Murder, suicide and wanton death pervades the society!

Nov 16, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
Under the Donald Ramotar presidency, with his Home Affairs Commissar, Clement Rohee, manacled to his post, there is no premium to life in Guyana. I am sick to my soul about checking the daily Guyanese press, online, first thing, every morning with the screaming accounts of death in every form and manner imaginable, in my country.
This is not a manifestation per chance. It mirrors the society that we are all consumed building, pro-PPP, anti-PPP, young, old, rich, poor, involved, uninvolved. We are all consumed.
Guyanese simply can’t continue to turn a blind eye, like the government, to this social ill disgracing our collective psyche.
I am not even contemplating the other areas of national life and disgrace—drugs, crimes, money laundering and other vices that permeate our society. There is already a litany of accounts in the police departments, the national press, mass organisations, churches and wherever else such matters are noted and booked.
Donald Ramotar and his Cabinet, as the custodians of the law, must be held accountable and responsible.
Ramotar must initiate emergency measures with his Guyana Police Force and other military and paramilitary outfits to initiate measures to address this scourge on Guyana. It needs, in conjunction with the entire opposition.  A national crisis calls for a patriotic response!
Lionel Peters.
