That hydro power vote

Jul 24, 2013 Letters

 

 

Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter to tell the AFC and APNU parliamentarians to say stay strong. Some are saying that voting against the Amaila Falls hydro-power project is anti-nationalist. That is a wrong view.
First, such a large project needs maximum diligence. Secondly Guyana is supposed to be a democracy. The AFC and APNU together represent more Guyanese in the parliament than the PPP. That fact alone requires that they have a voice in how the country moves forward.
Democracy is about trade-offs and all parties need to feel involved. Linking the vote on the hydro project to other issues critical to the Guyanese people and their representatives in Parliament is normal democratic practice.
Fitzgerald Yaw,
Ottawa, Canada
