Let’s focus on issues of nation building

Dec 31, 2013 Letters

 

Dear Editor,
I have noted the comments and statements made by various individuals and organisations regarding the granting of the infamous PGGS (Permission for Geological and Geophysical Survey) for the New River Triangle, South East of Guyana. However, despite the facts and clarifications, including credible support from the Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association, the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and  Industry and Mr. Ralph Ramkarran, just to name a  few, there is still a so-called financial analyst who has launched a nasty attack on those who supported the Muri PGGS.
In several opinionated articles created by this financial analyst – Christopher Ram – he disregarded the facts about the granting of the PGGS and set out to besmirch those involved in the Muri PGGS. Ram, who is also a lawyer, should be interested in the facts, which he himself has disregarded, and instead launched an attack on personalities and spread misinformation.
The facts on the process of granting the Muri PGGS have been repeated over and over. Notwithstanding, Mr. Ram and his colleagues within APNU and AFC have chosen to disregard the facts and made this like many other irrelevant issues, a political one. I am also made to understand that Ram, along with APNU and AFC, wants to waste the National Assembly’s time to discuss this Muri PGGS.
This is one of the many reasons why this nation cannot progress; we are caught up with settling personal scores and irrelevant issues such as the PGGS, rather than being focused on real issues to transform this beloved and blessed country of ours.
We all have a role to play and we must recommit ourselves to nation building, rather than focusing on petty issues. Let us all recommit ourselves to a better Guyana.
Vivian Li (Mrs.)
