An open letter to President Ramotar
Apr 28, 2015 Letters
DEAR MR. RAMOTAR,
We welcome you to Mabaruma as you visit to try and win our votes again at the upcoming elections.
Right on cue, you have come to dole out gifts, monetary and otherwise, in a bid to cover up for the promises that your Government never fulfilled over the past 23 years.
During that time we were fed goodies every five years and we made good on our contract to vote for the PPP.
Now, our children have grown up and are producing offspring of their own, and we are in the same situation.
Terrible roads; school buildings which are kind to the weather and not to our children, because the rain makes its way into the classrooms; Mabaruma Hospital is a mere camp site for the very ill where females and males share the same ward; school buildings which have taken up the entire yard space so our children no longer have a playing area; some schools have had no trained teacher for years;
Electricity, only a few hours a day; Pure Water Supply, only a few hours a day; Massive cover-up for frauds committed within the Administration – one of your supporters is being paid a salary for over five years and is not on the job; another has not been clearing advances and this has been allowed; one single contractor for buildings, supply of pure water et al; no regular steamer service as was promised 23 years ago
Mr. Ramotar, just as we presume that you are tired of making the same promises, we also are tired of hearing them.
Our children do not need toys now, they need books, they need trained teachers. One of our Nursery Schools is closed and the reason would surprise this nation.
Do not use our children to make up numbers at your rallies; our female children are getting pregnant at the Secondary School because your Government failed to put proper measures in place; you open a Marriott Hotel and our people live in shacks.
Mr. Ramotar, your Government has failed us miserably, and we want to tell you today it’s no longer time for gifts and handouts, it’s time for change.
Residents of Mabaruma
