Some time ago I wrote that Dr Roger Luncheon should just fade away into retirement,Cheap Authentic Jerseys, that he has outlived his usefulness. The recent pronouncements by the good doctor should convince everyone that he needs to go. As a spokesperson for the PPP the doctor is just plain arrogant and pompous.I am talking about his statements on the TV cable channel awarded to the Chinese. Dr. Luncheon seems to be implying that if he gives an order to a public servant he expects the public servant to obey; he is saying that the public servant cannot disobey his request, even though it may be illegal.Every time he opens his mouth, he makes some embarrassing statement. As the old saying goes it takes a lie to cover a lie. So it is with the Marriott hotel and the cable channel given to the Chinese. When the PPP Government gets cornered with conflicting statements on the award of the TV channel, it tells one lie after another. It also raises the question of who is in charge of awarding Radio and Television channels,China Jerseys Cheap, and what is the process.Guyanese are told that they have to conform to one procedure while the rules are completely different for the Chinese.It’s more important to have the Chinese TV than the one promised to the people of Linden. The rules seem different when they affect Guyanese and their sovereign rights. While we are on the subject of Guyanese rights it seems that the opposition parties and the trade unions are now awakening from their slumber over the issue of non Guyanese workers on the Marriott hotel job site.However it is not enough to issue condemnation, the opposition needs to act in a more concrete manner. Shortly after the last election one may recall that APNU had hundreds of protesters marching in Georgetown, AFC had theirs at Linden and Agricola. Now here is a genuine issue that the two parties can really protest about.I would want to see a blockade of the Marriott construction site, stopping all traffic, supplies, trucks, material etc from entering and leaving the site. Bring the construction to a halt,Wholesale Jerseys Cheap, until Guyanese workers are employed. This action by the government is a total disrespect and insult to the dignity of the entire labour force.To use the phrase from an old Guyanese politician, “this confounded nonsense” has to stop. Now here’s a quiz for my younger readers, “Which former Guyanese politician still alive today made that phrase famous?”You and I may not agree with Mark Benschop’s politics,Cheap Jerseys From China, but to give him credit, the man is consistent; he was there early with his placard protesting. It did not matter to him that it was only him and maybe one other person he was on the ground.That is what the entire opposition leaders and their members should have been doing. That is what the so called trade union leaders and their workers should have been doing.Guyanese need not make a stand now. By the way,Jerseys From China, does anyone know if a similar arrangement is in place for the new airport at Timehri? The government needs to come clean and say whether the contract stipulates non-Guyanese workers.The opposition should demand an answer in parliament. The PPP billed itself as a working class party. That may have been true years ago; its actions at the Marriott show whose interest it has at heart; it is certainly not in the interest of the working class.It must remember that it is the working class that put them there; the working class can also remove them.Those PPP leaders should ask themselves if Cheddi Jagan would have agreed to a contract like the Marriott. But then again the present day PPP hierarchy has moved away from Jagan’s working class roots long ago.President Donald Ramotar is taking the flack for contracts written by the Jagdeo regime,NFL Jerseys Cheap, but that does not absolve him; he is the President, he has the power to restore Guyanese right to work in their homeland. The question is, ‘Does he have the “guts” to do so?’Ralph Seeram can be reached at email: [email protected]
