Devious, dishonest, duplicitous and disingenuous

Dear Editor,
The APNU/AFC 2020 pamphlet (not a manifesto) started with an act of gross deceit. In the first paragraph, Mr David Granger mentioned the “revised Cummingburg Accord”. What is the revised Cummingburg Accord? Is that a real document or just a piece of blank paper that Mr Khemraj Ramjattan was forced to sign?
How dare Mr Granger talk about a coalition and an agreement when it is his team that crafted the original Cummingburg Accord and then took every opportunity to honour it in the breach? Today, in total disrespect to the people of Guyana, he now offers them “fickle promises, fatuous platitudes, and failed projects” by way of this APNU/AFC 2020 pamphlet (his words not mine). After only 4 years and 6 months of mal-performance, Mr Granger has turned all of his 2015 promises on its head. This new pamphlet of empty promises is nothing else but a booklet of pictures and empty words. Why is Mr Granger playing games with the minds of the Guyanese people?
Where is the evidence that the Granger Cabal has delivered on these fifteen (15) so-called Foundations of Development and their 100 days plan over the last 4 years and 6 months? So why should the Guyanese people accept this invention in the form of the APNU/AFC pamphlet? Is Mr Granger assuming that the Guyanese people are not thinking?
Looking at the APNU/AFC 2020 pamphlet, one can see a book of pictures and more empty words and meaningless clichés and bromides. It talks about governance but the Granger cabal is the greatest offender in following the rule of law and constitutional compliance and the evidence over the last 4 years and 6 months is overwhelming. One only has to understand what was done after the successful passage of the No-Confidence Motion.
The Granger cabal talks about an economic programme but under his watch, this economy was managed like a cake shop. They talk about an education programme and Guyana now has one of the worst and most mal-functional education systems in the entire Caricom family. They talk about a social programme but pensioners, the working class and the most vulnerable are under a clear and present danger of permanently sinking into poverty after the Granger cabal mainly spent on themselves some $1.3 trillion over the last 4 years and 6 months.
But the worst of it all is that the Granger cabal has the audacity to lecture the Guyanese people about a security programme when over 630 Guyanese were murdered over the last 4 years and 6 months, which is even worse than Mr Granger’s self-described “period of troubles” in some prior years.
As a voter, I wanted to see a clear connection between the APNU/AFC 2015 manifesto and the current pamphlet produced for 2020. I have to ask the question – “What have you done for we the people over the last 4 years and 6 months?” I have to ask – “What new ideas you have for we the people, going forward?” if, God forbid, you win.
To totally ignore the APNU/AFC 2015 manifesto and then manufacture a pamphlet as if you never ruled before is devious, dishonest, duplicitous and disingenuous. It sends a signal to the nation that you are dangerous enough to attempt to play with their intelligence in your mission to grab power by whatever means necessary.
Like many other Guyanese, I am not comfortable with such insincerity.

Sincerely,
Sase Singh
