“The AFC today’ by this wonderful launch, is not demonstrating that it is going it alone. On the contrary, we are saying to all those who are looking at us, assessing us, weighing and measuring us that this is what we stand for.”This is according to Leader of the Alliance for Change, Raphael Trotman, when he addressed the launching of the party’s election campaign on Saturday last at the Ocean View Convention Centre and told the gathering that the AFC was not formed to be a cloistered and closed place of elites, but rather the party’s very name suggests that it believes that alliance building and partnerships are at the very core of its existence.He said that in the coming weeks he proposes to become “very actively involved in pursuing the precise mandate of the National Conference to probe, assess,
Cheap NFL Jerseys, weigh, and scrutinise others from near and afar to see whether we can put aside personal fears, differences, ambitions and prejudices and be bold, patriotic and embracing enough to build the best team for Guyana’s next government; not starting at the pinnacle of power, but from within homes,
Cheap Jerseys USA, villages,
Cheap Jerseys Wholesale, communities, and within civil society,
Cheap Jerseys For Sale, and other political parties….We will search the highways and the by-ways.”Trotman acknowledges that the task ahead is a daunting one and has to be faced together, “and that there is little time left, too many little cocks of the rock strutting their stuff and that no one group can produce the result that the children of Guyana desire.”He said, “We all have something that the other lacks, and which Guyana needs…We each have a key to the multi-dimensional lock that imprisons Guyana.”The AFC leader said that it is time to put old quarrels aside and to ask neighbours and friends for help.He drew reference to the adage “the enemy of my enemy is my friend, adding that, it is time for forgiving, time for healing, and a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace.”Trotman impressed on the gathering that the party seeks to bring to Guyana change; “the kind of change in which our society sees the establishment, in our lifetime, of a just, equitable and unified democratic developed state…This was our founding vision in 2005 and it remains our permanent vision for today and tomorrow.”He said that their Action Plan for Guyana is an upgraded version from the one produced in 2006.The AFC Leader said that it is the most modern plan for Guyana’s transformation and development.“I am proud of this document in all its parts and particularly proud of the aspects that speak about Governance, including the removal of the Executive presidency, the re-positioning of the National Assembly to become a truly representative and deliberative people’s forum, the devolution of powers to the people and their local government organs and institutions…“I am equally proud of the sections on Youth,
Authentic Jerseys Cheap, Public Safety and Security, Hinterland Development and Mining.”He said, “This is a work in progress, very much like a painter’s canvass, in the weeks ahead we intend to engage you to challenge you and to be engaged and challenged on our vision and plans and to produce by the date of election,
Authentic NFL Jerseys Cheap, not a manifesto, but rather the blue print for government.”He said that his party is not ashamed to seek the people’s help in crafting a plan for them and refuses to do as others have done for decades by presenting Manifesto mere weeks before the election will be held and telling you to take it or leave it.“Instead we give you the right to say to us listen to what we say and do as we ask”.
