President pleads to Lindeners for normalcy in open letter

“The Government never intended to remove the subsidy applied to electricity, and we are not removing the subsidy as was so dishonestly told to you. This was never our intention.”
Ramotar stated that Government had proposed a phased programme of reductions of the subsidy, which would have resulted in gradual increases in tariffs in a way that would have avoided hardships. He said that Government had also suggested other models to minimize the impact of the increases on the vulnerable, such as bauxite pensioners.
“At the same time we aimed to encourage conservation. All of these things were not told to you because desperate ‘extremists’ wanted to use this issue to promote their personal agenda for power,” Ramotar charged.

“We are looking stupid. We know that the people will resist but we may have to use some force if necessary. We can’t allow this to go on all the time,” a senior Joint Services official told Kaieteur News.

Where is the opposition leaders on this issue? Ramjattan was screaming then...what about now? Where is Trotman? What type of leadership is this?


It is anarchy, and the people will have to learn to live with it. 

“The organizers of the blockades are hurting Linden and causing deep suffering to interior communities in Regions 7, 8 and 9. The hurt is not just because of what is happening now, but also its likely effects on the future of Linden.

Cappo, politics aside....this is time for leadership. The lawlessness is not acceptable. And pandering to criminals is what the ppp does best. But the opposition silence on this alos tells us that they are jsut as impotent, and will not stand by the law abiding citizenry, but will facilitate the thugs and their actions.

“Jobs of Lindeners are being placed in jeopardy. The call centre in Linden could face closure soon. Bosai is also being hurt. This can but only discourage that company from making the future investments that it had planned, investments that would have rebounded to the benefit of the people of Linden.”

forget about politics and all that crap


why does the president need to apoligise to rebels
it's war go in and take them out

“The actions of the extremists are therefore jeopardizing the future of your community. Linden as a destination for future investments is being harmed by what is taking place at present. These actions must be halted before they inflict further harm to the future development of Linden.

Watch how much money will be pumped into Linden after this. I hope the rest of the country is learning from the Lindeners. Rioters are rewarded. Looters are rewarded. Thieves are rewarded. So....go and get your reward.

I therefore urge a restoration to normalcy in the town for an end to unlawful actions.”
“Linden has never been neglected by the PPP/C Administrations. You are all, I am sure, well aware of the steps that we have taken over the years to support the community of Linden. We will continue to promote development in Linden.
“You have my solemn pledge that my government will never abandon you but will work with you to secure your well-being.”
