Indeed we are living in a dictatorship. People are afraid to come out and protest.”Also involved in the picketing exercise was Acting General Secretary of the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC),NCAA Baseball Jerseys, Norris Witter, and a representative from the youth movement of the GTUC.Lewis accused the government of taking away the grants from the Critchlow Labour College and also from the GTUC. He added that some of the programmes implemented by the government are also political and racial in content.“This government that is using taxpayers dollars ought to be addressing the fact that we want a full disclosure of what is taking place,Austin Hooper Falcons Jersey UK, and also on the Roger Khan issue,” Lewis said.The group also protested against the recent elections of the Rice Producers Association (RPA) which was held despite an injunction filed in the High Court.“These people believe that they own this country and the people are their subjects.”Yesterday was just the first day of the protest, and according to Lewis, their strategy will unfold as time progresses.“We don’t want a crowd. We are leaders in our own right. We don’t want to be hiding behind anybody. We are crossing the line. We are leading by example. We did not set out to bring 30 or 40 people out here. As leaders, we owe this society to lead by example,Nike Boston Celtics Authentic Jerseys,” Lewis said. (Fareeza Haniff)
