Dear Editor,
As a Guyanese, I do not believe the opposition is genuine to themselves and to the people that voted for them. They used the one (1), remember (1), not (2) or (3) seats to make a claim to cut the budget.
If the AFC and the APNU feels 100% genuine by cutting the budget is a benefit of the people, then they can sleep sound and also go in churches and pray for their families and friends as usually, but in their hearts they know, this is not true, they wanted to get back to the Government for whatever reason each one of them have in their minds.
For the AFC and the APNU to show the nation that they need to build Guyana and to work as one, then, they can question every spending the Government has in the budget, that is their rights, the right they have as the Guyanese voted for them and ask them to sit in Parliament and work for the best of this country.
They should have voted and passed the entire budget and allowed the Government to do what they say they will do, let the first year pass, the next budget, then you (the oppositions) can say, well, I give you a year and what have you done, now we will review and cut if needs to on the next budget.
But instead, the lust for power, to feel important, to show that they have the final say – but they know they are not without SIN, how can they cast the first stone, why say, we cut for the benefit of the people of Guyana, for what? What will we gain? What is the purpose? A. Whyte
