Dear Editor,

LEADER of the political opposition Bharrat Jagdeo’s recent accusation of fraud against the President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, David Arthur Granger, is another manifest example of a political leader whose known penchant for gutter behaviour is being reflected as part of his daily, natural life. It is an unrestrained flow.

That such a level of disrespect, in all of its crass, callous, and degrading forms can emanate from a citizen who once held the highest office in the land, suggests that his exposure to international diplomatic interaction has not availed him any social refinement. His behaviour, therefore, is a disservice and a blot to the club of former heads of government/state.

In attacking the President, Jagdeo continues to lower his entire persona to a plateau where he has proven is his natural environment. For how else must one describe a former head of the executive, and current holder of the constitutional office of leader of the opposition uttering such a deranged accusation of fraud against the nation’s leader, who not only lives a life by example, but whose personal morality puts to shame that of Jagdeo and those of his ilk.

The fact that he has chosen to attack the Christian religion of the President to support his drummed-up and filthy lies, speaks to his desperation to grab power at any cost. Further, it is an attack on all Christians; and I say this because, for all the criticisms/attacks that are levelled against the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), I have never read/heard any attacks on its Hindu or Muslim supporters’ culture, which almost all of its party members and supporters embrace. This is, in Guyanese language – “eye pass”, of the worst type. But this has an aim – to help foment the societal unrest, that would give weight to the PPP/C’s engineered creation of its so-called constitutional crisis.

Regards
Earl Hamilton
