Dear Editor,
I don’t believe that the opposition party is being genuine when several of its candidates suggested that they are an inclusive party. I believe that this is a ruse to fool people into voting for them to gain power.

Firstly, it is common knowledge that the Guyana Times newspaper is utilised mainly as a mouthpiece of the opposition party. There has been several instances where the Guyana Times newspaper continues to promote and incite discord against the Haitian and other Caribbean migrants who visit Guyana.

I have also seen incitement from vocal PPP/C supporters who post conspiracy theories and alleged racist comments on a popular Guyanese Diaspora message board. This is ironic knowing that Bharrat Jagdeo was recently in Canada begging the Guyanese-Canadian Diaspora to return home and vote for the PPP/C.

This political party also has a history of scandals and misusing funds, while discriminating heavily against Guyanese. The pain of such discrimination exists to this day, and today this is manifested notably against the Haitians. This is the reason that I have a fear that discrimination will persist, and become worse if the PPP/C is elected.

Therefore, I am not fully convinced that the PPP/C is for equality, because the mentality of supremacy is embedded within their psyche, and this isn’t going to change. It will get worse because they are thirsting to get their hands on the oil reserves for themselves. Be aware!
