Attacking the US Ambassador, American corporate executives in poor taste; apology demanded

Dear Editor,

COLUMNIST and supposedly Godsent , GHK Lall , has egregiously breached protocol with his personal attacks on US Ambassador Sarah Ann Lynch, and Exxon Country Head Alistair Routledge.

Referring to her Excellency, Sarah Ann Lynch , and Alistair Routledge , Lall barks the following insult: “Their verbal sorceries are seen through their maternalism and paternalism discerned for the cheapness and insulting nature of both, and the ravages wreaked on a poor, backward nation under democracy and contract sanctity.” (KN6/26/2023)

Here is the definition of sorcery according to Cambridge dictionary: “A type of magic in which spirits, especially evil ones, are used to make things happen.”

So what we have here is a privileged Guyanese man of religion who recently claimed that he was doing God’s work, attacking the American ambassador, and the head of Guyana’s number one source of FDI in the languages of the evil ones

Not to leave out his favourite object of daily personal attacks, GHK Lall says the following about Vice President, Dr Bharrat Jagdeo : “ He cowers … before geopolitical and geostrategic imperatives, fears the political implications of raising his hand and voice.”

What this time we have here is a paper-tiger messing around with a lion It is comical and does not require any substantive response In what follows; therefore, I ask for the attention of the Guyanese people, not for Paper-Tiger GHK Lall

Let me address the blatant and callous insult against Ambassador Lynch, whose contributions to Guyana became legendary in real time

Ambassador, allow me to apologise on behalf of all Guyanese for the boorishness of Mr GHK Lall We also take this opportunity to thank you for your courageous , determined , and selfless service to this country Your defense of democracy will never be forgotten, nor will we allow those displaying infantile temper-tantrums to impugn your credibility or your record

As for Mr Alistair Routledge , although we wished that the APNU+AFC had negotiated a better contract for Guyana, we do underscore that the principle of the sanctity of the contract is sound, and shall be defended

You know that new legislation to govern our natural resources is now under review You also know that future PSAs will deliver considerably more benefits to the Guyanese economy, and people

But what is also especially important for you to know is that we will not, I repeat, we will not go back to the days of kicking out foreign investors only to return to them later, bent-doubled, with effusive prayers for forgiveness, and a little philanthropic assistance

To the Guyanese people who are daily subjected to the insults of development defectors like Melinda Janki and GHK Lall, you should know that last year Exxon Mobil invested $39.2 billion in our oil and gas industry, and
