Dear Editor,
THE PPP had the launching of the 2020 manifesto on Friday. To get a comprehensive understanding of it, I read the reports in several media outlets.

First, I did a general examination of the photos. Sam Hinds as usual looked completely at sea. Is he ever awake? Don’t take my word, examine the picture. I then scanned the photos from right to left. I do not know if it was by coincidence, but all the ‘losers’ from the PPP presidential selection process sat on the right. The coconut oil consultant was there, suited and booted in Sub-Saharan temperatures. That fella does not know how to dress for the weather. To his left was my batch mate, Dr Persaud, who did not quite look her radiant self. Ahead of them was Mr. Vexatious aka Chat-3. Apparently, he missed his stolen law books case to be there. He must be quite scared of that magistrate, preferring to sit in brain- frying temperatures, listening to a grown man recite the alphabet. Just read the law books and defend yourself mate. If you had done that, this case would have been long over. I don’t know if you have noticed, but Dr Anthony was absent. I guess he is still having therapy after that traumatic ‘loss’ to the alumnus of West Demerara University.

Now the manifesto speech proper. Puppet Irfaan-19 was given the day out. Mate was over the moon. Actually, I retract that last statement. I don’t think it is possible for him to defy gravity much less reach the moon. He looked very upbeat after consuming a few gallons of coffee. Bharrat was a few inches to his left in the event of any error, a pinch of the gluteus maximus should put him back on track. After a deep inspiratory breath, MIA began his speech. As reported by Demerarawaves, he made a pitch to Afro-Guyanese. He reportedly said that if they vote for him they would not be discriminated against. That’s a bit disconcerting when a candidate has to categorically state that he will not discriminate against a group. I thought that was a given. Just out of curiosity, I wonder what will happen if they don’t vote for him? He then went on to state that if he is elected, cash transfers would be bountiful. Seriously? First they were for cash transfer. Then they are against cash transfer. Now they are for cash transfer. Look what flip floppers, you may wish to follow our President’s lead. Pick a side and stick to it. This pendulum-type changing of position is giving us ‘eye turn.’ Then he proceeded to oil contract renegotiation. Again the party of confusion is all over the place; vacillating from one position to another. First, they had argued that the contract cannot be renegotiated, but now they say it will. Look what, I am no lawyer, but my understanding is that a contract has two parties. For a contract to be renegotiated, then both parties have to agree to it. Why would Exxon wish to renegotiate a contract, if as PPP argues, the original contract favours them? Probably, I am missing something. I guess the ‘champion’ will threaten them a place in his black book if they don’t play ball. Finally, he once again promised this 50,000 jobs nonsense. I will just ignore that for now, since I have no idea how this is possible and I think he is none the wiser.
In conclusion, rather than boring you with everything Puppet Irfaan-19 stole, I would direct you to the APNU-AFC developmental policies. In essence, the PPP plagiarised all of the government’s past, present and future ideas. Apparently, the manifesto like Irfaan-19 certificates, is on facebook. Don’t waste your time reading it. You would be better served attending some random person’s funeral.
Regards
Dr Mark Devonish
