At the time of writing this, a declaration had not yet been made for the general and regional elections which were held in March. Many have lost hope while some still cling steadfast to whatever narratives are served up daily by their media outlet of choice.
Today, I am taking an introspective look at our leaders and their lives with the hope of finding some clues of what might be to come, with careful reflection on how I previously interpreted them.
In 2015, David Granger rose like liberator – a knight in shining armour. He began his presidency on a natural high. After years of blatant corruption, nepotism, and extra-judicial killings paired with Guyana being famed for its underground narco-economy, gold smuggling, human trafficking and arms-trading rackets, it was easy for him to appear as a saint when compared to his opponent. He understood optics as well. I remember as clear as day seeing the picture of him driving himself to church after he was sworn in.
