The inaction must stop

Jun 23, 2008 Letters

Dear Editor, 
To Raphael Trotman and the Alliance For Change (AFC), I say, way to go!

It is encouraging to hear the AFC plans to ask the United Nations to launch an enquiry into the death of the more than 200 Guyanese who died under questionable circumstances between 2002 and 2004.

Encouraging also is the need to pursue the purchase by an individual of the sophisticated tracking device with or without the government permission. 

The AFC must know they cannot only talk of their plans they must follow up with actions. We will be watching. The public deserves the truth, and nothing but the truth. The PNC needs to fall in line too and get their act together.

The inaction must stop! Trotman should also know the AFC must also ask the UN to investigate government denying our children their right to education by taking away the Critchlow Labour College’s grant; denying Africans the right to own property by refusing to pass the Bill that will regularise Ancestral land; refusing to respect minority rights; refusing to respect the right to representation by withholding the TUC grant; refusing to respect the right to freedom of expression by banning Mr. Sharma’s television and driving fear into other non-PPP media; and refusing to practice good governance.

The United Nations Human Rights Council is visiting Guyana from July 28 to August 2 to meet with civil society, including those working on minority and anti-discrimination issues. The case of the African falls within representative Ms. Gay Mc Dougal’s portfolio.  It is expected that ACDA, PANAF, TUC, AFC and the PNC would get an audience with this lady and present their case(s).

The evidence abounds. Pull out the memory banks, fact sheets and dossiers and update them.  Guyanese want action (no more talk) and expect nothing less from those groups and individuals that represent our interests and get our votes.
