If this crime wave does not stop all will be lost

Sep 13, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor
Please allow me space in your newspaper to comment on the crime situation in Guyana.
The recent escalation in crimes in Guyana which has resulted in the deaths of many young and old men mostly of East Indian ancestry has put fear in the hearts of many overseas Guyanese who were planning to come home to stay and for holidays.
The progress of a country is not only measured by gains made by public and private sectors, its infrastructure or its economic growth but also by the well-being of its people. If people have to constantly live in fear of being attacked by bandits then their well being is affected.
The worrisome thing is that these crimes are rarely solved and nothing is being done by all those who are in authority to seriously address this issue. These crimes are treated in such a matter-of-fact way that leaves one to believe that people no longer value life.
Guyana is making wonderful strides in the tourism sector and if this crime wave does not stop all will be lost.
