Dear Editor,
It seems as though the PPP does not know when to call it a day. They are still in campaign mode.
I decided to attend the flag-raising ceremony which was planned long before
the elections, and which was billed to be held in St Ignatius.
To say that the programme was poor would be a gross understatement, but when the ex-Vice Chairman gave his address then all the mediocrity was on full display.
Imagine, in the presence of schoolchildren, who were smartly attired in their uniforms, the hopeless gentleman informed those present that Mr Jagan was at the centre of the Independence struggle and was ably assisted by the likes of Peter D’Aguiar and Stephen Campbell, but Mr Burnham was presented with the Instruments of Independence.
At this point there was no holding back the crowd; chants of Granger reverberated around the venue thus making it impossible for the hapless, now embarrassed ex-Vice Chairman to complete his speech.
The flag was hastily hoisted and the crowd dispersed.
My hope is that the children present at that apology of a flag-raising do not take what they heard as gospel, and that the education system will do all in their power to correct this gross piece of misinformation.
Additionally, I am in receipt of credible information that the PPP is in the field spewing their poison of disunity by telling residents of the remote areas that they are still in power.
In this regard, the new government has to move quickly before the situation becomes chaotic. I firmly believe that the PPP is not about to just go away. They will seek to do as much harm to the new government so as to render them incapable of turning the tide of disunity.
Yours faithfully,
Carl Parker
