Politicians of all parties must work together

Jan 24, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,
One cannot help but be depressed about the equitable development of our nation when those on both sides of the political spectrum continue to carry on the affairs of our country with the misguided approach that they are right in whatever they are engaged in while the other side is wrong.  This means that they try their utmost in word and action to discredit all that the other side is proposing or has implemented and, as a result, working without the benefit of their contribution.  This approach to our national affairs clearly and continuously precludes the experience and expertise of the other side in any exchange in the implementation of any project, and so those who accede to power after any election must start at zero in their attempts to forge any progress in any sector.  It is must be clear from this inflexible attitude that the effect is that at any one time we are actually benefiting from only about 50% of the mental and other resources available.  Isn’t this far from the intentions of the authors of our Constitution when they crafted the rules by which we should be governed, i.e. by the cooperative system?
I strongly believe that our country will not progress unless we use conscience, unselfishness, and the sincere desire to achieve progress equally for all our citizens without prejudice of any nature to any as our guides to the administration of our affairs.
I am still optimistic that our politicians on both sides of the spectrum would rethink their divisive strategies, and I dream of the time when statesmanship will become the prevailing feature of our succeeding administrations, and our politicians will truly work, in their efforts at development, towards gleaning the full potential of our people, as well as gaining for us a life of peaceful coexistence, sufficiency and satisfaction.
Roy Paul
