A lack of accountability and more excuses

Jun 21, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
I hate what this government is doing to Guyana. They are just like the previous party that was in government. I know hate is a strong word, but there is no other word to describe how I feel.
I hate the fact that our road infrastructure is in such a deplorable state. The electricity situation is dangerous. On the East Bank, the voltage fluctuates wildly at times – I can see it with my lights going bright and then dim at times. I know GPL knows what I am saying is true. Yes, I know it’s not the connection to my house. I don’t care to hear their excuses.
The water situation is dismal. All the Minister of Housing does is talk about how glorious things are. It’s not so.
The roads in the villages are in such a deplorable condition. In Diamond, Eccles, etc. What I hate is that it’s not so because of lack of resources. The roads in Eccles were repaired in February this year, and by the end of May, the roads have craters. It’s because of the corruption that pervades the society that results in poor infrastructure works.
Bharrat Jagdeo used to say show him the corruption and he will deal with it. When he was showed, he did nothing. An example of this is the $69 million bungalow for the NIS in Corriverton, Berbice.
Now all the corruption is coming to light – all the corruption that has been happening for years.
All the white collar crimes are being exposed. It is this deep-seated corruption, this lawlessness, this lack of accountability that is responsible for the dismal state of most of the infrastructure.
All this letter will achieve is talk, talk and more talk from government ministers and party apparatchik. It’s all just excuses. I hate it!!!
