Open letter to soca star Destra:
I am a Guyanese fan of yours and under normal circumstances I would be more than thrilled to have you in Guyana. However, our election is just two days away from your scheduled concert this Saturday. And so the incumbent administration will use this concert to help distract from the issues of crime, corruption, racism (against Guyanese of African descent), drugs, cronyism and nepotism.
The poster promoting the concert says "Vote PPP/C" and has your image and name on it. I am therefore pleading with you not to let yourself be used in this manner. Please, Destra, do reconsider your commitment to these people.
