Dear Editor,
ANOTHER boycott by the PPP/C, this time refusing to be part of a team comprising the cabinet, that will be visiting the ongoing expansion works at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA).

Editor, examining the reasons set forth by opposition Member of Parliament Juan Edghill for his party not being part of the visitation team, can only be described as asinine to the point of nonsensical. Here again, one discerns the dark, devious, and dishonest tactics of the PPP/C in its attempt to create the impression of dishonesty on the part of the coalition government.

It is not unheard of or unlikely for such major projects to undergo “significant alterations” and design changes, which will inevitably, entail additional costs. It is not a novelty, as the man of the cloth subtly wants us to believe.
Further, in stating that his party wants to ensure that, “the Guyanese [people] got value for their money and what was paid for was delivered”, is intended to convey the impression of acts of impropriety on the part of the government.

What audacity! What chicanery! How can such a person utter such a profanity? Did the Guyanese people ever receive their dollar value for so many of the projects that ended up as white elephants, beginning with the Skeldon Estate, and the tragedy that was the Kato Secondary school, the Amaila Hydro Falls, ‘Fip’ Motilall road? There were even problems with the Hope bypass; and there were also, the many over-priced constructions that were given to PPP/C contractors – such as the National Insurance office at Corriverton, that had been built for over $60M, and which roof had been shown to be unravelling, in a recent media report. Then there is the still abandoned building block on High Street, built at a cost of over $600M?

Bishop Juan Edghill, as a cleric, has continued to trample the truth on the altar of political deception and lies. Obviously, he has his eyes on becoming prime minister, as each day, he continues in his pathetic efforts to prove his worth to the PPP/C. He must be reminded that if Jesus Christ did come, he did not vote for the latter party; for he must be reminded that Christ would not have been associated with a den of national thieves, and pillagers of the state.

Jesus Christ, although he declared that he had come to save sinners, did not take kindly to those who desecrated the temple – he whipped them out!
Edghill must know that as a man who has taken the sacred vow of leading men’s souls to salvation, his continued alignment with and participation in the wicked and evil racist programme of the party that he so bravely represents, puts him at odds with the tenets of righteousness and justice, as illustrated in the Bible.
