The AFC’s Leaders have been the focus of phantom picketers for the past week as a strange and confused group continues to stage daily picketing exercises outside of the offices of the Leader Mr. Raphael Trotman, and Chairman of the Party, Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan.
The group of misguided young people, and a few helpless senior citizens, most of whom hid their faces from the public when approached, and were unsure what was required of them, was organized by Kwame Mc Koy who operates out of the Office of the President. They exhibited placards that reflected slogans that were recognized as being part of the PPP’s fear and smear campaign against the AFC.
The point must be made that the behavior of some in the group was vulgar and aggressive. Nevertheless, the AFC leadership notes the increased attacks on the Party as proof that the AFC is the primary source of worry as we approach the 2011 elections. The Party has been reliably informed that more protests of the same kind are planned against its leaders, and that the exercise is being financed by tax payers’ money being disbursed by the Office of the President. It is said, that who the gods want to destroy, they first make mad. We are witnessing the madness that is descending on our dear land daily.
If ever there was confirmation that the AFC has become the thorn in the side of the regime, and is posing a serious threat to its dominance of the political space and its ability to form the next government, it is confirmed by these ridiculous protests. We say ridiculous because in conversation with one of the protesters, he gleefully said that he was able to demand, and receive, $10,000 for the day’s exercise from the “intellectual authors” to do the mischief whilst the others settled for a mere $5,000 a day. The AFC is neither impressed nor intimidated by the shenanigans of the PPP, and will relentlessly continue to expose the corruption, bad governance, and lawlessness of this regime. It is important to note that these privileged picketers were not arrested for not wearing arm bands, and for the noise they make, whilst others such as Mark Benschop, Lincoln Lewis, and Norris Witter, were hauled away, detained in filthy lockups, and charged for unlawful protests. The people are looking on. We know we are in for a rough fight, but nothing good comes easy and we shall persevere.
The people of Guyana will be the ultimate victors as we see the backs of the PPP/C in 2011. We are moving from third force to first choice and onward to victory. It may appear as though it is confusion but it is not. Guyanese are urged to stand strong and in faith, and to believe that this country will be divinely directed and is destined for greatness. It is time to assert ourselves as citizens and take our country back. The strength is in our combined efforts and in our individual convictions of our .
Below are the photographs of the building from which the Paid, Pitiful Protesters (PPP) are operating at the corner of Oronoque and Regent Streets (Office of the Guyana Youth Development Association), and the mini bus BLL 5308 that transports them from venue to venue. It is a Guyanese secret which Office of the President minion controls the building. It is a pity that instead of developing the youth of Guyana towards a better life, they are being hired to protesters. The AFC will ensure that our youth are respected, educated, and provided with wholesome opportunities for their personal development.
