On matters of interest to Lindeners
DEAR EDITOR,
I use this opportunity to share my views on some matters of interest to Lindeners and Guyanese as a whole.Quite recently, the Mayor and Town Council of Linden in collaboration with the Bauxite Company, BOSAI, and other interested groups and concerned citizens, refurbished and beautified the Memorial Monument, situated south of the Republic Avenue. That in itself is clearly a demonstration that Lindeners are a people who do things with the little we have.
On behalf of the Linden Tourism Association, we extend congratulations for a job well done.
The Linden Tourism Association is under serious and constant verbal attack by some citizens of Linden who are unaware of their non-involvement that causes Linden to regress, whereby outsiders have to come to Linden and criticise and perform functions that can be done by Lindeners.
Let’s look at our surroundings, how we dispose of our garbage, how our taxi and minibus drivers speak, dress, and attack passengers on our streets.
As a proud Lindener, I know a change will come, one of our taxi drivers who is always well dressed and stands out among the rest is Mr. Dean Millington aka ‘Lie Low’. Congratulations, keep on doing what you are doing Mr. Lie Low.
While Guyanese are talking oil, oil, oil, tourism is said to be the second largest revenue earner presently, therefore, let’s educate ourselves and continue to produce foods, it’s the best way forward for the small man. The time has come to recognise ethnicity and political division is taking us nowhere. Let’s remember, we cannot live separately, therefore, we are better together.
