2021 view in rear view 2020
Dear Editor,
Wake up and smell the aromatic smell of a brand new year, 2021, the freshness of the freshness of a new beginning, or, the headache of a terrible old-boiled year, accompanied by the trauma of a splitting headache. For a difficult and proven year 2020 has been for everyone to see the writing on the wall. The impartial Guyanese read what was written as fate, a presidency that was always going to end, except, the APNU + AFC single-track party, which he couldn’t read because they were blinded by the color green with greed . The year turned a leap into all the fears one can imagine, embroidered in a cauldron, brewing poisonous pills, boisterous politics, provocative politicians and pepper filters. In a year that started on the wrong foundation, Guyana was doomed from the start, deeply stained with the corrupt APNU + AFC Party proliferating in disguise and playing the cat and mouse game, while hiding from a vicious incident and seek asylum in search of delayed time. The answer was blowing in the wind from day one of the year, but the covert APNU + AFC administration failed to hear the sound of the wind screaming for which the bells rang. In trying to tame the powerful sea while toiling under a burning sun, Granger’s avarice pampered with a lost cause while pointing at a dead horse, with the cart before the horse headed in the wrong direction. A heartless and reckless party, they had already dug their own graves, but waited around to see who will be attending their funerals. Sadly, a gun salute was nothing but utter silence from a crowd that separated from once royal friends, who now refused to shake hands with a “sacred gangster” and his band of rebels. Madness anointed the demonic thoughts of proverbial and perverted fanatics who loved to grasp a sinking straw in their orphan discussion. In a bad quest with no rest, Granger was ready, willing and able to sacrifice the innocent lamb, kneeling in disgrace and begging in mockery. Who would beat down on empty threats, illogical disguise and courageous ambition? Oh, “the truth hurts” and “losers can’t be choosers.”
In another pot in the same playground, he boiled the ingredients of peaceful probability, promising personalities, potential profitability and progressive prosperity. The battle raged up the hills over countless days and sleepless nights but was ignited by a flame of determination and sparked by a spark of Divinity. It was hard work and no play for the patient PPP / C Party who chartered a course of skilled maneuverability and remained dedicated to a worthy cause for the persecuted, painful and punitive Guyanese. From the beginning of the year, the PPP / C Party never failed in its royal and loyal mission, under the influence of bullies who violated the rights of the innocent and exploited the naive, gullible, simpletons and nonchalant. The carefully selected PPP / C Party aimed to embark on a parallel campaign by Hillary Clinton, “Stronger Together For A Better Guyana,” a winning slogan that breathed the true reflection of heroes returning from a battered, but not beaten, battle War. This meaningful motto paved the way strategically to occupy the President’s seat with the significant assistance of important players and numerous stakeholders from the national, regional and international community. From a hard fight, the war is far from over and phase two has now begun. The PPP / C Party had to humble themselves with “déjà vu,” going in with wide eyes and open minds to accept a challenge reminiscent of past trials and not reminisce about anyone of the predicted oppressions. Guyanese woke up to the good news that the country is once again in strong and firm grip, culpable and capable of transforming a bankrupt nation riddled with financial misconduct, into a developing nation saddled with effective efficiency and productive achievements. Ambidextrous administration, knowledgeable in experiential management and confident in informed refinement, this dual exposure formed the hub of youth government, striving to drive the country to the heights of a minimum time, minus corruption and hereditary collusion.
In a new year, breathing a sigh of relief, Guyanese wonders whether the APNU + AFC Party will finally take responsibility for their cruelty, greed and selfishness. Will Mr David Granger eventually acknowledge all his wrong deeds and own the abusers of his party? Will there be revenge or retribution and, who will repent of all the mistakes, or, anger the facts and figures as they transparently develop to embody the nemesis of a party at risk? Will this be the year when the Coalition party consciously and significantly “don’t stop progress” as they brand and bleed the drums is as ironic in their re-election campaign as their slogan to serve Guyanese in the coming years? As a “fit and prophet” leader, David Granger and his bunch of joyful men and women are “contracted” by a vision for a good life for all Guyanese and will not bind the electorate. Of course, the APNU + AFC Party is full of “honest and genuine people with integrity” and contains no “hoaxes or fraud.” Thus, from their own statements, there is no reason why Guyanese should foresee more lies and deceit by honorable men and women who mean well to their compatriots. They have publicly communicated that, working hand in hand for the benefit of the people, they will see eye to eye, to develop this nation without any distraction, hindrance or undermining democracy.
This year 2021, the PPP / C party finds itself with a rural challenge and a huge task to implement their campaign manifesto, and, to realize Guyanese dreams with all their promises. Their biggest obstacles will be to fund their projected goals and objectives in an unfriendly environment again and gain the confidence of a diverse crowd, still persuaded by political propaganda and ethnic oppression, creating barriers and boundaries. The after-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to make further progress in the daily struggle for survival, and, the PPP / C party has no choice but to flow with the tide until the availability of any vaccines becomes a reality in Guyana . Their job is very onerous because Guyanese still fail to adhere to strict protocols required, to prevent, contain and isolate the spread of this virus. Protecting the Guyanese people is not a surrendered relationship as the crime situation is continually deteriorating with questionable functional police, they themselves are covered with horrific speculations and substantiated accusations. The PPP / C government plate is not only full but overflows with an operational agenda and they still need room to deal with the unscrupulous commitments of the previous administration, including misrepresentation, misconduct, misconduct, misconduct, fraud and infringement ‘ the law. But, regardless of this miserable outlook, the country is reassured and the people are confident that the country has a compassionate and intelligent leader in Dr. Irfaan Ali, openly eclectic, led by a spirit of higher power, showing respect for fairness and equality and who will abide by law and order and abide by rules and regulations. Thus, Guyana is not only in good and safe hands, but Guyanese future is defensively protected and this year gives no reason to repent. The twilight of the old year is no longer with us and it is in the back view, but a new year is in the scene, greeting us with the dawn of new life. So he wrote the moving finger, and after writing, he moves on. Please if you have a happy, healthy, prosperous, safe, peaceful and blessed Guyana New Year.
Respectfully,
Jai Lall
