DEAR APNU/AFC – please tell us what have you achieved in the last Parliament with your one seat majority?
It seemed that your focus was on dominating the halls of Power by positioning yourselves as Speaker and Deputy Speaker and saying no to everything else. The desire for power is once again seen in your new “Power Structure” where the top positions of President and Prime Minister are not enough for you. So, you created more….Vice-Presidents, a relic of the past that still sends shivers down our spines as we remember the dark days of the PNC rule.
I believe that the last Parliament presented unique opportunities to show the people of Guyana that you had evolved, but instead you chose to cut budgets, put people on the breadline, stop development projects, stop the construction of our specialty hospital. Who in their sane mind would vote against a hospital or funding for students to get loans to go to UG? Rather than make the election promise of more money for UG and education, please explain to us voters why did you cut it in the first place?
Were or are you so intent on punishing the ruling party that you didn’t care about us, the people of Guyana? Such vengefulness has no place in our dear country.
MAHADEO PERSAUD.
