Berbice: President Donald Ramotar, at Babu John, Corentyne on Sunday, lashed out at anti government followers and critics of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C).
The event was attended by hundreds at Annual tribute to the late Leader of the PPP/C and Former President of Guyana, Dr. Cheddi Jagan.
Letter writer George Maxwell, Speaker of the National Assembly and Alliance for Change (AFC) Moses Nagamootoo were severely criticized.
He said the opposition forces “use their media; use their newspapers to try to recapture an era that has passed; an era when they sat and drank whiskey at the Georgetown Club and made decisions for Guyana. They hate the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), and they will forever hate the PPP because we brought an end to that era in this country…. “They were the smugglers, the backtrackers—they are the nobly rich who, today, have a lot of money, but they do not have political authority and they want to use the freedom of them media—which we gave them, which we fought and which many of our comrades died for.”
Ramotar praised the teachings and leadership of Dr. Jagan. He added that compared statistics from pre- 1992 and post- 1992, including debts, GDP rates, exports, minimum wage, per capita income, gold production, crop production of rice, amongst others “Guyana achieved those things because of Jagan’s foundation built from 1992.”
