President Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday slammed his critics as having ‘expert syndrome’ and law-breaking citizens as suffering from schizophrenia.
Addressing police officers at the opening of their annual conference here in Georgetown, the head of state lamented that Guyanese have been displaying split personalities as they laud the United States and Britain as model countries but say nothing when these nations violate laws and conventions.
The Guyanese leader observed that some citizens wanted clean streets yet they dumped refuse on the roadways; they want a reduction in traffic accidents but did not wear seat belts; they talk about police excesses and torture and complain to the US, which is holding hundreds of people at Guantanamo Bay, the US naval base in Cuba.
“You know what is wrong with us, we suffer from schizophrenia,” Jagdeo declared to a muted audience at the Police Officers’ Mess.
