The inexperienced and incompetent President of Guyana, Bharat Jagdeo made it possible for the following:
The frequent visit to Guyana by Sir Paul Reeves
The canceled UK conference on Guyana
The UN Rapporteur visit to Guyana
UK
conference is slap in Govt.’s face
THE JULY Conference organized
by the UK Government to discuss Guyana’s future is - deservedly - a slap in the
face of a Government that has presided over the slaughter of its ethnic
constituents for more than 15 months. What is, however, insulting to these
constituents and the majority of decent Guyanese, is the selection of a clique
of goodly men, by the powers that be, who supposedly can dictate the way forward
for everyone in this multiethnic nation. What arrogance!
Who do these
goodly gentlemen speak for? What qualifies such a man as Hugh Cholomondely? Is
it because as a specialist in conflict resolution, he sat by passively and
watched the atrocities committed by his kith and kin without uttering a word of
condemnation?
What qualifies the architect of the Burnham
constitution - Sir Shridat Ramphal? Is it because he has the
capacity to sit from afar and passively watch the slaughter of his kith and
kin?
What qualifies the learned Dr. Clive Thomas? Is it because he has the
capacity to theorize and explain away the atrocities committed by his kith and
kin?
Perhaps His Excellency Hiscock
can tell us the criteria used for selecting these gentlemen.
