People have lost faith and trust in those who have betrayed the high offices they hold

Mar 27, 2011 Letters

Dear Editor,
Guyana is a country, a little paradise, hidden away in the South American continent, a country that is blessed and damned. Blessed from its rich natural resources, lush rainforest, majestic waterfall, exotic birds, flowers and wildlife; free of natural disasters and a friendly and hospitable people, yet a cloud of damnation hovers overhead.
For despite significant development in the past decade has seen significant development, but the economy is still not sailing in smooth waters, sugar, the livelihood of thousands, is in crisis, migration continues at a fast trot, crime and unsolved murders are still in the top 10 list, but the thorny issue that takes the number one spot and has caused this country to lose the aura of glitter and gold is, corruption.
It’s like an undead monster carrying an infectious disease that seems to be incurable. When it was thought, with a great sense of relief, that the change of Government from the PNC to the PPP would effect a much desired, long awaited change and bring the monster of corruption down, today, there is a sense of despair for it’s now a saying, ‘Bharrat Boys is making Burnham boys look like ‘angels.’
The positives of this administration cannot be denied, the love the people have for the President is true, there’s no denying that either, but they are also disenchanted because the negatives of corrupt practices, abuse of power at some levels, arrogance and promiscuity of some public officials and lies are making this country poorer in its financial and human resources.
The wrongs that are crippling real growth that could make a nation rich and proud, no-one seem to have a solution for.
People, today, just try to make the best of life, for they have lost faith and trust in those who have betrayed the high offices they hold and just continue to love their lives the best way they could and hope for the day when those who holds the reigns of power can avoid being inflicted with the diseases of corruption and lies and a new tomorrow can begin.
