An open letter to the President of Guyana

Jun 09, 2010 Letters

Dear President Jagdeo,
I am aware that your job is not easy, and that you cannot please everyone, but what is your government doing for the people of Guyana under your leadership?
I am a citizen. I am disgusted with the ongoing bribery in every office I go into.
As a citizen I demand the right to know what you are doing about that and the many other issues like corrupt law enforcement, dirty streets, constant blackouts, clogged drains, violence against women and children, a dysfunctional judicial system, low paying jobs, no education on HIV/AIDS and many other issues plaguing our society especially the filth in every corner of the country.
I returned to live in my once beautiful Guyana. Every office I go into I have to bribe the first person to get to the next, and yet I can’t find one honest person to do business with.
Mr. President, many Guyanese would like to come back home as they get older, but the troubling thing is, people are afraid for their lives.
If you start a business, you become a target for thieves, or risk being kidnapped. There is no protection from those happenings.
There should be no reason for the street to be so filthy. Why can’t jobs for young people be created by paying more people to keep the streets and drains clean by cutting down high grown weeds.
What is wrong with putting young people to do drawing on barrels for trash cans, then chain them to posts and pick up trash at least once every day and around the markets pick up twice a day.
Create a land fill for trash to be dumped.
Guyana has a lot of land. Start recycling plastic. That would help with the many plastic clogging drains.
It would also create jobs. My biggest question to you Mr. President, is why there aren’t more females in government offices.
Another thing, when did Guyana got so low that they start throwing feces on columnists who speak out about real troubling issues in Guyana.
Mr. Jagdeo, I am embarrassed when visitors come to Guyana and see the filth we live in. At nights lights go off. Please Mr. President, focus on issues and resources at home and stop running around the world looking for people to give you money for deforestation and this low carbon thing you are busying yourself with.
When those people visit Guyana and see the filth around you, they will not give you a penny.
My best wishes to you if you plan on running for another term. People in Guyana have seen the light. They want change for a better Guyana.
Returned citizen to Guyana
