afro-Guyanese, whom the PPP/C’s Ministry of Health had employed to perform the duties of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation’s first chief executive officer (CEO). Not only did that CEO’S services come to an end, but an Indo-Guyanese was appointed to fill the vacancy of a veteran professional hospital services worker, who had performed similar duties for a reported 48 years in Canada.

How does one explain the top most medical administrative posts, coupled with all the medical heads of department, being held by Indo-Guyanese? Can Jagdeo explain where the fairness was, and balance in such racism?

The PPP/C, its leader Jagdeo, and all of its well-known racists are today being judged by their chronic, standard practice of the racist doctrine. The evidence is there, voluminous and well detailed. For this party, and former government being fair to qualified and well deserving Afro-Guyanese who had merited appointments, had never been a part of their understanding of governance.
