The Decline of a Once-Proud Nation; How Guyana Has Fallen Under the PPP  

My grandparents tell me that there was a time when Guyanese people were known for their dignity, intelligence, and strong moral character. We were a people who valued education, hard work, and integrity. Our leaders, though not perfect, at least carried themselves with a sense of honor and responsibility. But today, under the rule of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), we have allowed ourselves to be degraded, our national pride eroded, and our moral compass shattered.  

A government of criminals and thugs is what we have endure today. Look at what we have become. The PPP administration has filled its ranks with some of the most despicable characters imaginable, ministers accused of raping little boys and girls who remain in power, shielded by political connections; money launderers and drug traffickers operating with impunity while ordinary citizens struggle to make ends meet; extrajudicial killers who have turned our security forces into instruments of terror rather than justice; domestic abusers and violent offenders, men who beat women yet still hold high office; and a Parliament filled with uneducated, classless brigands who shout obscenities instead of debating policies, turning our highest legislative body into a vulgar spectacle. Is this the Guyana our parents and grandparent once knew? Is this the legacy we want for our children?  

The Vulgarization of Our Society continues. The PPP has not just corrupted our institutions, they have infected our culture with their vulgarity. Once, Guyanese people were known for their decency, their wit, and their resilience. Now, we are becoming a society where crassness is celebrated, where corruption is normalized, and where ignorance is worn as a badge of honor.  We have allowed this to happen. By staying silent, by accepting bribes for votes, by pretending not to see the rot, we have become complicit in our own degradation.  

 Reclaiming Our Pride is a necessity. It is time to wake up. We must demand better, for ourselves, for our children, and for the future of Guyana. We must refuse to be governed by criminals, rapists, and thieves. We must restore the values that once made us a proud and intelligent people.  The Guyana my grandparents remember, the Guyana of dignity, honor, and strength, still exists within us. But we must fight to bring it back.  

Enough is enough.
