Dear Editor,
I note a wild statement from the PPP against Cde Moses Nagamootoo. Such illusion and political fantasy cannot be allowed to stand. The real questions that remain unanswered in this campaign are who is the real presidential candidate of the PPP, and can the real Donald Ramotar please step forward?
What any rational mind can tell you is that since 2011, Mr Ramotar has failed to identify with what people really want and has a major credibility issue in relation to the menu of public policies to take the nation forward. Rather than appearing presidential, he comes across as dependent on Mr Jagdeo; as a fifth wheel to the PPP broken coach. When it comes to providing the answers on what he can do for Guyana, he collapses into a sincerity crisis since he clearly is not the repository of any original ideas, and follows the ideology of Jagdeoism which is basically, tax more, borrow more and spend more with no care for tomorrow.
When Mr Ramotar arrived in Linden to address the smallest PPP rally ever (with mainly non-Region 10 people), even the trucked in PPP supporters could see that he could not effectively interact with the voters. It was Mr Ramotar who in 2011 begged the people to give him a chance and promised them local government elections by 2012. History will show that this was a broken promise. Now again he come with the same worn-out promise of local government elections in 12 months’ time. Clearly he has learnt nothing since 2011. The Guyanese people have already disengaged from him.
For the record, both Mr Granger and Mr Nagamootoo have promised the people they would announce a date for local government elections within the first 100 days, and I will be first in line to hold them to this promise, since I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that Guyana’s President and Prime Minister on May 12 will be none other than Granger and Nagamootoo.
Yours faithfully,
Sase Singh
