The citizens are tired and fed up of being tired and fed up

Feb 24, 2011 Letters

Dear Editor,
The minister in charge of our roadways should be made to resign; just look at the West Coast and East Bank Demerara roads and all the roads in Georgetown – and don’t tell us about the city’s responsibility because the central government rules Georgetown .
On Charlotte Street in the centre of Georgetown, we are faced with a situation where absolutely nothing has been done to fix this street in the last 15 years – I have called everyone, from the Minister to the Mayor, but to no avail. Imagine no local elections in 15 years and only the central government is to blame.
Simply atrocious, that citizens pay so much tax on vehicles, tires, shocks etc. and the conditions on our roads are basically trashy. Don’t even mention the roads entering villages across the whole country. Those responsible should be made to pay with their jobs.
The “big shot” politicians drive around in their new fancy vehicles, which the citizens pay for, and they don’t care if the roads are bad because tires, shocks etc. on government vehicles are paid for by us also – but we care because we treasure our vehicles and we can’t afford to be digging into our pockets for their negligence. We, the citizens are tired and fed up of being tired and fed up.
