Let us set aside our differences and put Guyana first

Feb 05, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
My contribution is a letter of commendation to Mr. Joseph G. Singh, Major General (rtd).
I refer to a letter carried in Saturday Stabroek News, dated February 2, 2013, under the caption, “We Should Rededicate Ourselves to Building a Nation and Society of Which We Can All Be Proud”. Personally, I found the contents of that letter intriguing and it further reminds me of what APNU and its leadership and civil society have been calling for in this nation.
History, would have recorded that during the British Colonial rule, then British Guiana, this nation was once referred to both domestically and internationally as “the garden society” and the “bread basket of the Caribbean”. In those days, citizens had to comply with laws. Today, our nation, which had high merit on the world map, has become a nation where its citizens have no respect or regard for each other.
Our former leaders and Executive Presidents, the late LFS Burnham, Cheddi Jagan and Hugh Desmond Hoyte, inherited a healthy and prosperous nation after gaining Independence from the British. However, the current state of our country and citizens speaks for itself.
In addition to Mr. Joseph G. Singh’s comment, my opinion is that Guyanese should rededicate themselves to nation building…, and my firm conviction is that the mindset of our political leaders should change.
By virtue of this, Guyanese will become involved in moving this country forward in a positive direction, exhibiting the country’s motto “one people, one nation, one destiny”, an identity we all would be proud of.
Therefore, as a proud Guyanese of this God-blessed nation, I would like to pronounce and make a public appeal by encouraging my fellow Guyanese, including all Political Leaders, let us set aside our differences and put Guyana first.
Annette Ferguson
