When will the politicians start accepting Guyanese prowess and potential?

Dear Editor

(Re. Kaieteur News Oct. 6, 2020). Our politicians seem to be enamoured with foreigners coming to Guyana to do jobs that Guyanese can do. When will they start respecting or at least accepting local Guyanese prowess or potentialities in doing just as good a job as the foreigners they contract? This is a case of a prophet having no honour in his own country. If our politicians have no confidence in our local capabilities, they can pick whomever they think is good enough to be sent overseas to learn the best of the trade.

First it was the Russians and our bauxite. Then it was the Chinese and the deforestation of our treasured greenheart trees. Haven’t they learnt anything from the plunder of our greenheart timbers? Then it was the Cheddi Jagan International Airport. Now it is the Aurora Gold Mines (AGM) that is at stake to be plundered without conscience by the Chinese once again. Only in Guyana do such things happen.

It angers me, as it should anger every Guyanese, when our politicians act so discriminately against their own people. This isn’t about any race, it is about looking out for our fellow Guyanese.

Yours truly,
Gloria Loo
