Dear Editor,
Having much regard for the efforts of the late David de Caires, a Guyanese lawyer and the founder of Stabroek News in fighting for press freedom and democracy in Guyana, it is a sad day when on November 27, the cowardly editors of Stabroek News, more aware than many of Guyana’s embattled state against efforts to subvert that very democracy, think it appropriate to run a picture on its front page, promoting the fallacy of the PPP’s legitimacy in office. There was President Donald Ramotar sitting in the ‘good company’ of none other than the ‘distinguished’ ‘Sir’ Shridath Ramphal.
Shridath Ramphal should know that as at the time of taking this photograph, he has appeared to align himself with the unprincipled PPP administration and the confounding of Guyana’s democratic systems.
The world should be reminded today that justice is not synonymous with power, authority and education.
Yours faithfully,
Craig Sylvester
