Curfew violators and street cooking at night

Oct 09, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

Kaieteur News – The COVID-19 situation is getting worse in Guyana with more deaths reported and many more cases of COVID-positive turning up every day.
But it seems that the COVID restrictions do not apply to some people who openly disregard the curfew and continue as if there is no coronavirus or no laws.
Every night, there are vendors on the road still selling after the curfew time. You still have food vendors cooking on the road late at night. In Robb Street for example, many vendors are still out and selling late at night. One with a tent on Robb Street between Camp Street and Alexander is cooking fish or something with a stink smell when you drive by and he has customers with cars parked there while he is frying God knows what.
It is in the open and the Police or Constables of Council are not doing anything about it. Did they bribe someone to be allowed to violate the curfew and food safety and sanitation laws?
Come on Guyana Police Force and City Council do your job. Business people and residents around the area have complained to the City Council and Councillors on many occasions but the useless Council does not work at night and they do not work in the day also it seems.
Where are the Police Force and City Constables at nights (so that they can enforce the COVID rules and help to save lives)? Take a drive around the city and you will see many little grouping of people at tent shops in the streets, open shops, cooking and so on and nobody is doing anything about it. How are we going to stop the spread of COVID?
As some will say, Guyana is not a real place.

Sincerly,
Ronald Gravesande
