Is he the right man for the job?

Omar Davies - file

THE EDITOR, Madam:

The more you listen to Omar Davies the more you think he may be the right man for the People's National Party's (PNP) president when that gate flies.

The thing that strikes me most is that he travels light with only two things: his integrity and his education, and declares that he is absolutely against all forms of corruption. That is a good start; then it comes to of his tax and borrow economics that has resulted in unprecedented levels of national indebtedness and the destruction of many indigenous businesses.

Right answer

He seems to have all the right answers to explain away all the negatives. He talks about wealth creation, education, and increased production as the only way to earn our way out of the socio-economic gutter in which we have been placed.

This is a man who has had some sort of stamp of approval for his character being described at one time by the Honourable Edward Philip George Seaga as a man who has a "fixity of purpose albeit in the wrong direction". If he heads in the right direction he may just be the man to take this country forward. The polls show him way behind, but the more you listen to him, the more you tend to think he is the right man.

Davies will definitely make inroads with the all important delegates if they give him one ear then he may get two then on to being prime minister if the capitalist class and the working man find him acceptable. He should be watched and not written off, in the words of Peter Tosh "I am like a stepping razor don't you watch my size I am dangerous".

I am, etc.,
