Dear Editor,
In the year 1963 the great R&B singer Sam Cooke wrote the song “A change is Gonna Come.” This song was released in December of 1964. It has been almost sixty years ago and for the most part, the depressed people all over the world continue to repeat this message.
The preponderance of evidence that can be used in a court of law is overwhelming to convict the Government of Guyana beyond a reasonable doubt of malfeasance, corruption and racism. Afro Guyanese and East Indians not affiliated to the Ruling PPP/C, are experiencing hell. Yet the government’s mantra of “One Guyana,” seems to reverberate throughout the Caribbean and the world at large. President Ali’s skills as a leader has hoodwinked the United States and some African leaders. The government’s onslaught on Afro Guyanese within their daily lives has been a sentence of death.
Unfortunately, there is no pushback from the Opposition Party to neutralize the atrocities committed against Afro Guyanese. Its leadership remains pernicious. As such it is imperative that a new Leader be elected to take the helm of the Opposition. Senior Counsel Roysdale Forde has been working arduously to augment the deficiencies of the current leadership of the Opposition Party. Mr. Forde has outlined a vision for the Opposition at the last Town Hall meetings in Brooklyn NY and in New Jersey, on May 10th and 11th 2024 respectively.
How can a people be freed, unless there is a leader? Shadow Minister of Legal Affairs in Parliament, Roysdale Forde is that Leader! He is the good Shepherd who continues to work Pro Bono on cases in defense of the working poor. The good Shepherd looks after his sheep and we are confident that this Senior Counsel is more than befitting to lead the Guyanese people into greener pastures. A change is gonna come; only if we rally around Roysdale and elect him as leader of the Opposition at the next Biannual Congress.
Yours truly,
John St Felix.
