Much work is needed if we are to put this nation right

Aug 06, 2019 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

The pundits have already pronounced on the likely election dates with some of them taking hard positions thereon. I verily believe that for the greater part they have all been missing the bus.
The ‘rulings’ from the CCJ are for the most part conciliatory and seek to enjoin the ‘combatants’ to get together for the common good of the nation. The CCJ would not like to witness a replication in the other Caricom territories. Most certainly not! That would be a recipe for political and social disaster.
The political parties should have been using this period to reconvene the ‘House’ for the sole purposes of establishing a constituent assembly which would work with civil society to craft a new constitution devoid of ambiguities and uncertainties. After the drafting and approval of this new constitution, we could then have ‘credible’ elections with GECOM having completed its assignment of house-to-house registration. This is what this nation needs. Not the baying of fools and the uttering of specious legal interpretations and the wasting of the Supreme Courts’ time with frivolous law suits.
Guyana needs to get serious with its politicians and demand that they get it right. Much work is needed if we are to put this nation right. We have to forget about the blaring headlines of the media. Their job is to sell their products and not necessarily to help to heal the nation. Should our leaders get down to real hard and serious work, we would be able to overcome the fears and apprehensions of this period and come out ahead of the ‘pack’.

Regards,
Cyril Walker
