We must not forget the sufferings under the PNC
I am a strong believer in putting the past behind us and move ahead as we say life goes on. But we must not forget the sufferings we endured in this country under successive PNC governments.
Today many letter writers including myself make our own assumptions and opinions regarding issues that need addressing or maybe just a commentary.
Many letter writers seem extremely angry at the current administration and are fanning hatred amongst the populace.
When will this all end? When will people move this country ahead and stop the undemocratic bashing?
Yes, I may sound like a broken record but it needs repeating until the message gets across loud and clear.
Why are there so much hatred and disagreement with the PPP/Civic government that was democratically elected by a landslide? Many will either disagree or agree with this comment but if every election were held free and fair in Guyana during the twenty-six odd years of PNC dictatorship, the PPP would have won every one.
Why, when there were international observers in 1992, the PPP/C won those elections and all others that followed?
The PPP never rigged an election as their predecessors did during their time in power.
The PNC brought this country down to the poorest nation in the western hemisphere, unemployment was at a record high, they opened up the KSI shopping complex where party faithfuls and their friends were fully supplied with food items, while other Guyanese were forced to line up for hours just to obtain a few basic food items.
Banning of basic necessities was the order of the day in those times when the “Kabaka” was ruling supreme.
Potable water shortages, extended periods of black outs, broken roadways, no public transportation, were only some of the woes the Guyanese people faced in those days.
I am certain the Guyanese people would not like to see a return of those days.
How many demonstrations were allowed during the PNC regime? Freedom of expression was nonexistent during the days of the PNC and no one was allowed to vent his or her frustration.
These are important points the people need to know before making foolish statements.
