Dear Editor,
There will be no protest action much less major protest actions in Region 10 to halt the terrible and blatant discrimination visited on Linden and the region by the PPP government. That is because Region 10 Chairman, Mr. Deron Adams believes that protest action will give the PPP and investors an excuse as why they should not bring development to Linden. Therefore, the CEO of Linden Hospital Complex can fire who he wants to, he can put handcuffs on the gates of the hospital to lockout doctors and nurses, he can continue to be toxic as much as he likes… the RC hopes that the media can highlight these things so that the government may have a change of heart and see the wrongs corrected.
The government can continue to pay one of its activists, who is the prime minister’s representative at Linden, hundreds of thousands every month to store medical supplies at his private residence and that representative can continue to give hampers to PPP supporters only and leave the rest to spoil but there will be no protest action. Contractors can come from outside of Region 10 to do contracts there and walk with their own workers while refusing to give work to the people in that Region but the RC believes that there should be no protest action because it will stop a septic tank being built in Linden by contractors from another part of the country who will import workers from outside to do the job.
If Deron Adams is confused as to his role of a politician in these crucial times and is operating with his “church boy” hat on, he must make a decision and dedicate his time and energy to the house of clergy. He insults every one of his predecessors who stood up to the hegemonic rule of that wicked government. He insults the sacrifices that were made by those who give their lives in the Linden Struggle of 2012. He believes that the PPP will get an epiphany and decides to do right by those in our strongholds if they are asked nicely by the media.
When people tell me it is the people of Linden who have gotten soft and accepting oppression without standing up like we are known to do historically, I had my doubts. Listening to the Regional Chair-man at today’s PNCR Press Conference my doubts are now confirmed.
It is the leaders at Linden that are “weaking out” and I wonder why? Deron must know that protest actions can take form against him if he doesn’t change his narrative and lead like his predecessors.
Sincerely,
