Our Politicians should suffer the same fate as ‘professionals’
DEAR EDITOR,
Our Politicians should suffer the same fate as ‘professionals’ in all other organisations. They should not be allowed to continue in positions they discredited.
For incompetence, gross misconduct, illegal acts, disrepute, dishonesty, abuse of trust…people with high-level relevant qualifications and skills are got rid of for the betterment of the organisation they work for. Sports clubs replace bad managers, captains, players; businesses replace chief executives and directors who underperform; committees get new Chairman and officers…yet political parties recycle individuals who have repeatedly let us down.
Political parties are responsible for ensuring that those promoted to leadership roles, always have in their minds that we trust them to do their best for all us and not just the preferred few; promises must be kept and not used to exploit our loyalties.
AFC members should seriously consider if any of its MPs deserve to be put forward as candidates for the upcoming elections. Would those same guys miraculously transform and deliver the politics-for-Guyanese the AFC was birthed for? PPP/C and APNU also have many in their numbers who do not deserve our faith.
We must change the mantra from, we get the politicians we deserve, to our politicians should always respect the faith and trust we put in them.
The significance of our politics in delivering better lives for all of us should not be allowed to degenerate any further.
