Dear Editor,
I have read with interest the various opinions on the proposed visit of entertainer Chris Brown. I am among those who feel that he has paid, in part, for his terrible lapse. This, however, does not necessarily qualify him for an invitation to Guyana. I hope that he has really reformed but am however of the opinion that once a “beat man” always a “beat man”. I hope he proves me wrong.
My problem with this venture is twofold. First of all, wouldn’t it be better to spend the millions Mr. Ali is proposing to spend, or clearing up our garbage city and make it once more a garden city – clearly more welcoming to tourists?
Georgetown has many historic buildings and places, though we are seeing some of them replaced by unsightly concrete boxes. Mr. Minister, it seems as if your priorities are upside down or are you waiting for an IMC in Georgetown, then you will clean up?
I also have a problem with the idea of the never ending stream of foreign entertainers. Isn’t this reminiscent of the Roman “bread and games” practice – distracting the masses from their poverty and need? Yours Truly, Sandra Garnett
