Guyana needs a new breed of political leaders

Dec 01, 2011 Letters

 

 

Dear Editor,
Guyana needs a new breed of Political Leaders, who are neither PPP nor PNC. Within the last forty-five years all that the Guyanese populace has had is totalitarian rule, dictatorship, crooks, thieves, corruption and the list goes on. This has happened when PNC was in power and now the same is happening with the PPP.
It is time we have a system to reflect the diverse population and end favoritism and racism in Guyana. First, we elect a Representative from the district to represent us in parliament. Secondly, we elect the President on a national level. Ministers of Government will no longer be parliamentarians. This way we can separate the powers of Government.
The way the system currently works if you are member of PPP, the same people are Ministers and Parliamentarians. When they are corrupt, who can you complain to? We need to change the constitution to have a similar system of Government like Trinidad and Tobago.
Freedom of the press should never be muzzled by any Government, unless the government owns the country. The press should always stay clear from aligning itself with political parties. The truth and nothing but the truth should be reported.
Guyana Chronicle, Guyana Broadcasting Corporation and any media entity should be private.
Cecil Persaud,
