APNU/AFC now on propaganda campaign trail for recount 2020

Dear Editor,
The APNU/AFC is on the campaign trail again, only this time they are around the various communities spreading rumours and propaganda.
Recently, Mr Gary Best visited Region 10 and went on one of the broadcasting networks to inform the people of Linden and the region that the APNU/AFC coalition has won the March 2, General Elections and it is the People’s Progressive Party/Civic who wants to rig the elections by requesting the recount and it is essential that the people of Linden stop this from happening.
This, in my view, must be considered as inciting which should be investigated by the Guyana National Broadcasting Authority.
Lindeners, I’m sure you remember the strategy outlined in that email which encouraged the APNU/AFC Government to keep propagandising on the issues of having inherited an empty treasury.
The propaganda that APNU/AFC peddled for years that Mr Bharrat Jagdeo and his Ministers stole billions while in Government these may have worked well in the past but we are now in 2020, we all see these were rumours.
I’m of the impression that this was a sign of desperation by the PNCR to control their stronghold, Linden
Mr Best, Lindeners cry shame on you, to believe that they are so stupid. You are a man of the law and was trained to uphold the law. How can you be involved in such deception?
Many Lindeners and Guyanese alive today, were too young or not born in 1964 to remember what happened in Wismar, Linden, because of rumours, deception and propaganda. Today I ask you not to be influenced by words that will incite wrongdoing, we have seen in the past the loss of so many lives because of the wrong information given to us under the leadership of the PNC, now the APNU/AFC. As Lindeners and Guyanese, we should seek to heal the wounds inflicted on us by past generations, we have to seek the truth and try to report the truth. We are a strong, smart and educated people and must not allow leaders who only care about power to continue instilling fear by embellishing and twisting facts. Lies often repeated, become facts, be aware! Guyanese we must ensure that what happened in May 1964 does not happen again and don’t encourage any political party to do their dirty work, it is only a blind man that cannot see that the 2020 General and Regional Elections was rigged. However, the results from the recount will reveal the truth. The APNU/AFC leaders need to stop dwelling in mischief and targeting Linden’s young people for their personal gains and benefits. Gone are those days, our young people have a vision and need visionary leaders.
Lindeners, Guyanese, we are faced with a critical challenge ahead of us, on how best to empower our young people and adolescents after the aftermath of the election results and the coronavirus so that they can become healthy adults and future leaders that will lead this country towards to a thriving economy over the next five years.
I know for a fact that the People’s Progressive Party/Civic has an urgent comprehensive action plan already established through 2025 to empower our young people all across this country with the knowledge and skills they need in order to shape the future of our nation and contribute to achieving the aims set out in the strategy and vision with the Sustainable Development Goals. The People’s Progressive Party/Civic has a vision for all young people’s future with an underlying set of coherent policies, services and resources dedicated by a People’s Progressive Party/Civic elected Government to address the specific needs and aspirations of diverse groups. This vision will target all those who need support the most; those who are not in education nor employment and training today; adolescents and young people from poor backgrounds, the thousands of teenage moms, and other disadvantaged young people, including those with disabilities.
These challenges are real, too many young people are still missing out on essential services and support under the APNU/AFC caretaker Administration from the education system or employment system, while we have adolescent girls giving birth every day in Guyana, with the vast majority of them then dropping out of school, to subsequently struggle to access decent skilled employment opportunities for the rest of their lives, a People’s Progressive Party/Civic elected Government will deliver skills, development programmes and co-create pathways to employment, including reserving or creating jobs for cadres of new graduates. They plan to strengthen vocational training systems, the online scholarship programme, overseen by the Government, and make it easier for out-of-school adolescents and youth to benefit from such specialised technical skill, training opportunities that would also promote holistic and life-long skills development for disadvantaged young people who are not in school today, and possibly allow hundreds of them to integrate jobs in the formal economy in the future. Young people, let’s remain focused on the price ahead.

Sincerely,
David Adams
