Dear Editor,
This is a land of confusion, led by a man with a confused mind. The contradictory statements by President Granger tax the most reasonable minds to stay calm. This is not an issue broached lightly nor for scoring cheap political point.
On the 4th July he said “It was also agreed that the exchange of names, or this submission of names, will include also suggestions which the President presented for inclusion on that list. I said it was up to the Leader of the Opposition to submit the names of persons who had already been submitted on the previous three lists.” Then on the 12th July he said “It is unfortunate that, despite the meetings between the two sides, the Leader of the Opposition rejected the idea of acting in a consensual manner. He chose to put forward candidates for the post who have been rejected previously.” Both statements were made on NCN television and are available on social media for review.
The confused nature of Granger’s mind also surfaced publicly when he failed to see what he had ‘done wrong’ after the CCJ ruled that he violated the Constitution in making a unilateral appointment for the position of Gecom Chairman. Now Granger wants to submit names to Jagdeo for re-submission to himself. Who thinks this is sensible behaviour?
“Guyanese, the Constitution of Guyana is sacrosanct and supreme” but the Cabinet will not resign; I have no doubt that Granger will attempt to pass new legislation and for all of this, there are those that are cheering on Granger’s behaviour.
I do not believe that David Arthur Granger wants to be remembered for the latest series of ‘contradictory’ statements. The people surrounding him need to take heed and offer his legacy protection if warranted.
Yours faithfully,
Robin Singh
