There is a slim chance to change Guyana for the better
DEAR EDITOR,
Recently, David Granger of the APNU+AFC has come in for a barrage of criticism for not upholding the Guyana Constitution (and rightly so). It is deemed that he is taking “guidance” from Basil Williams.
While Basil Williams is guiding David Granger, Irfaan Ali is being “guided” by Bharrat Jagdeo.
Guyanese do not want their President nor President-hopeful being guided by anyone.
What Guyanese want is a better quality of life. A better quality of life does not necessarily mean more money (although some may see this as a requirement to fulfil their needs). They want clean water, cheaper food, reliable electricity, better healthcare and education, etc. As a minimum, Guyanese deserve Good Governance, Accountability and Transparency.
This is why it is imperative for the media (The Fourth Estate) to uphold its responsibility and hold BOTH the Government and Opposition Accountable for the state of affairs in Guyana.
In Opposition, the APNU+AFC had ALL the solutions to Guyana’s problems. Yet, in Government they seem clueless.
In Opposition, the PPP/C seems to have the solution to Guyana’s problems. But, they will be just as clueless.
This is because both political outfits are recycling the same old politicians who have not been successful in governing Guyana.
Guyana is in desperate need of a “new breed of politicians”, those who will put people first.
Let’s face it, with the current system, we are not about to rid ourselves of the PNC and the PPP (two minions locked in battle for their own petty survival). But we can make them think again. This is why I am advocating for Guyanese to support Lenox Shuman of the Liberal and Justice Party or Guyanese will be stuck with the same-same politics of the past.
There is a slim chance to change Guyana for the better. But this will not happen under the PPP/C nor the PNC led APNU+AFC.
Yours faithfully,
Sean Ori
