So now we know. The Office of the President is not in need of enlightenment – or more accurately “enlightenments” – from anyone outside the boundaries of the Co-operative Republic’s 83,000 square miles.
Or inside them either. The lamp of true knowledge and understanding burns so brightly in New Garden Street it appears, that it is ‘arrogance’ for anyone to volunteer suggestions as to how that light could be made even more incandescent. This particularly applies if the presumptious individuals seeking to “implant the noble ideas on us poor natives” (Dr Luncheon’s words) come from the Commonwealth. And as for those hapless Guyanese whose utterances happen to be in tune with what certain Common-wealth representatives have been saying recently, they are simply “acolytes” of the offending outsiders.
