The EPA should not be politicized

Feb 10, 2021 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

Kaieteur News – I can concur with views recently expressed by Mr. GHK Lall concerning the EPA here in Guyana. This organization does not need to be politicized. We need a fully professional entity to look after our environmental issues. The senior staff should be accountable to the populace and they should ensure that both local and foreign companies adhere to the letter of the law concerning their various operations.
The basic issue is the health and wellbeing of our citizens. This is an inviolable precept and should be respected by all and sundry. Many persons coming here to do business cannot behave in unbecoming ways even in their own countries. Thus they should never be allowed to flout our laws and systems.
I have a case in point concerning my own residence where neighbours have been burning gold without permission. A stop order was issued but they have continued nevertheless with impunity. The EPA need to put this matter to rest by taking the necessary punitive actions against the offenders.
I am looking forward to seeing the EPA being staffed by professionals and not by political brethren.

Regards,
Cyril Walker
