Dear Editor,
I am a Guyanese stranded in Aruba, I have applied to the COVID-19 Task Force and filled the form that the Ministry has on its website, waiting for an approval to return home.
However, my greatest concern is that should approval be granted and a particular time is also granted and I am not able to charter a flight or to board an airline that goes to Guyana within the specific period given to me by the Task Force, what should I do?
Am I to remain stranded here? However, Aruba has not opened its airport as yet so should approval be granted within a specified time that is within the closure of Aruba’s airport, how am I to get out?
I therefore ask the Government and the Task Force to exercise some amount of leniency as to the time span given upon approval of my application to return home.
I cannot charter a flight, I have a reservation with Copa Airlines and Copa Airlines is not working.
I therefore ask the Government and the Task Force to consider my plea to return home and grant my approval to return at my convenience.
Yours respectfully,
Sheik Omar

(Kaieteur News) – The questions came before, are coming again. Former Minister David Patterson pushed questions in and out of parliament relative to the Wales gas-to-energy project and got nowhere.
