We have come a long way

Oct 04, 2008 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
We are once again approaching the celebration of the return of democracy and free and fair elections on the 5 October, 1992.

When this happened under the leadership of the late Dr. Cheddi Jagan and the People’s Progressive Party, with the support and collaboration of others, the PPP/Civic government had to put right a great many things.
However, everything could not have been done in sixteen short years.

We have come a long way, but we still have a long way to go – we have to be in for the long haul. Having democracy restored meant among other things that we were restored to respectability having re-joined the community of democratic nations.

However, much to the dismay of the naysayers, we keep rising to the occasion, not only dealing with old problems but the serious new challenges that have arisen since, for the benefit of the people and country.

We have recorded many successes, and have vastly improved and extended our socio-economic and physical infrastructure.

At our regional and general elections, the integrity of the ballots we cast have been restored, a fundamental human right, which was denied us for decades under the PNC dictatorship.
Yours faithfully,
John Da Silva
