Granger wants the government to create... From page 5 bent on impeding progress under this government, much more would have been done for his people, and all Guyanese. Granger wants the government to create jobs, but votes to kill job-creating initiatives like the Amaila Falls Hydroelectric Plant, the Marriott Hotel, the Specialty Hospital, and the CJIA Extension Project. He can’t have it both ways. Look, David Granger has served his country well. With the exception of the GDF seizure of ballot boxes in the 1973 General Election for which he has yet to explain his involvement or lack thereof, he has had an unblemished, distinguished military career. I believe Granger truly wants Guyana to develop… He just doesn’t want the PPP/C to be the party that does it. Mr. James should know that Granger does not need me “...to find the opposition leader wanting and to dissuade and discourage multitudes of people from supporting him”, he is doing a pretty good job of that all by himself. Last March, I attended the Bartica Regatta. My brother, a die-hard PNC supporter who has contributed immensely to that party for many years, called to ascertain whether I was comfortable, as accommodations there were limited for such a big event. I assured him that I was, as David Granger was staying at the same hotel. He then confessed his disappointment with the APNU Leader in ways I had never heard before. My brother worked his butt off to win votes and financial contributions for Granger during the 2011 election campaign, and Granger has never met him, thanked him, or even knew he existed. Shortly, thereafter, I met Granger in the lobby, and told him how disappointed my brother was.Although he
served as a councillor for years and is almost a household name in Region Three, my brother was right. Granger had never heard of him. During my conversation with Granger, I explained that as a military expert, he ought to know the importance of boosting the morale of his lieutenants in the field, even in the face of defeat. He asked for my brother’s information, and I gave it to him. He promised to see my brother and to thank him for his support. Six months later, my brother is still waiting for that call. Let me dispel a myth that Aubrey James is perpetrating in his letter. He wrote, “Mr. David Granger has demonstrated nothing but astute leadership, deep intellect, and sheer determination in the face of the daunting challenges posed by the PPP/C Government against his efforts to represent all Guyanese. He has stood up to the PPP and many of them are coming in line with a culture that is characterized by transparency and accountability. He has consistently been exposing the lies of the PPP/C Government in and out of parliament.” How ludicrous this statement is. This is nothing more than a shameless misrepresentation of the facts. All of the talking points used by both PNC/APNU and AFC on major issues are those expressed days before in the pages of Kaieteur News. Both APNU and AFC are known to piggyback on the issues published in Kaieteur News. Finally, Mr. James should know that although issues like Local Government Bills, the Procurement Commission and the Office of the Ombudsman are important constitutional matters, the ultimate concerns of most Guyanese are good-paying jobs; healthcare; education for their children; and a safe environment to live and raise
a family. David Granger will best serve Guyana’s interest in achieving these necessities by being less confrontational, more constructive, and more responsible in executing his duties as the Leader of the Opposition, and as a lawmaker. Guyana will never be able to progress if the opposition continues to behave like crabs in a barrel, pulling the government down at every opportunity they get. We all need to work together to achieve more for our people, and to make Guyana more competitive and respected in the region. I’m still hopeful that the needs of our people prevail over the personal ambitions of politicians. Harry Gill (From page 23)
before 26th October, 2011.” The Minister had claimed that because of the “clean and accurate” record-keeping, his Ministry has conceded that the situation was not a case of blatant fraud. According to Persaud, Budwah had indicated that he had “difficulties” and made use of the money towards a “special circumstance” that affected him on a personal level. However, “since it’s taxpayers’ money, due action had to be taken,” Persaud had stated. The Minister asserted that Budwah was relieved of his duties and was expected to replace the missing funds in full.
