Dear Editor, I have no doubt that if there was a redo of the general election right now, the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) would win and with such a large majority that no amount of skullduggery could overturn the victory. Every rice farmer and sugar worker, every sex worker who saw “I is Broomes” at work, every parent of a school-aged child, and every Indian and Amerindian Guyanese who are seeing the ethnic cleansing of the civil service would vote right now for a return of the PPP. It is not even a 100 days yet and we have already learnt our lesson, and a bitter lesson it is. Even with its warts and all, the PPP would be better than the current ineptitude and insensitivity that the Granger Administration is displaying. There is not even a twinge of embarrassment or discomfort when talking about a return to rice flour? It is not even rice flour per se but all that it represents. It is a symbol of everything that had to be endured and suffered during the long People’s National Congress (PNC) dictatorship. The PPP must rebuild and regain the moral high ground and get itself ready to return to office. Its landslide victory at the next election will be so large and clear that no amount of fraud would be enough to overturn the win. To regain its moral authority, the party needs to take some tough decisions like shedding itself of its liabilities. Mr Anil Nandlall, Dr Bheri Ramsaran and Ms Jennifer Westford have to go. They cannot be Parliamentarians. The PPP must understand all that is at stake for the country’s future and show that it has the integrity and toughness to do the right thing. It cannot be business as usual.
Sincerely, Shanie Jagessar
