The nation cannot beg for what it owns

Sep 20, 2020 Letters

Dear Editor,

Whoopee! We are free of the dictatorial choke and rob strangulation from March 2020 to
August 2020.
In response to KN call for signatures to renegotiate oil contracts in favour of the
Country, this is useless in light positions held by these invited companies. We cannot use the cliché about ‘take your knee off our necks’ when they have carte blanche to do whatever pleases them. This is a pattern and template which directs this sort of grab-bag mentality by foreign exploiters.

What is needed, indeed required is a new form of government for the purpose of efficient management of all agencies. Political offices have no handle to deal with specific industries which primarily improves country’s economy. This by itself is a very lengthy proposition and beyond the confines of news inserts.

The matter of utmost concern at this moment is this: The government is now mandated to replace all present extraction quid pro quos with conditions and contracts amenable to the growth and development of Guyana. In light of what is published in the matter of Kaieteur and Canje Blocks, why is there consternation as to who owns these properties?
Government’s action is called upon without further delay to declare null and void any unauthorized interest in these assets. Those who repudiate and spit on this assertion of our dignity and rights can do the next best thing. We have reached the end of our patience. The nation cannot beg for what it owns.

Yours truly,
John De Barros
