GDF should carry out these tasks

Jun 15, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,

I have noted with interest, a publication under the caption “Invitation to tender” — Guyana Defence Force (GDF) in the Kaieteur News of June 2, 2009, to construct Fences, Bridge etc.

What a shame and waste of funds, Why were they allowed to reach this deplorable state in the first place It is a known fact that soldiers of other countries, USA, England, Brazil etc, engage in civil works within their Barracks and in their countries.

They even assist other countries as goodwill gestures. Guyana has benefited from many such visits; St Mary’s Primary School is one such project by the US army.

Agreed that these countries would have been independent for many years, 43 years can be considered a lengthy period. It is not time for the Guyanese soldiers venture out on their own and effectively carry out this developmental works.

I remember a saying “you must not enter the pool unless you know to swim”. Is this a case of the GDF ranks? They would not do any civil works unless they are qualified.

I am eagerly looking forward for the announcement that the GDF have- successfully done the works tendered for.
