Can we not take the moral high road?

Mar 13, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
This week we celebrate the death anniversary of the reputed ‘father of our nation’, personal hero to me and I believe most Guyanese, the late Dr Cheddi Jagan who dedicated his life for the betterment of Guyana by, among other things, working to unite the races and pursuing policies that benefit the common man while he lived an exemplary life of honesty, personal integrity, hard work and dedication to the cause of improving the lives all Guyanese. Indeed, his work and life-style, as is well-known and already amply documented, characterized “the moral high road”.
As we approach the national elections scheduled for May 11, 2015, can we not try to emulate this great leader? Can we not avoid ad hominem attacks on others who try to follow in his footsteps in their own ways and thru their own parties?
Can we not consider and debate objective policies, approaches, programs…the so-called ‘Manifestos’ of competing Political Parties, instead of the reported continuing personal bashing of personalities?
I believe appeals like this might invite criticisms of my being naive…but is it really necessary for those who seek the highest offices in our land to stoop as low as is being reported in the media?
Nowrang Persaud
