“From the time the Dead Sea was young” we have all been told that Guyana is a Land of Many Waters and Many Peoples. It is conspicuous to anyone looking at Parliament Members to see an absence of minority ethnic representation, and thus gives a lie to the much touted claim. This is a poor image of the country.
I am not one for copying what other countries do, but we know of the term “affirmative action” in support of minority representation. Something of this sort is obviously missing in Guyana.
The ‘no confidence motion’ currently being carried out illustrates that Leaders are “a one in a million bunch’ born and not cultivated. Those who step out from the crowd to be counted. It can easily be seen that Guyana is a land of the expected and anything else throws everyone in loop. However there comes a moment of enlightenment.
Even at this eleventh hour of dealing with oil extraction, no vision of this future of unbeknown wealth has emerged to inform the public to see where we all fit in. This now being a blank slate, political parties would endeavour to present their views and plans for a satisfactory future. Power is now in the hands of the people.
The primary issue has to be the neutralizing of the Venezuela menace by whatever means necessary. Some people just have to learn the hard way. They can’t feed themselves, but planning to make war while believing their own lie. This is not going to be done in secrecy as is done with O&G extraction. The meeting of the long East-West prologue will culminate here. Now is the time for political parties to speak on this matter.
This is State sponsored terrorism. Send their hungry people back to them, tell Guyanese to get back to Guyana immediately; what could they be eating over there? When those despots pull red herrings over their people there is a price to be paid.
Like we say to little children – Leave people things alone! Damn-it.
