Timehritoday.blogspot.com over the ten years, has had some readership. Not too many.
I am hoping at least one reader connects me to Ms. Amanza Walton-Desir.
I wish to have a conversation.

It is a difficult process to contact politicians in Guyana. It should be an easy thing.

Today’s society is defined by lists. A Life
List—mapping our dreams; a Bucket List—counting the moments before time slips
away; and the Candidates List—granting entry into the hallowed halls of
Parliament in Guyana.
But what of the names on that final list?
Do they represent fresh, unburdened minds—young, untainted by the weight of
history? Or do they carry the same old scars, the same inherited divisions?
Once, Parliament stood as a temple of integrity, where voices of wisdom shaped
the nation’s future. Now, integrity has fled, leaving behind echoes of broken
promises and empty decorum.
If we are to rewrite the future, should we
not begin with the list?
Recorded in our history, a Monday, October
11, 1834, at the stroke of noon, Damon was hanged before the public buildings—a
grim spectacle meant to showcase the might of British justice. The scaffold,
erected on its grounds, served as a chilling reminder to the free men and women
of Georgetown of the consequences of defiance.
This was the newly established Seat of
Power for British Guiana, inaugurated just months earlier on April 3, 1834—a
symbol of imperial control where the fates of enslaved Africans and indentured
Indians would be shaped to serve the colony’s interests.
Today, we stand shaken by the rhetoric
echoing through this chamber—a place where the spirit of Damon still lingers,
listening intently. He laid down his life for justice, for the promise of
fairness. Quamina also sacrificed everything in the hope of a free and
dignified nation. Yet, partisanship now drowns out the call for unity in this
hall where their dreams should flourish.
Once a guardian of parliamentary law, the
Speaker now bends its sacred principles to serve division. Such conduct does
not go unnoticed—it stirs unrest, ignites frustration, and disrespects the very
people this house was built to serve. Africans and Indians alike—brothers and
sisters in the struggle—watch in dismay as the ideals of equity and respect
slip through our grasp.
But change is on the horizon. The
parliamentarians of the Timehri Action Party, will not stand idle. We are the
voice of a new generation—young, brilliant, and unwavering. From all 65
electoral districts, we will rise, not for power, but for the promise of a
Guyana that belongs to all.
Let me address the electorate.
TIMEHRI ACTION PARTY: A New Dawn for Guyana
The Timehri Action Party (TAP) emerges as a bold and unifying political movement, created to rally Guyanese at home and across the diaspora toward a shared vision of national renewal. As Guyana prepares for the September 1, 2025 National Elections, TAP offers a platform that transcends old divisions and speaks directly to the hopes and struggles of the people.
TAP was born out of a deep desire to provide real political solutions to the challenges facing Guyana today. Our movement opens the door for every Guyanese—no matter their background, social status, or location—to play an active role in shaping our nation’s future.
Empowering the Diaspora and Home-Based Guyanese: TAP offers every Guyanese—whether in Georgetown or New York, Berbice or London—the chance to contribute meaningfully to the political landscape. We believe that distance should never diminish one’s right to be part of national change.
Rising Without Political Strings: TAP believes that opportunity should never be tied to political allegiance. We aim to break the cycle of dependency and favoritism, allowing all citizens to rise based on merit, not connections.
Duties-Free Importation of Vehicles: A TAP government will introduce a five-year duty-free window for the importation of vehicles, helping families, businesses, and everyday Guyanese enjoy a better quality of life with greater mobility.
Grassroots Economic Empowerment: TAP is committed to creating a thriving, inclusive economy—one where the small farmer, street vendor, and young entrepreneur can prosper without obstacles, bureaucracy, or corruption.
Our political journey is grounded in thought, scholarship, and history. Two books serve as the intellectual backbone of the Timehri Action Party:
📖 On the Sacred Rivers
This work confronts the difficult legacies of African slavery and Indian indentureship in British Guiana, challenging historical narratives and offering a powerful response to critics who deny the rightful place of Indians in Guyanese history. It is a book that bridges our past to our present, calling for unity rooted in truth.
📖 The Reformer President
This visionary book presents the blueprint for the kind of leadership Guyana needs—a leader of integrity, fairness, and vision. It is more than a story; it is a campaign manifesto, a call to action for all disillusioned Guyanese seeking hope, honesty, and good governance.
Proceeds from book sales directly fund TAP’s grassroots and regional campaign efforts, ensuring that this movement remains by the people and for the people.
Join the Movement. Reclaim the Nation.
On September 1, 2025, vote for progress. Vote for integrity. Vote Timehri Action Party.
