A personal disappointment
Dear Editor,
To learn of the suspension of columns in the state-owned Chronicle written by Dr. David Hinds and Mr Lincoln Lewis was a very big personal disappointment.
These gentlemen along with Freddie Kissoon and others, risked their lives and the safety of their loved ones, to highlight the atrocities of the previous administration and in doing so, paved the way for the current one.It was my strong belief that with a new government, Guyana would have ascended to a level where our leadership would have moved past pettiness and intolerance of constructive criticism. I wanted to believe that most of the critics would be seen as patriots with differing points of view, recognized for their knowledge of the history of our country and their desire, sometimes desperation, to see Guyana place itself in the position of respectability which it so deserves being blessed with its human and natural resources.Editor, we need a government that takes us forward, not backward to vindictiveness and the ‘us against them’ mentality.
Leadership must understand that in doing the people’s work, praise will be limited and criticism will be in abundance.
That is what they signed on for, and if they can’t handle the heat in a dignified and open-minded manner, then in the minds of many, they are doing a poor job.
