It is ironic that Green a beneficiary of the ‘divide and rule’ strategy is now cautioning against it - Stabroek News

  • fave

Dear Editor,

I wish to offer a few comments on the letter, ‘In Guyana we must be careful not to be consumed by policies that lead to inequalities,’ by long standing politician Hamilton Green (Stabroek News, March 4, 2021) in which he states “…we have the propaganda gurus in high gear as we observe the anniversary of the 2020 General Elections… Of course, we have the lengthy statements about Elections 2020 and except for a brief sentence, the source of the problem is ignored, which is going into an election with an imperfect list and the country buckling under a dictum to suspend house to house registration”.

The article It is ironic that Green a beneficiary of the ‘divide and rule’ strategy is now cautioning against it appeared first on Stabroek News.
