The presidency has a moral responsibility to provide guidance to young people Stabroek News
President Jagdeo in his efforts to get credit for winning the election and maintaining his influence over Mr Ramotar and the PPP leadership continues to mislead the public in his various pronouncements. He makes up stories, distorts facts and takes credit for things done by others. He is, in other words, engaging in ‘eye-pass.’
His ministers are little better. On Friday the papers reported that Guyana had done very well on Millennium Goals as far as education is concerned. This is true but given where Guyana came from the relevant target should not be restricted to access to primary education. In fact, whilst access is high, more importantly, the proportion of those completing school has declined. Less than 50% of schoolchildren have managed to pass English and Mathematics. Literacy among males ‘educated’ under the PPP stands at an alarming 72%, a fall from an estimated 80% in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The ‘eye-pass’ is not limited to economic issues. Whenever President Jagdeo uses state funds, coercion and fear to muster Africans at election time he urges them to join the fight against racism and prejudice. The large numbers of Africans addressed last Friday were not a reflection of enthusiasm for the PPP but of the effectiveness of the coercion of Africans in economic difficulties.
