Govt. must act in a timely manner on issues confronting them
Dear Editor,
Is this government really serious about Guyana and its future development? The evidence is mounting against them and in my eyes they have lost all credibility.
It is said that when one speaks a lie often enough, they start to believe it.
Our government says Guyana is making progress and we have growth, yet every day, the lines at the passport office and U.S. and Canadian embassies get longer. People are desperate to leave and checks on the records will reveal that Guyana’s citizens are leaving by the droves. And not many are returning.
More than 15 years in office and this administration still cannot solve the electricity crisis. The rice and sugar industries are in trouble with no end in sight. Just ask the cane-cutters what is happening, and they will tell you. Rice farmers are considering to stop planting and starting fishing (according to your reports).
Overshadowing these critical issues are the accusations of corruption and widespread mismanagement.
Mr. Editor, on a personal note, I think the people of Guyana could tolerate a little mismanagement, but when the government of the day refuses to or fail to act in a timely manner on issues confronting them, especially when they are the ones being accused of wrongdoings, then how can we believe them”
To add salt to the wounds, we have our main opposition party in a state of hibernation. I think Freddie Kissoon will have a field day if he should attempt to analyse how come the opposition in the face of all the problems facing this administration could only bark like a ‘toothless poddle’.
How come no commission or investigation yet on the Simel’s trial revelations, that this government was involved or lend its blessings to the illegal activities of a drug lord?
What about Lindo Creek?
You see, Mr. Editor, the entire point of this letter is that this government acts when it is convenient to them.
Remember C.N. Sharma’s suspension? The aggrieved party, the President, suspended CNS 6 when he should have stayed far. The Mormons – this is still a rather puzzling case since it was so speedily dealt with.
What about Sanata Textile and the ‘sweetheart’ deals.
These few comments should not be viewed by this government as an attack; rather it should be used to improve the situation.
Our country is a beautiful one and this administration has a wonderful opportunity to leave a lasting legacy that would firmly place Guyana in the global economy map of reckoning.
