The new Forde that I am liking

Dear Editor 

In recent weeks, Roysdale Forde has been demonstrating that side of him that many thought he did not have; he is now making it clear that he is a standup guy. It is a side that the hundreds of thousands of Guyanese who’ve been battered by the PPP dictatorship, wish to see. He is showing strength and seems ready to enter the ring with any of his opponents.

Outside of the cool guy persona and an intellectual spirit that reveals a brilliant legal mind, there has never been any doubt about his intelligence. In fact, none can venture to question the depth of his analytical genius. Forde, the politician and lawyer, is a deep thinker and a strategist of the highest pedigree.

While he would not sink to levels unbecoming of who he is, ‘Va Va Voom’ Forde is serious about leading from the front. He has not shied away from publicly stating that he is ready to walk in protest against the terrible wrongs of the hegemonic regime and his public pronouncements either in speech or print are powerful and direct. 

One can expect to see the Senior Counsel standing in the forefront of the teacher’s protest for better wages and salaries and in Mocha with the people who are losing their lands at the hands of the PPP Oligarchy.

The new Forde will definitely have Guyanese, who wish to see justice and fairness in that country, reposing confidence in him. ‘Va Va Voom’ on Royo. I am liking that part of you that was in reserve for the moment when you are ready to lead.

Sincerely,

Norman Browne,
