PNC
had no complaints against Constitution before ’92
Most
people find it strange that the very people in the PNC in the
1960s who are clamouring for power sharing were able to remain in
office through rigged elections for 28 years having absolutely no
problem with the Westminster form of Government and with what they
refer to as the ‘winner-take-all’ system!
Now, they are finding almost everything wrong with it and with the
very Constitution that they imposed on the Guyanese people in
1980. At that time it was called “the People’s
Constitution.”
They are attributing all the problems we still have in the country
to the form of governance, which we had, but they are not telling
us that they were in government for 28 years and stoutly defended
every action they took as being done within the framework of that
very Constitution.
“It wasn’t us, it was the system,” according to them. Now,
of course, everything is the fault of the PPP/Civic Government!
They
didn’t have any problem with the Constitution before 1992. Now
they would have us believe that all the problems commenced from
the moment the PPP/Civic won office.
They are not even ashamed of the very absurdity of their
propaganda, seemingly bent desperately to try and rewrite history.
But how many people can they fool - except those who are willing
to be fooled and enjoy being fooled?
Yours
faithfully,
Yonette Gonsalves
