We, hire car drivers are asking for the President’s intervention

Jun 15, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,

We would like to bring to the attention of the President of this country and his ministers that they must not be of the opinion that they own the votes of their supporters. I say this based on the fact that we the short drop hire cars operators have written many letters in the newspaper and no one seems to care. We have tried to make an appointment with the Vice President through his secretary and upon stating our reason, she said our matter is not for him. She then referred us to the Minster of Public Works. We have made three appointments to see the minister but after two months, we are unable to see him.
Our matter is very important and clear. We have an officially gazetted hire car park which the previous government took and placed vendors to ply their trade, and gave us a stretch of road to operate on from which we were operating for the past three years now. In November 2020, a senior police officer from the Brickdam Police Station came with the road marking men and reduced the area by half where only six cars can really fit – the remaining cars have to circle several times before entering the park. In doing so, it paved the way for venders to occupy the very stretch of road.
We are asking the Honourable President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana to read this letter and answer our plea. Please give us back 100 feet of the road so that three more cars can fit. We are looking forward for this re marking of the car park please.
Yours truly,
Hire Car Operators
