Try civil disobedience

Dec 14, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
Emile Mervin’s letter in Kaieteur News, December 11, 2012 titled, “Those denied radio licence should file a class action lawsuit for being discriminated against.”
His proposition is commendable and will be effective in a normal, functional democratic society.
As is the case with so many worrisome issues we face, Guyana is not the normal ‘Democratic Society’. To begin, our Courts are overburdened and slothful. With the tedium of likely appeals by the State, we can be talking about many months, if not years.
It is my considered opinion that only two parallel options are available in order to save Guyana. These are prayers and a revolutionary approach to deal with our many social and political challenges, arrogance and corruption.
Have we noticed that even subordinates who operate out of high places display a level of disdain for ordinary folks? So, we should ask our religious bodies to pray fervently for Divine help.
Next, advise those who have applied for radio licence to set up their equipment to start transmission for the benefit of our people, to allow us to hear both sides of the story.
It is my considered view that only this course of action will bring this stubborn and disrespectful administration to its senses, to remind it that when asked thirteen months ago, the majority said “We have no faith in you” the People’s Progressive Party.
Guyana now needs take the struggle to the next level by getting in a revolutionary mode-starting with civil disobedience. Truly we are left with no other choice.
