Dear Editor,
The purposeful ganging up of the political opposition parties discloses an accommodation of baby parties, one-man parties and defunct parties experiencing extreme paralysis, all in the vain hope of demonstrating strength in the misguided pursuit of bringing down the democratically-elected PPP/C government.
If one takes a closer look at some of the more prominent leaders, it wouldn’t be too difficult to identify the assumed front-runner who has a shameful unbridled proclivity to seek outside help; a duet burdened with hang-ups over previous political associations; and yet another hanging on to a defunct party. Underpinning this feeble conglomeration is the burning personal desire for power-sharing, leading to occupying some official position in a governing administration of the country.
Sadly, it is an astounding exercise in futility and a clear case of self-delusion to believe that concocted allegations will attract the attention of busy officialdom concerned with the serious business affecting their respective national responsibilities.
On the question of the engineered claim that damage is being done to the credibility of the government as a result of the disclosures emanating from the New York court case of accused lawyer Robert Simels, President Bharrat Jagdeo has oft-times repeated that his government has never officially been in engagement with drug trafficker Roger Khan, moreso in regard to the procurement of eavesdropping spy equipment.
Granted, Minister Leslie Ramsammy may be under the gun based on the sworn evidence by a self-proclaimed bandit in the Simels’ case, but surely until such time as incontrovertible evidence emerges to implicate the government, one has to be mindful about precipitately laying blame. But so far as the ganging-up parties are concerned, they seem to have allowed themselves to be guided by political expediency.
Yours faithfully,
David DeGroot
