How much do the people of Guyana pay these napping law makers (breakers)?

Dec 29, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
It was quite interesting to read The Pandora’s Box in the Guyana Chronicle of December 28, 2009.
This sorrowful half page of crying only demonstrates that those over at GNNL do not have a clue about satire, or are truly hurting because of the truth.
Congratulations to the Kaieteur News for putting a smile on my face on Christmas morning.
But let us for one moment be realistic and look carefully at those pictures. The ones that stood out the most were those of our lawmakers fast asleep in the sacred chambers of Parliament.
How can these shameful adults of some degree of qualifications be allowed to disgrace the highest office of our land? Do they take Parliament for their bedrooms? Some of these parliamentarians have a day job and turn up to Parliament like a watchman (or watchwoman) for a second job so that they can get more money, perks, play computer games and most of all, sleep.
How much do the people of Guyana pay these napping law makers (breakers)?
If you are in the public or private sector, there are serious repercussions if one is caught sleeping while on duty. Sleepers are given serious warnings, suspensions or they are fired.
How can a presidential hopeful who is the House Speaker of the land, and who supervises these sleepers allow this outrageous act and lawless ethics in the workplace? If the Speaker cannot control his sleeping beauties, how can he control the management of a country?
The people of Guyana must call on those who sleep in the highest office of the land, to face the full penalty of sleeping on the job. This lawless must stop, or else we will have much more than Pandora’s Box. I will address the matter of walking off the job by some of our lawmakers at another time.
The Watchman
