Will the City Council ever get it right?
DEAR EDITOR,
Last Monday, Guyana observed a national day of mourning for the fishermen that were killed by pirates seven weeks ago in Suriname waters.
According to a proclamation by President David Granger, signed by Minister of State Joseph Harmon, the day would have served as a solemn memorial to the victims.
As I drove around our capital on that day, quite appropriately, I saw all State entities and most private sector entities were flying their flags at half-mast. I felt so patriotic and proud to show respect to those fishermen who died in an effort to put food on our tables
Then I passed the Stabroek Market Square and observed the flag there flying lustily at full mast. I had to ask myself the question, “Will the City Council ever get it right? Could it be that the ‘Big Enchiladas’ at City Hall believe that they are above the laws, protocols and established etiquette of our country? Or is it simply that they are just unsophisticated, unworldly and unsuitable for positions of leadership?”
Best regards
Sincerely,
Roseanne Rodgers
