An efficient government is needed

Jun 04, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

Our Hon. President, Mr. David Granger kept his word and elections were held. Now the results are being questioned. I, personally do not mind how many international observers were here to observe the voting process but in the end it is The People of Guyana, who shall have the final decision which Party should rule Guyana for the next five years. It has been almost three months and Guyana still has no government. Accordingly, all the boxes in every region have to be recounted.
It is my very humble opinion that there are very good and intelligent persons in all the political parties. They should sit down at a table and form a government. In this The People of Guyana shall have an efficient government. If this does not occur Guyana will be the poorest country in the world when, in fact, it is has the very real possibility to be one of the wealthiest.
When businesses are laying off workers on a daily basis I would ask where are these workers going to acquire funds to feed their children and in some case their parents, pay their rent, light, water and electricity bill, mortgages, etc? Eventually the entire economy will collapse and we will suffer drastically from hyper inflation as has already seriously infected the Suriname economy and has ravaged the Venezuela economy like the economic sickness that hyper inflation is. It devalues the currency rapidly and renders persons’ life savings, house value and wealth meaningless in a short period of time.
What I mention above will most assuredly happen if the government and opposition cannot demonstrate democracy at work.
After all we would simply be following the destructive path of our two immediate neighbouring countries.
Let me turn my attention to the Coronavirus. It is my opinion that this was a man made created virus so that certain countries and conglomerates could take advantage of small and medium economies of other countries of the world and take their natural resources and buy up their companies stocks at rock bottom prices The people of these countries then own even less of their country and are further victimized by another form of stealth neo-colonialism.
I would like to be proven wrong but it is my considered opinion that by the end of the pandemic the concentration of the world’s wealth will be in even fewer hands than before and the top 0.5% of the wealthiest will have increased their wealth by at least 15 – 20%. Put another way this will be over two trillion dollars.

Thank you,
Anthony Kissoon
