THE Alliance for Change has made its worst strategic blunder in its short lifespan. For the first time I have witnessed such intense anger being focused directly on the treachery and lies being peddled by the AFC.
I have written volumes about the lies and deceit, but for the first time, many Berbicians who have supported the AFC in the past, have come out openly and condemned the coalition between the AFC and APNU, and are crying betrayal. Sugar workers are so angry that they have become paranoid.
Ever since the prorogation of Parliament, presenters such as Ramayya, Ramjattan, Samad, Mark Ross and Charrandass Persaud have been vociferously denying the coalition talks between APNU and AFC. But the truth is now in the open.
Following months of controversy, the Ministry of Communities today announced that Regional Executive Officer of Region 6 Dr Veerasammy Ramayya has resigned.
Ramayya has been at loggerheads with the Regional Administration for months with accusations of him not functioning adequately in his position.
FUTURE PLANS
As for the future, Ramayya said he is taking a break from the political arena as he is being sidelined by those who are above him.
“Right now I don’t have any consideration for no political party, the ministers are calling me and blaming me for not giving people jobs, but they never come to find out exactly what is going on… so I need a few months break and I will go back to my television programme, ‘The issues of the people,’ then decide what I will do, because whenever I speak out I’m told I’m lambasting the government but when I used to do it before with the previous administration it was ok.â€
He said he will continue to speak out about the injustices facing the people of Berbice without any fear. Ramayya, an executive member of the AFC, was appointed REO of Region Six after the APNU+AFC coalition government won the national elections last year.
The sugar workers should be sent home. Sugar is now a dirty word in many developed countries. The agricultural sector needs to move to products that are more in demand. They can start growing the stuff that they are otherwise importing from as far away as China etc.

Offer them redundancy and send them on a retraining course. There are loads of jobs in Guyana that require the skill of being able to use a cutlass.
