Dear Editor,
WHEN I read Leslie Ramsammy’s letter about “Cheddi’s dreams”, the first thought that came to me is that this man has no shame!
In the Guyana Times (4/9/19), he referred to improvements in the education section, and brazenly stated that “APNU/AFC totally ignored the hinterland and Amerindian communities”.

My reaction is: Where does this man live? Of course he lives overseas, since he holds foreign citizenship. He came back before the 1992 elections after he formed the Republican Party to “chase Cheddi Jagan” from becoming president.
After his party was totally rejected, this opportunist begged to join up the PPP government. PPP supporters have long memories, and will not allow Ramsammy to fool them with his new-found love for Dr. Jagan!

Ramsammy knows that the regime that took over from Dr. Jagan undermined public education. Results in Amerindian communities were at an all-time low.
It was under the APNU + AFC Coalition Government that the entire education system was overhauled. The overall passes at CSEC, close to 80%, have resulted from the work of this administration!

The image of the PPP was the billion-dollar Kato Secondary School, which was a white elephant. It is the Granger Government which renovated it and made it into a modern residential school. Soon, the Cheing Falls at Kato will provide hydro energy to the school, at a cost of $450M.
