This state of affairs at UG is detrimental to us and will not be tolerated in any form

Dear Editor,
It is established that “As the University of Guyana goes so does the rest of Guyana”
It is time to start the process of change to turn Guyana around for the betterment of all of us.
To begin this process, it is absolute necessary to make the much needed and long overdue investments for current and future Guyanese students and society. There is an absolute need for all Guyanese to send a clear message to the political class who rule Guyana that this state of affairs at University of Guyana is detrimental to us and will not be tolerated in any form.
University of Guyana Student Society (UGSS) president, Mr. J. Griffith, and UG staff and workers represented by Mr. Bruce Haynes and Dr. M. Ifill of University of Guyana Workers Union (UGWU) and University of Guyana Senior Staff Association, UGSSA) respectively, need all the support from the public and civic society in order to start the metamorphosis.
The political class who ruled Guyana did not and still does not care for the development of young Guyanese as can be seen from the abysmal state at the University of Guyana.
The PPP-controlled UG Council and its APNU representatives seem deemed to demoralize the University and force it further in submission into a state that is already unimaginable.
The state of affairs at University of Guyana, Turkeyen, has gotten worse and worse over the years with no facilities that its dysfunctional state has become a normal way of operation.
The older generation in the form of political class who rule UG and its representatives on the UG Council want Guyanese to continue to think and form a habitual cultural view that it is all about ethnicity and intended to justify its dominant control of UG by stifling and suffocating the younger Guyanese minds and the future of Guyana.
To the students of UG, we have been down this road before and ethnicity has been used by the PPP-controlled UG Council and the dictatorial PPP to deny change to present and the next generation. This scorched-earth policy has effectively shut down this battle for change.
It is time we discard our parents and family’s (PPP and PNC) old but self-destructive politics. It has gotten us nowhere. It is stagnating and it is non-developmental, bordering on total economic and social destruction of Guyana. We are forced to flee this land of our ancestors.
Let us demand a change both for ours and future generations. Demand changes that will result in full capabilities and facilities for UG from the political classes of the PPP and APNU.
It is your inherited right as Guyanese to be properly educated and nothing to do with ethnicity as preached by the PPP for its own selfish ends.
“As The University of Guyana goes so does the rest of Guyana.” The time is now for us to take a stand.
