Dear Editor,

FREDDIE Kissoon in his daily KN column of 7-13-21, “argued that society should continue to engage African Guyanese about their political leadership. It is becoming overbearing in the cruel ways that the PNC and their surrogates in the trade union movement, academia and civil society are deceiving African people in this country.” Freddie is so right. But it goes further. The PNC continues to deceive all Guyanese.
When former President David Granger and Joseph Harmon visited the West Coast Berbice rioters and riled up PNC supporters, it was one group of people who felt the brunt of the attack.

Not all PNC leaders follow the same approach.  PNC Chairman Volda Lawrence visited the same West Coast Berbice area and calmed  the rioters. The choice between the two PNC factions is now between violence and non-violence
In the upcoming October Congress high drama is likely to take place. Granger as Leader of the List used his power to leave Lawrence out of Parliament. Lawrence has proven that she is no pushover. She has been a tempestuous critic of Granger.

With Granger announcing his decision to run for PNC leader, does Lawrence have the support to challenge him and win? Harmon has also announced his decision to run for the chairmanship and no doubt he is no match for Lawrence for election to this position.
Lawrence controls the critical Georgetown PNC group from where she draws her strength.
Harmon has no constituency of his own.
With Freddie’s prediction so early that the Congress will be rigged against Lawrence, she has her work cut out to do.
Yours sincerely,
Sultan Mohamed
