Dear Editor,
What happened on the East Coast Demerara Highway clearly illustrates that in President Granger’s mind, pomp and ceremony and pageantry are more important than an academic degree.
That is why students who have their final exams at the University of Guyana, Cyril Potter College of Education and those teenagers writing CAPE and CSEC exams, had to miss their exams all because this Granger government has a fatalistic obsession with parade, pomp and ceremony and pageantry.
Shame on ANSA McAl (which was offered a non-transparent and non-competitive medical supplies deal for G$605 million a few months ago, yet the Georgetown Hospital still has no aspirins). Shame on the Granger government! Shame on all the window blinds from the AFC and the WPA in that Granger cabinet especially Ministers Roopnarine and Patterson.
They collectively did very little to help those children! The weight of the tears of the parents of those students will forever weight on this operational bankrupt Granger/Nagamootoo government.
What manner of evil old men will destroy the future of our Guyanese children so that they can build another idle monument that adds absolutely very little economic value to the nation? Aesthetics will not feed the children of Guyana, but a well-trained and matriculated class will. Shame on President Granger on all counts! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
The parents, who spent thousands of dollars preparing their children for this day and the affected students themselves, will all be voters in 2020 and they ought to remember this day as their day of infamy come 2020. How more incompetent can this Granger government be?
