Has the ‘Alliance’ undergone a sudden metamorphosis

THE new PNC/APNU+AFC alliance has launched their campaign with talk of unity, national reconciliation, and promise of providing decent and honourable leadership.According to press reports, they’ve outlined plans and programmes for investment, growth and development of Guyana.

The question is: Has the Opposition experienced a sudden conversion? They need to account for their display of anti-development, destructive, and unpatriotic behaviour during the past three years and beyond.
Patriotic Guyanese, especially voters, need answers to these questions:
* How is collaborating in the National Assembly against the incumbent over the last three years reflective of honourable leadership and promoting national unity?
* How organizing riots in Linden and Agricola honorable leadership, and contributed to national unity?
* How disapproving expenditure in the national budget aid in development and provide a better life for Guyanese?
* How making ordinary people “collateral damage” give them a better life?
* How getting Guyana blacklisted by blocking passage of amendments to Anti-Money-Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Bill will benefit Guyana?
* How is driving away investors for major projects, encouraging investment?
* How ending the life of Parliament prematurely, help Guyana’s development programme?
Also, we need to understand:
* How can Nagamootoo speak about the restoration of democracy in 1992 alongside those who denied us that right for almost three decades and from whom it had to be fought for with the loss of many lives?
* Who is responsible for the 1955 split that resulted in the division Nagamootoo laments? Is it not the same group with which he now coalesces?
* How can a coalition based on hatred, and survival bring development and a better life to Guyanese?

What believable promise can the PNC/APNU+AFC offer Guyana at a time when there should not be the stress of elections? It is their vengeance seeking agenda that brought us to this time two years early. They make it clear that their main purpose is the removal of the PPP/C from office – the only party in government that has brought development to Guyana. They seem so obsessed in their cause that it leaves the impression that Guyana’s development on their watch, if any, will be “collateral”.
Their agenda of hatred was practised against the private sector during their dark 28-year reign. We experienced the results up to 1992 and they continued in that mode with dissecting every contract and making unfair comparisons, on labeling the agents of development in negative terms – terms more applicable to the 1964-1992 rulers. They seem bent on continuing to prevent Guyana from moving forward as shown by their actions in the tenth parliament and their professed aim of removing it from office.
Will we allow them to pull off their hoax with fake promises? There are too many thinking and discerning citizens to fall for their false promises. But we also need to be vigilant of their bullying ways as displayed at the 2011 elections, and make sure they do not bully their way into power and impose their oppression and another dark era on Guyana once again.
