Dear Editor,
President Bharrat Jagdeo, the PPP and Opposition Leader Robert Corbin continue to shield the trigger-happy Kellawan Lall. Your newspaper quoted PPP General Secretary Donald Ramotar (who now wants to be president) as saying, “Kellawan Lall was spoken to very seriously about this issue by the party.”
I want Mr Ramotar to know that this is not enough. Kellawan Lall must be removed as a minister of government; he is a disgrace to the entire nation. Really, I am not surprised at all by Jagdeo and Ramotar’s utterances, however, I am shocked that Robert Corbin has decided to sit on the sidelines and observe the situation while suggesting that the people would have to censure Kellawan Lall.
Come on Mr Corbin, you can do better; after all, you are the Opposition Leader and it is the PNCR’s duty to ensure that Lall be removed.
Take the lead (for once) Robert, and the people of Guyana will follow. The time for pussy-footing is over. Kellawan Lall must go.
Yours faithfully,
Mark Benschop
