Berbicians want a new government
Dear Editor,
When will the blackouts end in Berbice? GPL has offered us so many promises, and so many dates. All have passed, and we still suffer from a constant interruption of the power supply at all hours, for varying periods of time.
Apparently, no one in GPL’s management has a clue about how to solve this problem. Also, no one in this government appears to have any idea how to remedy this situation. Or maybe they just do not care. There is no reliable power, and naturally, this hinders development at every single level.
This government does not understand that even one blackout per week is unacceptable. We are the laughing stock of the Caribbean, and all the PPP can talk about is how bad things were under the PNC, and cuss’ down the AFC at almost every public forum. But let’s get this straight – after more than twenty years of mismanagement and corruption under the PPP, Berbicians are no better off than when the PNC was in power!
We desperately need a new government that understands the importance of a reliable power supply, and one that will do everything in its power to promote the development of this country. The PPP has clearly shown that it is not up to the task, and that it would prefer to fight for the rich one per cent instead of the 99 per cent of hardworking Guyanese who work hard, and struggle to earn a decent living. While the PPP and its top leaders enjoy a decadent and luxurious lifestyle in Pradoville I and II, ordinary Berbicians who cannot afford back-up generators are forced to suffer through long periods of blackouts without relief.
The only solution to this problem is to elect a new government. I am pleading with the APNU and AFC to prevent the 2013 budget from passing, and force a new election, because Berbicians will turn out in their numbers to vote for them. We have been utterly betrayed by the PPP and will not accept the mediocrity that they want to pass off as “development.”
Only “a perfect jackass,” in the words of the current president, would continue to support this incompetent government.
