Two years ago, I had asked you my dear fellow citizens to join me in a demand to reverse the rebranding of Guyana in partisan party colours, green and yellow.

Several points to note two years on:

1. The Gov’t mouthpieces and propagandists who had said nothing of the sort was happening and that I was making objections over a non issue have been proven to have lied to you. Learning: never trust them again. 

2. Many of you and others have since joined the call to halt and reverse the rebranding of Guyana. The Gov’t has ignored those said demands and the voice and views of the citizens it is duty bound to serve. The President’s Office, State House and much more have been rebranded. Learning: they have no interest in listening to and heeding the calls of citizens of this country.

3. As I predicted the said rebranding was just the beginning of party paramountcy that would manifest itself in other authoritarian, undemocratic acts. We have since seen the unilateral appointment of a GECOM chair, thereby dumping decades of democratic practices, the unlawful removal of constitutional office holders such as the Chair of the Public Service Commission, the tacit support for the unlawful parking meter contract etc. Learning: nip excesses and undemocratic behavior at the very beginning or it is bound to spread into every facet of life touching and affecting adversely every single person
