Dear Editor,
We support our representatives in Government and it is quite normal for us to copy what we see them do. They are like role models for us, and for our children too. But is their public behaviour to each other something that we should copy or allow to go unchallenged? Or should we voice our condemnation? What kind of Guyana are these individuals promoting?
The promise of a One Guyana may suffer serious setbacks from the choice of words from our members in Parliament. What is said and how it is said, may have consequences that we do not wish for. One of the last things that Guyana needs when it is pushing the One Guyana programme, is continued public display of animosity among our representatives.
Government representatives should take the lead in setting the tone for the civility, respect and togetherness we all wish for. Those in Government are in the position to set high standards of behaviour for all others to copy. This opportunity should not be abused to do the opposite.
President Ali may not have control over the words coming out of the mouths of members of the Opposition, but he should take responsibility and insist on polite expression from members on the Government side. The leaders of all other parties should deal with their members in the same way too.
The demand for good behaviour from leaders in our society may not seem a big deal, but these small moves by the President and others, will show that we are serious in creating a more courteous society.
Sincerely,
Muhammad Alli
