Stop these attempts to divide Guyanese

Aug 13, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,
It has been quite some time now that I have deliberately sought to stay out of the otherwise venous political limelight of Guyana for the mere fact – it seems to create mostly enemies than friends. However, I felt a deep sense of patriotic responsibility to squarely denounce any acts deliberate or otherwise or vestiges of racism against any sector of our multi ethnic society.
The recent utterances by certain elements of the opposition benches whom will know themselves well during a recent visit to the US must be squarely denounced because it is absolutely imperative that as right thinking human beings and as sons and daughters of this soil that we seek to find consensus and common ground. It matters not what is one’s race, colour, creed, class or sexual orientation. What truly matters is the precious value of life and the sacred thread that bind us all together as human beings.
It is therefore incumbent upon all Guyanese irrespective of their kith or kin to see the deep value of President Granger’s call for peace, togetherness, mutual love and respect as well tolerance as we seek to develop Guyana for all and truly achieve the sacred promise of a better tomorrow for all. A house divided against itself will fall.
It is important that all Guyanese to truly understand and appreciate that Guyana is poised for bigger and better things but we need all hands on deck and to stop this incessant infighting because our enemies on both sides of the border will seek to exploit it. If we are to truly realize our full socio-economic potential then we must create an atmosphere where any respectable global investor will find confidence in wanting to invest in Guyana. If we do not seek the much desired change by adopting the historic examples of Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Mandela, then we are only going to dig a deep pit for ourselves and have no one else to blame. Look no further than Bosnia, Rwanda, Burundi and Afghanistan as living examples of what we can degenerate to.
No one is going to want to invest billions in any country where there is no socio-economic and political stability or better yet social cohesion, so it is time to let go of this mental bondage of ‘Apanjhaat Politics’ and strive for a higher ground in full support of ‘One People, One Nation, One Destiny’.
