Dear Editor,
Kaieteur News – It is literally a crying shame what our political leaders have allowed and continue to allow the oil companies and other foreign companies to do to Guyanese for generations to come while they enrich themselves with the wealth from our natural resources laughing all the way to their banks.
The oil companies just love it when our political leaders, the PPP/C and the PNC(R) are at odds with each other. Instead of fighting each other over crumbs, the time has come for both parties to put aside their differences and fight our common enemies who are here only to rob and plunder us of our natural resources leaving our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren with just the clothes on their backs when they should be enjoying the results of their God-given wealth.
My fellow Guyanese there is strength in numbers. Let us tell our party leaders the time has come for us to band together as one people, one nation, and fight the common enemy for what is rightfully ours so that our children and grandchildren will not have to endured the hardships we endured to put food on the table for our children, but will enjoy a better life than we did.
The prices for everything these days just keeps going up and up and up, even Banks (DIH) bread has increased by $30-$50 more depending on where you buy it.
As Bob Marley famously sang: Cost of living get so high, the rich and poor they start to cry, Oh! what a situation. Them belly full, but we hungry. A hungry man is an angry man.
The rain a faal, but the dutty tough. A pat a cook but the food nah nuff.
My fellow Guyanese let us: Get up, stand up, stand up for your right, don’t give up the fight, don’t give up the fight.
Yours truly,
Gloria Holder
