DEAR EDITOR,
The astute historian that he is, the President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana Brigadier David Arthur Granger along with first lady Sandra Granger for the past three years have been keen to promote the development of communities through the efforts of the residents of those communities. Their emphasis on skills training and education has been their mantra; at every opportunity President Granger encourages young people to get technical and vocational skills in this era of technological development worldwide, and mainly because of the oil industry that will start production come 2020.
Our President has the right to analyse the African Guyanese pitfalls that result in very clear underdevelopment of the communities in which they reside.
Spree, party and drunkenness is the new norm among Guyanese youth and it must be rebuked. The President is within his right as Head of State to let the young people know they are not on course for National development, and therefore their needs to be a change of attitude and behaviour on their part, as they are expected to be the pillar for the development of this new industry and the revitalizing of the African village economy. it must be the mandate for all African Guyanese leaders to embrace our President as he seeks to work with all Guyanese to realize the dream of a good life for all.
