Head of State Bharrat Jagdeo reportedly rejected the call by the authentic African organisations in Guyana for a postponement until a mutually agreed upon “National Programme for the UN’s Year for People of African Descent” was accomplished.As such the call for a united programme was hypocritical and clearly political gimmickry, contended Ernest Elliot of the People’s National Congress Reform.Elliot said that determined to manipulate the Year’s programme for political gain,Adidas Nmd Pink Shoes, all the PPP wanted was a Public Relations event to propagandise to the world that Guyanese of African Descent were involved so that they can proceed, as they propose to do, to use the moneys allocated in the 2011 Budget for electioneering purposes disguised as expenditure for the Year of People of African Descent.Elliot cautioned that Jagdeo ought to be advised that there is no confusion in the African community about this year’s events or its significance.“While there was no adequate Press coverage of the event, the Civil Society Committee for the UN Year For People of African Descent already held a launch ceremony with an appropriate programme on December 31, last, at the Girl Guides Pavilion at which several Guyanese, including the Prime Minister were invited.”He said that ever since October 2010 that Organisation had recognised that the direction of the government was inimical to its interests and had organised an alternative.He said that as a Kaieteur News’ editorial correctly analysed,Blank Arsenal Jersey UK, “Something had to be horribly wrong for the government to single-handedly plan a year of activities for Afro centric people in Guyana. Even if the United Nations expected governments to take the lead,Air Max Zero Be True, there would have been the need for national consultations.”He said that his party has already stated that any national programme must include tangible actions to address the many concerns of the African dominated communities,Wholesale MLB Jerseys, which have been the subject of discussion for many years.“If Jagdeo wants Guyanese to take him seriously, he must also during this Year,World Baseball Classic Jerseys Outlet, agree to an International Inquiry into the Death Squad,Al MacInnis Jersey, which was responsible for the deaths of over 400 Guyanese, including Ronald Waddell, most of whom were young Guyanese of African descent.”He said that his party will not attend any State-sponsored programme for the UN Year for People of African Descent unless the expressed concerns of legitimate African Organisations are addressed.
