(Kaieteur News) – Guyanese everywhere: stop and stay still. Watch and listen. Study and absorb. Then appreciate what is happening, how this country is hung on a tall tree before all the world. It’s the Mohamed Irfaan Ali and Azruddin Mohamed Show. A battle for any edge in a fight for moral supremacy, A sickness, it is. A national disgrace, unlike any other. Try to grasp fully what has unfolded publicly.

This is the head of state and head of the opposition in Guyana going head-to-head in efforts to tear off each other’s head. What was never seen nor heard before makes its way into the public domain. Accusations and counteraccusations in sprawling, damaging, degrading efforts to bring down each other. Destroy each other. From the opposition head’s side: claims of massive corruption, disclosures that farm and placed on global display. All that was hidden from sight: fish and fowl, cattle and other creatures lower to the ground. Land and lots of it. And these represent only a little glimpse, according to Azruddin Mohamed. In response, Guyana’s head-of-state had his own list of accusations and counteraccusations: kidnapping and robbery. Torture and murder. My Lord, my God! Indeed, all that is concealed comes to light. Were those crimes, as alleged [and levelled], by two Guyanese leaders of the utmost national significance against each other the end? Or merely the beginning of the beginning of the scripts now brandished? Now seeping into, then saturating all over, the national consciousness.
