“We waan Justiss!” – What is justice?
As the Emergency 2020 Budget debate was being concluded, the revitalized PPP General Secretary – Vice President- Member of Parliament, Comrade Bharrat Jagdeo lamented: “Mr Speaker there are no honest interlocutors on the other side…”
I was and am persuaded that he was, by and large, accurate in assessment and conclusion. For even as he was speaking Intelligence Officer Harmon’s PNC Opposition was walking out in protest. At Jagdeo’s presence? Presentation? I’m not too sure.
But to many interested even concerned citizens like me, it was the new PNC’s display of the planned politics of protest and acrimony. They had brought protest from West Coast Berbice village roads and perhaps, also from the impatient nurses, to the Parliament Chamber.
