Former President Bharat Jagdeo yesterday reiterated his call for the declaration of assets by all members of parliament saying if government acquiesces he will be the first to make public not only his local assets but those held outside Guyana also.

“I am still hopeful that they will agree to my proposal that we go jointly to Parliament to make public the assets of the members of parliament and former president’s etcetera own, especially abroad, with a penalty of five years in prison for lying,” Jagdeo said yesterday.

The obsession with Bharrat Jagdeo
There is really an unholy obsession with Bharat Jagdeo by a section of the media and by the Opposition and some of their cohorts. They live and breathe Jagdeo with their bitterness and venom that are unequivocally unfair to the former President, bad for them and certainly not helpful for Guyana.

There are constant, persistent and pernicious attacks on a man who has served Guyana with distinction and bring much honor to our nation.

First we want to quickly dismiss the absurd notion that Jagdeo has no more role to play in Guyana. While they have not stated this directly, his critics seem to have concluded that since he cannot serve as President anymore in accordance with the constitutional provision of a two-term limit, this somehow disqualifies him from any participation in Guyana’s development and politics.

We cannot be clearer – the Constitution may have limited Jagdeo to two-terms for the Presidency, but nothing in the Constitution or any law in Guyana, or elsewhere prohibits Jagdeo from being involved in Guyana’s politics and development.

The assertion by the Opposition and sections of the media that Jagdeo is imposing himself and seeking continued relevance in Guyana is not merely absurd, it is ugly, wrong and reprehensible.

The Constitution may now prohibit him from being President again, but the Constitution cannot prevent him from continuing his membership of the PPP/C and cannot restrict him from supporting and campaigning for the PPP/C in the upcoming elections or in any future elections in Guyana.

In seeking to restrict and prevent Jagdeo from doing his duty to his party, the Opposition leaders expose themselves – their stripes have not changed and their DNA runs deep in the tradition of dictators who live by the code of bullyism.

The Constitution, the law or political tradition in Guyana and around the world provides no argument against the participation of Jagdeo in support of his party or for him to assume political roles, such as a Minister or a Member of Parliament.

Nothing in our laws or in global political tradition prevents the former President from assuming these roles. We are aware that Jagdeo has on many occasions stated as clearly as is possible that he is not interested in assuming a statutory role. But neither the Constitution nor the law prevents him from doing so.

So why is this obsession about him being on the PPP/C platform? Maybe those in Opposition think he is too popular among the Guyanese people for him to be in this campaign.

Maybe, they are fearful that he is too tough for them to debate. Maybe, it is that they know that he can easily and effectively destroy the arguments they make against this Government. But maybe they also wishfully think they can bully and intimidate him to stay away.

There is deceit and dishonesty in the Opposition’s arguments that there is no relevance for Jagdeo in this election. Desmond Hoyte was President of Guyana for a long time and he continued as Leader of the Opposition for almost 10 years. In the USA, Presidents who serve two terms are disqualified from running for the Presidency again, but nothing stops them from campaigning for their parties or for taking on any Government role they might be asked to serve in.

It stinks to heaven when the Kaieteur News carries a negative story, often a misleading negative story, in which Jagdeo has nothing to do with it, and in which his name is never mentioned, but they place his picture within the story.

Clearly, this is an effort to link Jagdeo to every negative thing in Guyana, including made-up negative things.

We are curious and we would like to see both the Kaieteur News and Stabroek News among the printed press explain to us why they have not questioned the wisdom of Granger and Nagamootoo and the APNU+AFC team being embraced by a New York Congressman who has been charged with corruption.

Recently, it was revealed that the advisor on rice for APNU+AFC is wanted for incarceration in Florida, but these newspapers and TV newscasts choose to ignore this story.

Yet when certain individuals who did business with Guyana were similarly charged in the US, their transgressions became Jagdeo’s crimes. The local newspapers and TV newscasts that seem to have orgasmic satisfaction with blaming Jagdeo for everything carried on for months and continue to carry on as if Jagdeo was the criminal in these cases.

We need to stand firm and let Granger and Nagamootoo and their cohorts know that we would not be distracted by them and we are unmoved by their efforts to denigrate and diminish a great Guyanese son and a national hero.

We say to a man who has been described by CNN and Times Magazine as a “Champion of the Environment”, you are truly our hero.
