Is the priority at this stage ethnic and gender balance, or the best person for the job? We only have to recollect the incompetence of the likes of Priya and many others who gave a bad name to their race and gender.
It should be the best person for the job. And talent in Guyana comes in both genders, and in many ethnicities. It would be hoped that this would be reflected.
However it is hard to believe that the PPP could have only found Indian males, and it is hypocritical for those who endorsed that to suddenly demand inclusiveness.
Freddie K can write all he wishes about the exclusion of Indians, and I will listen, and maybe even support him. Because he risked his life, and that of his wife and kids to speak out against what an Indian elite was doing to Africans.
In fact not too long ago there were some here even calling him a self hating Indians for speaking out against Indian racism.
But the hypocrites who called me a racist when I spoke of African exclusion have NO RIGHT to say anything on this topic. Ditto when they all piled on Freddie K.
They lack the moral authority to complain about ethnic exclusion, and only do so when it is THEY who are being excluded!
