We must remember that Granger is a murder and that he is not sure of what he is saying,this is what the PNC and AFC member and leaders have in common the open there mouths and display there stupidity without even doing proper investigation of what is going on around this country.
ReplyDeleteGranger and his PNC cabals are stuck in the past, the period way before the PPP Government took over Guyana, steering it to what it has become today. The PNC wants to take Guyana into back in history where education wasn’t free and there was no freedom of expression. Nonsense!
