Dear Editor,
Mr. Vincent Alexander’s recent efforts to influence public opinion have drawn skepticism from Afro-Guyanese groups who are increasingly aware of concerning activities within the IPADA-G framework. This includes the allocation of taxpayer funds for consultancy contracts that appear inflated and benefit close associates and relatives.
Discussions at the Permanent Forum on the People of African Descent have highlighted shortcomings within the IPADA-G organization, which claims to advocate for Afro-Guyanese communities. However, it has become apparent that Alexander and his associates have manipulated the process for their own agenda.
The recent government decision to provide direct funding to Afro-Guyanese groups is a positive shift away from bureaucratic obstacles and preferential treatment seen under Alexander’s leadership. It is important to support measures that reduce the influence of consultants associated with the Alexander cabal.
It’s crucial to question the motives of individuals like Alexander, who often attack Afro-Guyanese dissenters with derogatory language. Are they truly advocating for Afro-Guyanese causes, or are they pursuing personal political interests?
The presence of opposition figures within IPADA-G indicates its transformation into a political entity, prioritising financial gain over genuine support for the Afro-Guyanese community.
From my own experiences, I am familiar with Mr. Alexander’s history, particularly his mistreatment of Afro-Guyanese individuals. His actions during his time as a lecturer at the University of Guyana serve as a reminder of his hypocrisy and disregard for the community he claims to represent.
Sincerely,
John Marcus
