“Dag wha ah suck egg, will always suck egg”

DEAR EDITOR,

As a Guyanese Citizen, please permit me to share my opinion, on the refusal of the PNCR & AFC Coalition Government, to hold a free and fair General Election as per our Constitution.
I grew up in Leguan with my father, who regularly spoke in parables, when he needed to make a strategic point of view. He did not have the opportunity for a university education, yet he was no fool. If he was alive today, he would tell me, “Son, dag wha ah suck egg, will always suck egg”
After the century of Mr. Burnham, Dr. Jagan and Mr. Rodney, Guyana currently is cursed with an unconstitutional Government = Dictatorship.
Guyana has less than 500,000 citizens who are entitled to vote. The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) is the most incompetent agency in the entire Universe, not only this world. Imagine if GECOM was responsible for election in India, with 1.2 billion citizens! How many light-years will it take GECOM to be in a position to hold free and fair democratic election?”
I am confident, a High/Secondary School Student in Guyana, Canada, USA, England, India or South Africa, if asked to merge the two Registration databases GECOM has, they will use the Microsoft Excel V-lookup function to provide a sanitized accurate voters list in a few hours.
Where are our youths? When will you stand up for you, your children and their children’s future? Our political elders have squandered and destroyed our dreams and aspirations. For Guyana to have any progress of magnitude, new young leaders must emerge. The baggage of the past will continue to haunt and dictate current politicians. President Kennedy famously asked Americans, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country?” The Great Mahatma famously said, “the only difference between a human and an animal, is that a human strives for a better life for himself/herself and their family day after day; while a cow continues to eat the same grass and sleep under the same tree from birth to death”.
It is my humble opinion, that all our Governments since Independence have managed Guyana as if they are cows. Do you disagree? If yes, why are more Guyanese living outside of Guyana with tremendous progress in every aspect of human advancement. They are the same Guyanese, but the Governments where they reside, while not perfect, work day in and day out to create upward mobility opportunities via law and order/security, democratic elections, fair constitutions, education, health care, business and jobs etc.
Mr. Charles Ramson Jr., your future must be aligned with Guyanese youths and not the current and past politicians of all stripes. After sharing and respecting each other’s point of view, we can agree to disagree, but do what is best for our country and citizens.
Please, better must come soon!!!!
Respect All,
Ronald
