…says such conduct will not go without consequences

Leader of the People’s National Congress/Reform (PNC/R) and former President of Guyana, David Granger has warned the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Administration against targeting members of society in acts of aggression without just cause.

Delivering a statement live Friday morning on his party’s online platform, the PNC/R leader said that it did not take the PPP/C long before it reverted to its “dangerous pattern” which has negatively impacted innocent persons and those perceived to be politically affiliated. He said that such unbecoming acts would not go without consequence. “Guyanese, the People’s Progressive Party, within hours of the swearing-in of the new President following the ‘declaration’ issued by the Chairman of the Elections Commission…commenced a vulgar, divisive and vindictive campaign of alienation, discrimination and separation against former A Partnership for National Unity + Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) Coalition ministers and members of Guyana’s Public Service,” he said.

“Former ministers whose normal residences are located in the rural and hinterland regions were swiftly ordered to vacate their government quarters, unreasonably, within 36 hours. Public servants were locked out of their offices without explanation. Contracted officials were threatened with arbitrary and summary termination of their service.”

Indeed, media reports are that at least four former government ministers were given 36 hours to vacate the government property they were occupying at various locations Georgetown. Letters giving the order were dispatched form Clerk of the National Assembly, Sherlock Isaac after he was instructed to do so by recently-appointed Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance Gail Teixeira.

Meanwhile, APNU+AFC Region Three Information Officer and General Manager of the Guyana Chronicle, Ganesh Mahipaul was asked to vacate the government property he occupies at Leonora on the West Coast of Demerara within an unreasonable 72 hours. The instruction came from the PPPP/C Administration through the Regional Chairman, Julius Faerber.

Mahipaul responded: “…if it is the desire of the newly formed Government to have me vacate the Government house, I respectfully request that it be done within the confines of the laws of Guyana and in keeping with the Public Service Rules.

There were also media reports that several staff attached to the Ministry of the Presidency were asked to resign just days after President Irfaan Ali assured Guyanese that public servants have “nothing to fear” under his administration. The Former President and PNC/R Leader said that he is reminded of the violence unleashed by “PPP hooligans against” innocent schoolchildren travelling in a school bus at Bath Settlement in the Mahaica-Berbice Region on March 6, 2020 not long after the elections. He said that an atmosphere of “fear and loathing” enveloped the nation both then and now and this should not be expected after elections in our country.

As such, he warned: “The People’s National Congress warns the People’s Progressive Party to desist from pursuing this dangerous pattern of aggression against officials, members of society and persons perceived to belong to other political parties. The PPP will bear responsibility for the consequences of its conduct.”
