Home Letters The PNC has no moral authority to speak on matters of migratio
Dear Editor,
The PNC is so obsessed with negativity that they have deliberately forgotten some of the areas of their gross incompetence while in office, the crippling migration crisis. Much of the ills of society are attributed to them. Starting from their accession to office in 1964 and again in 2020. The PNC is the root cause of the depopulation of this country and the massive brain drain that followed.
So, when The Opposition comes to parliament with their sanctimonious of bad governance and our nurses leaving for greener pastures, they are putting their foot in their mouths, because they are the ones who caused that problem to exist in the first place. They are the ones who should apologize to the people of this country for that humiliating episode, but they have become so delusional that truth and reality elude their vile imagination.
On the issue of migration from this country, everyone is familiar with the plight of the Guyanese People soon after The PNC acceded to office in 1964. Soon after that date, there was a mass exodus of people to every known place on the planet. It is a known fact that the population of Guyana declined, never moving an inch forward, for the last 50 years. And the causative agent, The PNC Party. People fled this country because of the unbearable situation, hoping to find a decent standard of living in foreign lands. It is a shameful piece of history that we would never like to be replicated again.
Guyanese have populated the world, starting from the neighbouring territories such as Suriname, Brazil, Venezuela, yes Venezuela, and all of Caricom, there is not a place in the known world where a Guyanese cannot be found. There is documented proof that the number of Guyanese living abroad is proportionate to the present population in Guyana, this is a glaring indictment on The PNC and its 33 years of corrupt rule.
The only consolation we have when discussing mass migration is that most of us who migrated formed a band of individuals who have made valuable contributions to our foreign abode. Listening to The Voice of America one evening, I was heartened to know that the most educated immigrant population in The USA comes from Guyana. Tears came to my eyes when I heard of this because here, we have a people who could have been making great strides in their own country, but for the misfortune of them being driven out by an illegal party in government. These miscreants still haunt us to this day.
In closing, I repeat the point that The PNC should hang their heads in shame whenever the topic of migration comes into focus, they have no moral authority to speak on matters of this nature.
Respectfully,
Neil Adams
