Join Glenn Lall’s desperate fight to save Guyana

Apr 13, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

If you’re desperate enough, you will do anything; without hesitation you will morph into ‘David slaying Goliath’ mode; ‘small axe does cut down big tree’, they say.

That is but one lesson that I have learnt from Glenn Lall as he shares some profound truths about this country on his radio programme.

The man’s simplified version of the hard hitting news stories, which in the newspaper would go above most of our heads, is impressive by any stretch of the imagination. He has evolved into a giant of a ‘news man’, informing people of what they need to know, and with no filter too.

I usually look at his programme, The Glenn Lall Show, on Youtube – it’s on Facebook and his radio station (99.1FM) too. You know the man is sincere when you see the fire in his eyes as he expresses his discuss with the way this country is being governed.

It makes me, and I assume, many of his viewers too, thank God daily for sending him our way to open our previously blinded eyes, to the realities that some decisions made by our leaders will keep us trapped in the realm of a developing nation, with no hope of seeing genuine development.

But Glenn Lall is not a man without solutions to the problems he sees.

What he has made clear is that he could forgive if “yuh tief a lil bit’ here and there, but without restrained, now that is simply an abomination, one that has forced the man to expose, as we would say, “he own matte” as well as others who dare to be barefaced too.

The man is a visionary, I’ve come to understand. He built a media empire, largely by harnessing the good in people and showing them they have a superb purpose in life – to bring an end to the scourge of inequality. Will he achieve this, I think that’s up to you and me, and of course where our interest lies.

With some outstanding like-minded people, he has been carrying the fight, and I am among the readers, and I assure you there are many more, who can no longer ward off the contagion called desperation – we are desperate to see a better Guyana for our children, we are desperate to see decent, God-fearing leaders in office, we are desperate to see an end to poverty. What stands between our present existence and achieving these, is desperation.

I appeal to all like-minded individuals to protest the wrongs being done in this country, at every corner and it will eventually make honest crooks out of our leaders.

Yours truly,

P. France
