The media entities can be transformed into caretakers of good governance, credibility with all the tenets of good journalism
DEAR EDITOR,
Permit me a few lines in your newspapers to highlight a most troubling development, which must be called out for what it is, with the hope that what must be a blind spot is corrected.
As I perused another newspaper’s Monday, August 26, 2019 edition, I came upon the headline of “Caretaker President in back-to-school drive at Liverpool” which I found perplexing.
Editor, it is public knowledge that the Government has acknowledged that it is an “interim administration” given the validity of the no -confidence motion as determined by the Caribbean Court of Justice.
The Government has limited its overseas travel and has indicated that it will not pass the national budget nor initiate any controversial project or policy commitment that cannot be changed.
The Government has however repeatedly maintained its role to ensure the safety and security of the citizenry and the administration of services of the state.
Cde. Editor in our current domestic political situation, the Government has continually communicated and demonstrated that it will ensure credible elections are held in the shortest possible time.
The Guyanese people on all sides are interested in an electoral process that is above scrutiny particularly as we prepare for petroleum and its prospect of significant National Development for all. We can ill afford to be bickering over contested results at such a momentous time – history will be unkind to us should we fail to get it right this time.
Editor, this naked display of what can only be deemed as a personal attack on the Head of State must come to an end. Entities responsible for disseminating information to the public especially given our political history must demonstrate some level of reasonable ethics.
As our nation approaches General and Regional Elections and makes an informed choice on the course of leadership, it is hoped that entities can transform themselves into the caretakers of good governance, credibility and all the tenets of good journalism.
Sincerely,
Ryan Maraj
