I’m interested in how much you have us at heart

Feb 26, 2015 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
Please allow me to speak to our politicians in a candid manner:
“I’m not interested in your promises I’m interested in your actions!  I’m not interested in how great your campaigns are put together to gain votes, I’m interested in how much you really have us, the citizens of Guyana, at heart.
You promise job opportunities, but all I see is ‘get a job by knowing someone!’  Or be rejected for my past, causing me to be delinquent to survive. You promise better Education, but why are our schools and the University lacking of proper facilities? Why do we have to pay for facilities of dirt like they are made of gold? You promise better health services, but every time I take a visit to our health facilities there are problems like three mothers with just born babies sharing one single bed, poor surroundings, unpleasant smells, drug shortages, insolent medical personnel whom I don’t blame; after all they must be frustrated to have to do so much with so little pay.
Why are our roads so rough when you call all the millions and billions of dollars for road construction?
Why is it so hard for us born Guyanese Citizens to gain a land space but it’s so easy for foreign nationals to come out of nowhere, gain ‘lands” and great businesses at which we Guyanese are employed and paid next to nothing? Why should they take over our forest that we’re being paid to preserve? Why? Why does each party talk against each other, demonizing each other over power?
Why can’t you all get together and make a change? Is it that you need power to make a change in this land, or is it that you need power to gain taxpayers’ money to put in your own pockets? I don’t see you looking down further than your pockets! Don’t you think being one at heart and working together will make Guyana better?
You call Georgetown our Garden City but all I see is a Garbage City! Our Parliament building; the one you fight each other to gain one more seat in, is in poor condition! Its exterior looks like crap! There is always the most atrocious smell from the side of Timehri Park to the side of Linden Park!
Then there are always vagrants taking home on the pavements right around the fence and you feel so comfortable going in and out and just have them there like they are a part of the landscape for the Public Buildings…You encourage tourism and yet our monuments are not upkept. Our buildings of interest can be noticeably seen deteriorating but you are building Pradoville. The police are supposed to be protecting us, but they are the ones brutalizing us and killing our innocent children! They are a part of the crime; why is that Mr. Rohee?
We see politicians’ family members committing crime and walking free, but the lower class of people are handed hefty jail sentences by Magistrates who inexplicably keep the real criminals on the road…. We trust you this elections…. Please do make a Change and remember you are not God!”
