I write in response to the former Prime Minister Mr Samuel A.A. Hinds’s missive published in the 5th June 2020 edition of the Stabroek News: captioned, `I favour inclusive government rather than a shared PPP/C and PNCR cabinet’.
The former Prime Minister made an appeal directed to the younger generation of Guyanese to whom he seeks to sell the PPP/C as a party of electoral “angels” with no history of rigging elections.
This observation is important since the former PM was the direct beneficiary of rigging in favour of the PPP/C in the 2006 General and Regional Elections, when he was allotted a parliamentary seat won by the AFC.
As Prime Minister in the PPP/C government from 1992 to 2015 Hinds shared collective responsibility for the systemic marginalization of the African and Indigenous communities, and the killing of African young men by state-sponsored death squads.
’” Mr Hinds will serve the nation well in this endeavour if he starts the process by being truthful that he was a beneficiary of election rigging for the PPP/C when he occupied the parliamentary seat won by the AFC in the 2006 elections.
