The awareness drive against corruption must be pursued vigorously

Jan 05, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
The Guyanese people must treat every day of this year as if there is General Elections in a few weeks. The awareness drive against corruption must be pursued vigoriously. Every Guyanese in every walk of life must be aware, informed and active as a struggle that will change our country for better takes shape.
Sara Bharrat calls for the silence to be broken and our fears to be quashed. She represents a young Guyana that can only secure a brighter future for all its people-and I mean all its people.
The Sara Bharrats and Ruel Johnsons bring to the horizons of a bewitched and abused nation, a sort of urgency to confront and change the status quo, like never felt before. The trust and support can only be resounding. They are not political opportunist. They are not men and women who will buckle under any pressure brought on by politicians. Their voices will not be stifled or their pens compromised.
The fear that will sweep Guyana will not be that of its people. The people’s voices will be crying to be free. Shouting in unison for the change so needed. The change that will and must come.
The young men and women from the University of Guyana and schools across the land will sit and have conversations with vendors, canecutters, mechanics, street sweepers, rice farmers and bauxite workers. We will behold their changed expressions. You will sense the quiet determination and dignity in their movements and posture. This nation will sense a maturity and attitude in our young people that it has not sensed before.
I believe, deep within my soul that every Indian, Black, Amerindian and other ethnic groups of young people have seen through the façade of the manifestation of politics in today’s Guyana. They have had enough. The future is theirs and can no longer be seen as an empty rhetoric to be mocked.
Sara, courageously asked us to break the silence. Will we? Will we make a giant leap into our immediate future. Can we believe in the change that must come. Can we collectively walk that walk. We must.
