Dear Editor,
The PNCR says it relationship with the American created Mormon Church is one that helps the destitute in Guyanese society. A party spokesperson explained that some time ago the Mormons approached them “for assistance in reaching out” to poor and needy communities. This was most astute of the Mormons, who must have realized that this is the party responsible for moving Guyana from becoming the breadbasket of the Caribbean to becoming a nation poorer than Haiti. Maybe the church leaders thought that if they wanted to know destitution, they should contact the PNCR. Still, you have to be wary whenever the PNCR cottons up to an American Church. People can still recall the alleged links the party had with the American Jim Jones and his Jonestown ‘church’ and later it was arm in arm with the House of Israel, which was founded by the late American fugitive, David Hill, or as he was known in Guyana, Rabbi Edward Washington.
Yours faithfully,
Justin de Freitas
