How do we spell SECURITY in Guyana?
DEAR EDITOR,
Quite recently I tried to make an important inquiry from the Ministry of Public Security via their Internet address, only to receive no response. This was a horrible failure.
This is a picture of a nation with no sense of emergency and the fullness of the extreme responsibilities to the enlarged economy coming on our heads.
There are obviously no emergency management systems, due to the absence of Environmental and Geophysical catastrophic events occurring in other countries.
Everything is taken for granted here until we get a rude awakening.
A majority of the population have fallen into a false sense of security that it is now time to sleep on a bed of oil with great riches and others will serve the needs of the Nation.
If this oil reality was present in any of these small islands, the world would hear their celebratory noises; not so with Guyanese. We don’t sell ourselves well at all.
Lack of understanding of Guyana’s real and true wealth distorts our thinking.
Every ministry and Government agency ought to be furnished with no less than six lines for 24-hour contact service. Government must be seriously faulted on this score.
I maintain there is nothing wrong in my Great Guyana that the Pen and Pencil can’t
fix in the right hands.
