Performance?

Dear Editor,

 

Political billboards are everywhere. Some, not all, attract and hold one’s attention. Sadly I saw none which spoke to the subject of honesty.

The most arresting one I saw read as follows

Don’t trust Promises

Trust Performance

Re-elect Donald Ramotar

I thought and I wondered and I searched and I found it: Stabroek News 23 November 2011. Presidential Candidate Donald Ramotar speaking at Annandale said “we are going to fight corruption and try to root it out root and branch”.

Promise? I think so. Performance? I leave it to the readers and voters to judge.

 

Yours faithfully,
Rashleigh E. Jackson
