Dear Editor,
I am grateful that the Guyana Police Force is getting tougher with those who are breaching the government-imposed curfew and regulations.
I understand that the authorities are going to publish the names and pictures of businesses, individuals and organisations, which are found in breach of the curfew. This move is one, which will get kudos from the law-abiding citizens of Guyana. I support the police enforcement activities.
It is sure to shame and embarrass those who want to go beyond the curfew. It will make sure people think first about going to these crowded areas and partying in breach of the curfew.
Also, the secret parties and functions will cease because of the associated risk. It will become harder to attract large gatherings once would-be party goers find out their employment information would be published too.
All readers would agree with me, that the Police Force have waited and procrastinated in arriving at this point. But every day, someone is losing the fight to the COVID-virus and these persons are not heeding the advice. Bar owners and business must feel the squeeze if they do not want to abide by the party restrictions.
We got to do much better. People are seriously ill and dying at an alarming rate as a direct result of the spread of COVID-19. If the police cannot seem to get this lawlessness under control, the government should impose reintroduction of the 6am to 6pm curfew and lockdown, and we will see if that stops the wanton spread of COVID. We cannot continue to sacrifice the safety of nation because of a few partygoers and businesses.
Yours truly,
Suraj Singh
