The so-called “Good Life”, packaged under a new name

Dear Editor,
The Coalition came to power on the backs of the three Indians, Charandass, Ramjattan and Nagamootoo; these were the guys who did the hard work for the PNC to get another shot in office and power. Those three individuals lied to the Indians in the PPP/C strongholds to grab their votes so that they could have eked out a win for the party; they were pivotal to the PNC getting back into Government and total control of this country. That coalition came in under a strategy of lies of a “good life” and major promises of mighty good things to come.
In reality, those promises turned out to be a humorous and malicious deception and a nightmare for all of us, due to the plain fact that soon after the PNC got into power, the people and the promises they made to them soon evaporated into thin air, and the old Black Supremacist ideas of the party took precedence. In addition, they lavished on themselves the largesse of our country, where friends, families and favourites of the party benefited greatly while the masses out there suffered immensely. The general Guyanese public, who thought that the PNC had changed, were shocked into silence at the drastic turnaround in their fortunes.
Now, change eventually came to this country in a no-confidence vote by one of the Indians in the coalition; it toppled the PNC-led coalition and restored democracy to Guyana. The PPP/C was returned to office and immediately went to work, building and transforming the nation to modern respectability.
Now, we are back into another election campaign season, and again there are a plethora of parties, bearing gifts to the nation of another “Good Life” to come. The PNC, for their part, is at it again with a rebranded good life package, most of which carries unrealistic giveaways, such as a $1M monthly allowance to all Guyanese.
The sanctioned Presidential hopeful, who is another Indian, PNC Decoy, is also offering a grandiose package, which he hopes might gain the attention of a stupefied audience. His figures supersede what Guyana gains from an annual income of oil; what a fantastic proposal! But I can tell him that his fairy-tale plans would not gain traction among normal civilised Guyanese, nor are we Pavlov’s dogs, lest he run away with that thought. We would not be fooled by another “delusional Indian”, as was the case in the first coalition. If Mohamed thinks that somehow his ethnicity could give him an unfair advantage in this Presidential run, then I would advise him to think again.
But far removed from the rush for Presidential office is the solid fact that the opposition wants to get its filthy hands on this nation’s sovereign wealth; the oil money is a great incentive to becoming a Presidential hopeful. The naked truth is, the combined opposition want to rule our Guyana World with no track record and no economic sense that we can rely on. In this regard, there is no valid reason for us to hold any faith in them. The 2015-2020 experiment is fresh on our minds; that hypothesis very nearly killed us.
So, be it known, Guyanese will not be fooled by (a) the newly formed 2025 secret coalition of sorts, nor (b) Azruddin Mohamed’s fantasy packages; they are all the same people. They are cut from the same cloth, saddled with one common aim, that is, to get the progressive PPP/C Party out of office so that they can achieve all their own narrow selfish goals. Make no mistake, Aubrey Norton has no track record in governance from which he can draw, and the same can be said of Azruddin Mohamed.
In Mohamed’s case, he is out to save his sorry behind from sanctions, and in his evil quest, a fling at political office might just do the trick. Mohamed’s actions mirror that of Maduro, who brought an entire country down with him; the visible signs of sanctions are all around us with the thousands of Venezuelans who fled their country all because of a crippling sanction.
You may ask yourself the question, what would become of Guyana should Azruddin get into office? And the answer is our beloved country would go down with him. A sanction is not an ordinary matter that can easily be glossed over; it is a crippling and insuperable situation that all of us will have to face.
I must hasten to a close, so I would issue a stern warning to my fellow Guyanese: do not allow our country to go under with a sanctioned individual the likes of an Azruddin Mohamed. At this juncture of our development, we cannot afford to squander our gains with another experiment. Guyana, we must say, is focused with the PPP/C!

Yours Respectfully,
Neil Adams
