Norton and Sharma working together would be a powerful force

I can objectively critique my party while fighting with everything. I have got to see it return to office and return to office it must. Recently, I noticed that the Leader, Aubrey Norton is upping his game and it is a good sign. He is listening and he is acting and I have no doubt that he will surprise our supporters in a positive way. I want to see the best for Norton and our party as a whole.

We have to strive like never before to foster the much needed unity and togetherness; differences, no matter how deep they run, must be cast aside because the adversary we are confronted with finds its strength and longevity in the fierceness of its unity. I cannot underscore the importance of this call for us to be united as one in the party.

My approach to politics has never been personality centred, it has always been a practical one. I bear no malice and in public life and I will never venture to shut anyone out permanently; especially those who are deserving of a place at the table of this struggle and its ensuing victory. I believe in a righteous God and therefore I believe Karma is real. Sharma Raheem Solomon and I have had our fair share of falling out but he possesses a rare form of maturity I seldom find in Guyanese leaders. I believe deep down in the innermost parts of my being that Sharma was born to be a great politician. He must be given the opportunity and space to accomplish what God has destined for him.

The truth is, if I am to be brutally honest, the PNC owes Sharma a debt it must repay or Karma will be unkind to us. This is the first in a series of advocacy to see Sharma Solomon be returned to active politics in the PNC while holding a strategic position in the Executive that will allow what he does best to manifest and will in turn be beneficial to us triumphing at the polls. Life has cruel ironies; the two men, Norton and Sharma if working together, would be a powerful force that would have the PPP in confusion but what exists is a rift; quite deep and almost irreparable.

Sometimes life puts us in situations and circumstances to test us to determine whether we are worthy of succeeding. Sometimes we have to, regardless of how painful it is, rip the negativity from our souls and selflessly hold hands for the greater good. I do not think any of our supporters will dispute how much Sharma Solomon is needed now not tomorrow, to strengthen our resolve. We must give him his just dues. We owe him that.

Sincerely, Norman Browne Social and Political Activist
