An Open Letter to the President of Guyana
Mr President,
I am writing this letter from Enterprise, E.C. Demerara. We are having a lot of problems in our once beautiful village. First I must thank the people of Guyana for electing you to the highest office. I can see you mean good for all Guyanese.
I am so sorry you were not elected years ago. Enterprise is 15 Miles from Georgetown and one mile south from the Main Highway. The PPPC always gets the most vote here , but in the past 23 years they forgot us , neglected us , treated us with little respect , and hardly did any development for us.
But in May 2015 the people had enough and quite a number of people voted for the Coalition Government, and you became the Elected President ,
One of our problems is Noise Nuisance, too loud and vulgar music all over the place, day and night. At the moment of writing the noise is unbearable.
On 09 January , about 1.30 am in the dead of the night, a loud music started in Jagan Street , close to the Christian church , and very close to the Hindu Mandir, and two houses away from a Member of Parliament’s mother In law who is in the late 80s.
The person was playing his music from his small white car, and if you hear the Curse words from the music. Several calls was made to the nearest Police Station , Vigilance , which is five minutes away by driving but honestly, no help or assistance was given.
This music woke up most of the hard working people and school children. It finally stopped about 4.30 am.
Tell us, Mr. President, who to call and seek help in the middle of the night?
Since the Super Bet Gambling shop came to Park Street is more problems–gambling all hours, plenty noise, smoking of illegal substance, loud and vulgar language.
How did the Authorities allowed a license to operate one house away from a place of worship? That license should have never been issued or it should be revoked NOW.
This betting shop has caused the increase in petty thieves–a lot of petty thieves, drugs smoking, and people not feeling safe again.
Of greatest concern is the bus service. A lot of letters have been written of the buses. They play the most loud music and we the travelling public have to endure it, whether its senior citizens or the sick , infants , there is no respect being shown.
Then it’s the overloading of the buses. How can a bus, Mr. President, leave Enterprise , travel 15 Miles to the City, pass so many police stations and not being stopped or being charged , all because some police ranks are accepting money from the buses for breaking the rule. Do a survey and see if the Bus Driver is paying Tax and have NIS coverage. A great concern, too, is too many illegal rum shops where private cars will stop and the occupants will drink and open up their loud music and disturb the neighbours.
Please Mr. President with your help and the Minister in your Government and the Police, Crime Chief, Police Commissioner, Guyana Defence Force, caring citizens, the media , if steps are taken soon at least, we will have some quiet and peace and development under your Presidency.
We feel there should be a Police Outpost set up soon in Enterprise to assist with our many problems , or allow the Guyana Defence Force to set up a Base to do some patrols day and night,
My Final word and wish to you is I Pray and hope that God will protect you and give you long years and good health to bring back the pride which we had but was destroy by the previous Government.
Yours Truly
Concern Citizen
