Dear Editor,
I have heard some people declaring that Cde Donald Ramotar is not fit for the role of president. I’m confident that he is fit for the role.
Some critics have said that candidates should have experience in raising a family and that such a person must have the image and profile of a good parent. This makes Cde Donald Ramotar the best presidential candidate, because he fits that profile. He is a respected husband and father and anyone who knows him will agree that he can deliver as any good father of this nation, just as he has successfully raised his own children. As head of state he will create opportunities for every child of this nation to become a successful citizen.
In addition, within the branches of Cde Ramotar’s family tree can be found represented every race of this country. He could not be racially based, therefore, because he would be destroying everything that makes him happy – his immediate and extended family.
Further I can speak from experience. All of you who know me in Linden, saw the struggle I have been through. While I was building my home it drained me physically to the extent that many were slandering my name saying that I had all kinds of sicknesses. I never knew that Cde Ramotar as General Secretary was paying keen attention to my life as he does to everyone he is acquainted with. One day while I was visiting Freedom House in Georgetown, he turned to me and said that I looked as if I needed a vacation, I cannot remember what my response was; we talked for a while on party business and the rest of the story is history. Even when I was in China on this lengthy vacation it was all like a dream to see that this gentleman could show so much concern and care for someone he barely knew. That made me vow to serve this party to my last breath.
Everyone knows that where I live, Sunflower Street is just behind me, and there is a mountain of evidence of how unconcerned the PNC is as a party. It brings tears to my eyes when I look at one residence; it is left to jaguars and caimans to find a resting place there, and it’s a shame on the PNCR. The AFC will do no
better.
Those are facts that no one can deny, so voters owe it to themselves and their children to vote for the PPP/C and Cde Donald Ramotar come Election Day.
Yours faithfully,
Eon Halls
