Shameless society!

Jul 28, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

I wish to refer to the opinion shared by Freddie Kissoon in his column of July 26th. It is his opinion that two motions introduced in Parliament by the opposition should never have been pursued by the opposition. I refer to the motion for the government to pay public servants one month after they receive their letter of appointment and also the proffered amendment of the anti-marijuana law.

Now, Mr. Kissoon’s argument is that the opposition would likely take credit should these motions be passed. He asks why it was not done during the opposition’s period in government. True! So what? Isn’t service to the nation a more compelling reason to accept the motions? Isn’t making life easier and, giving satisfaction to those in need not a better act?

Now, Freddie claims that he is a champion, has a heart for those who are downtrodden. Is he in agreement with a government who turned down the motion that sought to benefit those he, Freddie claims to be a champion? Is he saying that there is no place for magnanimity in government? Is it all about who did not do this or should have done that when they had the chance and who would be given the “glory”? Of course, Freddie, it’s all about the vote. Hypocrisy in plain sight. Government obviously holds the same view as Freddie.

When just men increase, the people shall rejoice: when the wicked shall bear rule, the people shall mourn.

Guyanese society go nowhere with the kinds of small, self serving minds. The poor is trodden underfoot so that the elites may look good. Shameless society! I see, as no doubt others do, that there is no sense of humanity in our society, in our government. The cry of the poor, the single mothers, the pensioners, the homeless is heard every day, but it falls on the deaf ears, numb hearts of greedy creatures dressed in attires that fail to cloak their avaricious mien.

I end by saying that there appears to be a global move to displace corrupt and evil self serving individuals from all spheres of society. Watch out Guyana!

Sincerely,

Hinds
