Could I be wrong in thinking that “Massa day done”?

Oct 15, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

I admire the boldness and clarity of thought of Ms. Audreyanna Thomas. I read her letter written as Citizen, Audreyanna Thomas, Masters of Jurisprudence, Rule of Law for Development, Rule of Law Advisor/Advocate, rather than as Corporate Communications Officer at GuySuCo.
In her letter in Kaieteur News of October 9 entitled, “Electoral fraud being investigated by the police and DPP, at this stage, is unlawful”, she draws from her knowledge of the law, which she studied. I found her explanation very thought-provoking and interesting and wondered if by any chance her interpretation of the law had anything to do with her being fired from her job “with immediate effect” as stated in Stabroek News, Saturday, October 10. I prefer to think that we could not have sunken to such abysmal depths of dysfunction as to seek to get rid of a worker, known for excellence, because she chooses to express her thoughts on what is written in the law!
I want to believe that freedom of expression is still the privilege of every Guyanese, and hope that serving at an entity does not mean suppressing all constructive criticism and being subservient to “Massa”, whoever he/she may be in whatever season or Institutional setting. Could I be wrong in thinking that “Massa day done”?
I join with Martin Luther King Jr. in admonishing “… let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream.” (Amos 5:24 Holy Bible)
