DEAR EDITOR,
President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana of Guyana Ret’d Brigadier David Arthur Granger is within his right to choose persons to fill Ministerial and Ambassadorial positions – such is the responsibility and must be respected by all and sundry, as his decisions are constitutionally guided.
He remains saddled with top officials in the public sector who daily undermine the effort of the coalition APNU/AFC Government. Removing the saboteurs would be seen as witch hunting, they lurk in every Ministry and Government department, so our President must be mindful of those he selects to fill those key and strategic positions of government. There must be loyalty and he is well aware of that, this I suspect helps to guide his decisions.
There will be criticisms, but a wise President that he is, will have reasons for making his choice of Ministers and Ambassadors. While the critics have their right under the constitution, His Excellency also has his right as head of State knowing full well that his Ministers are guided by a solid team of technical advisers.
I find critics very disrespectful to the President, but he journeys on, marshalling the patriotic citizens for development of this bountiful nation. His achievement over the last four years in the areas of Public Security, social cohesion, education, health, infrastructure, youth empowerment, etc., must be commended. He and his Government have laid the groundwork for future national development, and only he as President is capable of maintaining this peace that we now enjoy.
Gone are the days of extrajudicial killings, a parallel economy, blatant corruption, land grabbing and a drug trade that thwarts every effort of development. Order has returned to this land of many waters and must be maintained.
Guyana needs President David Arthur Granger’s wisdom, vision and tolerance.

(Kaieteur News) – One of the great weaknesses of our politics is that too often a good idea becomes a bad idea simply because it was proposed by the other side.
