Floods an indicator of government incompetence

Dec 17, 2008 Letters

Dear Editor,
The floods are here again and excuses are all around as well. What has happened to the hundreds of millions of dollars spent earlier this year in the drainage and irrigation sector? What about the $70 million that is supposed to be spent every year?
Every single year huge sums of money are being spent, but I do wonder where it is spent. When will our eyes open to face the reality? This government is incompetent. They are taking things for granted as usual. We hear the usual blame game.
With regards to the littering of the plastic bottles, why can’t the soft drinks companies purchase back the bottles and have a recycling machine to chip the bottles? In New York this is a thriving business.
Now, Mr. President, please let us have more TV and radio stations in Berbice. You’ve given us the Berbice River Bridge and Berbicians thank you, but you have the white elephant Skeldon Sugar Factory. The time has come for you to shake up the Cabinet and have more ministers like Mr. Ramsammy and Ms Manickchand.
Bring in people who can do the job. Some of your ministers are incompetent. One of them is telling the nation that bread prices are going down when in reality it is not so. Well, Mr. Manniram Prashad, you try travelling in the taxis and short-changing the drivers, and see if that isn’t followed by a series of cursing. Mr. Prashad, let us have cheap bread and taxi fares now.
