Our youths are being deprived of making mistakes and gaining experience
DEAR EDITOR
Both of our major political parties behave as if they own the people of Guyana and the country as a whole. On the administrative body of every public institution, they have their members occupying key positions, even if these members have little or no relevant experience, leaving little room for other eligible Guyanese.
More than that, most of these party representatives belong to the past, while our youths are not given the opportunity to make mistakes and gain experience.
For over fifty years, they have embedded our country in the storming stage. While they battle with each other, feathering their nests, helping themselves, their families, relatives and friends, they leave a few crumbs for the general population.
Both of these parties and their leaders behave as masters, living in luxury, and having their house and yard servants devouring the sustenance of the poor field workers and enjoying fire in their bellies. The young people have to be proactive and take steps to prevent these wolves and leeches from continuing to fool them and leave them in a stupor.
As a pensioner, I cannot understand why our old folks are working themselves to death for, after all is said and done, they cannot enjoy the loot they gain by taking over the jobs of our youths.
Therefore, I urge our young people to vote for other parties and prevent the two tigers from keeping us storming for another 50+ years.
Youths are the majority, so let the old folks vote for their traditional ethnic parties. Youths must vote for the other parties so that we can have more no-confidence motions to force the political masters to walk the talk, talk the walk and muddy their shining shoes.
If the youths can vote for other parties, development will come to their doorsteps. Our country will not find itself in the horrible mess we now experience and our people will not be taken for extremely unpleasant, spine-chilling and terrible rides at election time.
Also, our retired, rehired folks will spend more time with their grandchildren as opposed to working themselves to death.
Sincerely,
Ed Singh
