The terrorism of noise and lawlessness in a COVID academic environment
DEAR EDITOR,
The maddening noise and lawlessness has continued across the country unabated even with an escalation in the number of COVID-19 positive cases and a newly sworn in government.
But most aggravating is the absence of concern by the government and the law enforcers of the harm being done to tens of thousands of students who now have to study at home during the day and night. Students at all levels are being affected whether they are at primary, secondary and university levels.
Established bars and makeshift street bars and cookhouses saturate the streets of the country especially in the godforsaken Georgetown where they still operate beyond the curfew times and carry on as if there were no restrictions. Unlicensed and dirty street cooking still going on without the City Council or government doing a damn thing about it. And they have loud music which continues without any restrictions. Music carts, homeowners, street bars and cookhouses, vehicles with massive boom boxes are all contributing to the aggravating problem. Where are the government officials, Minister of Security, Commissioner of Police, Education Minister, Health Minister and the rest of them?
Are the politicians and Police so brainless that they do not realize that the situation has changed and children and students now have to watch television or their phones for lessons and any slight distraction from loud music and brawling drunkards will cause severe disruption to their studies?
I am calling on all government officials to take immediate action on the noise and lawlessness going on. And forget about the disgraced Georgetown City Council, they are a waste of time and the Council must be dissolved or done away with because they are the ones encouraging the lawlessness and are not doing anything about it.
It is time to bring law and order to our country and especially to ghetto Georgetown.
Sincerely,
Kris Brighton
