Kudos to Commander Watts

Nov 18, 2020 Letters

Dear Editor,

I was flabbergasted as I watched the video of a young man supposedly from Region 3 attacking the Commander of Region 3, because he was performing his duties to protect us.
As the video progressed, there were some serious accusations against the Commander and members of the police force, and while I am not in agreement with their conduct, I am a little dismayed at how the host of the video addressed the Commander and the President, showing no respect by addressing them by their names.
I would say the man vented his anger out of utter frustration, but my humble opinion is that they are either ignorant or disrespectful. This is the second time I’ve had cause to pen a letter in support of Commander Watts’ actions, whilst there are some who are not in agreement of his actions.
Many persons I have spoken to are very supportive of the way he’s executing his duties in Region 3. It’s unwarranted for the man to be disrespectful like that.
Editor, Guyana is in a peculiar position due to the COVID-19 and if anyone noticed, there is marked increases in the infectious rate and deaths.
Based on what I’ve been hearing, Commander Watts have been tormenting the bars, rum shops and anywhere that having gatherings and he is personally present when these operations are taking place.
Without a doubt, hadn’t he been so vigilant, I am quite sure that the infectious and death rate would have been worse.
For that, I am grateful for Commander Watts and the manner in which he has handled the region. I have three children and relatives living in this region. I have to be responsible.
Finally Editor, it’s my understanding that the curfew is to ensure people are home by that time.
Not to wait until the exact time to go home.
The lady in the video is conducting a business that somewhat encourages people to venture out of their homes at night, and if she’s serious about playing a helping hand with this fight against the COVID-19, she would have to toe the line.
Based on what was being said in the video, liming is going on, and that is totally wrong.
Many are of the view that COVID-19 is transmitted when the place is cold or at nights.
In a number of countries, persons are in their homes by 18:00 hrs.
