Dear Editor,
Where is justice in Guyana? How it is possible for the powerful and well connected to trample on the ordinary man with such impunity? Is the judicial system in Guyana working? How someone could obtain an injunction yet people disregard that injunction with no penalty?
I am aware that my father has been working this land for a very long time, long before the establishment of the company by Mr. Lumumba and Dr. Waldron. I am confident that the records at the GGMC will reveal this. So the big question is why the GGMC is bending to the wishes of Mr. Lumumba and Dr. Waldron.
The saddest thing about this matter is who these men purport to be. Mr. Lumumba claims he is the empowerment advisor to the President: The man who ensures fair play for the disadvantaged. He is the man who you should turn to when the big and powerful is taking advantage of you. However, here we have Mr. Lumumba perpetuating the very capricious malfeasance he is supposed to be protecting the ordinary man.
Dr. Waldron is another matter all together. He sits on his TV show preaching to all and sundry about what should be right and proper with society.
One would believe that such a man would be above joining with Lumumba to deny a poor man of his right to earn a living.
I call upon the President and the Chief Justice to ensure that justice is done.
