In time all will be revealed

Feb 26, 2013 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
I had my OMG moment (or as a prominent US politician is apt to say my ‘Oh s..t’ moment) when I read the column “The government and the dark secrets”.
Linking different parts of that piece together, I concluded firmly that the country is heading for the rich field of Information Technology and electronics big time, and the infrastructure is being primed for that purpose behind-the-scenes, perhaps within a decade. I see Guyana a few years from now as an important area for outsourcing IT from the industrialised countries, particularly America, hence so much secrecy at the moment. And Guyana has the advantage of having English as its primary language and enough clever, patient people to carry it off.
It all adds up. Do not be too sure that “the government recognizes that it will never be able to attract contractors from the developed countries…..”
My own assessment is that the Guyana government has an ace up its sleeve, playing its cards close to its chest, for a very good reason – what with the building of a luxury hotel, inviting tenders for the operation of a casino and restaurant, perhaps eventually, turning “everything over to the so far unnamed and unidentified private investors.”
Indeed, “people are not fools”. But in time all will be revealed and Guyana may well be on the road to a well-deserved, long-awaited recovery.
In the meantime, let us hope our youngsters hone their IT skills so as to be ready to take over from the Asian tigers. They should be encouraged to train themselves like an athlete would for the Olympics.
“I have a dream today”, so let us start seeing the glass as half full.
