Oil wealth only helps if there are honest politicians

Aug 15, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
I strongly support the views of Mr Blackman in his letter appearing in your August 12th edition of Kaieteur News. I trust that President Granger reads this letter and becomes aware that these are the views of many who were desperate to see our beloved country, Guyana, lifted out of the depths to which it had sunk under the previous administration. I was sent an article recently about the entitlements of Libyans under Col. Gadaffi’s rule. It read like a fairy (Nancy) story to a Guyanese like me. That was until I Googled the subject and discovered what benefits were being enjoyed by the citizens of some oil-rich countries like Libya and Kuwait. Mr Editor I still am not sure of all the ‘facts’. My thoughts were however; what would the life of the most underprivileged Guyanese be, if the pending oil revenue was controlled by totally honest politicians who placed the land of Guyana and its people first.
