No room for divisive people

Dec 11, 2018 Letters

Editor,

What is the role of the opposition? Is it to derail the progress of the nation, or is it to see that those in government move the nation foward for the betterment of the people? Something seems to be very wrong with the people’s representative in the Parliament of Guyana.
When the politics of the day becomes a personal vendetta between Government Ministers and opposition members, there must be a public outcry from those they were elected to serve.
Members of the House must be reminded that their election to office was on the pretext that they were best suited to take the nation forward. Recent acts by the opposition in Guyana to hinder the passing of a progressive budget, and doing so using petty political maneuvers is definitely not in the interest of the nation and people they serve.
Guyana must understand that at this age she must come to maturity. Our politicians must be wise and learn from leaders like Nelson Mandela, and M.L. King Jr. No nation or people will stand if that nation or people continue to promote divisions among themselves.
As a nation we now stand on the threshold of the greatest opportunity presented to us for national prosperity. Such an opportunity must not be squandered by childish racist political gimmick. We have a nation to mould and must do so not being selfish, but putting first our children, and all our people.
Those that are guilty of converting state assets to their own personal use, must also return same, or pay the full cost. Leaders of the people must hold themselves to high morality, and ethical standards. There must be no double standards. Our criminal justice systems must not appear to favour some, and be cruel to others.
Ladies and gentlemen of the great House, let not history hold you responsible for failing this great nation and people. Take stock of your actions. Our children and neighbors are watching. We must come together now and build this nation; we must unite our people, or those that look with envious eyes may have thoughts of their own .

Finally I remind us that Guyana belongs to all Guyanese, and those who represent the people must do so with this in mind. Those seeking to divide must step down now, and allow others with love for this nation and its people to take their place.
