Dear Editor,
Kaieteur News – The above caption was pontificated by Hon. Juan Edghill, Minister of Public works a few months ago after observing first-hand the wanton erection of shacks and other hazards on the roadways.
I wish to bring to their attention, a construction that started as a bar-b-que hut outside the fence of St. Pius Church on Middle road La Penitence. Passing there this morning, a permanent concrete structure is now erected. You need to see this to believe. Are we suggesting that the Inspectors in the City Engineers’ Department are complicit, lazy or downright reckless?
How can this be?
The lewd and vulgar activities that prevail their nightly, imbibing, marijuana smoking, gambling, you name it. Father Monty is at pains to keep this congregation in line. The smell of urine blowing across the church on Sunday is mind-boggling. Bishop Edghill, I am asking you to wear the hat of the Bishop you are at this time, a no nonsense campaigner and act. THIS LAWLESSNESS CANNOT CONTINUE! Minister Dharamlall who I know personally, has both Christian and Hindu connections, this is disrespect of the highest order sir, please act NOW.
Mayor Narine and the City Council leaves much to be desired in this regard, several of his Engineering Staff traverses Cemetery Road including City Engineer Colvern Venture and Miss Jerrick, under whose watch this sore was birthed.
It’s inexcusable to allow our places of worship to be desecrated to this extent without no redress in sight. I am asking you two Ministers, PLEASE STOP THIS LAWLESSNESS FROM GETTING OUT OF CONTROL.
Regards,
Ronald Shepherd
Age old complaints of the power company
Dear Editor
The old and tired reason of electricity theft is again being proffered as an excuse for its [GPL] inability to offer a salary increase. It would appear the 2020 increase made in 2021 is all the company is prepared to offer at this time.
Is the company doing all it can and exploring all ways and means to make an offer, or is it a done deal, and the employees are left to become collateral damage because of theft and vandalism. Age old complaints, which successive administrations of the company have not been able to tackle with any degree of achievement?
