The Natural Attrition Rate should have enabled Balancing of Government Institutions

Nov 04, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

There have been claims of racial discrimination in Guyana. With Indo-Guyanese having a disproportionate amount of Guyana’s wealth, there has been a call for a redistribution of wealth. There has always been a call, long before Guyana came into existence, for a redistribution of wealth from the rich to the poor. But, in Guyana’s case, it takes on an ethnic perspective. How does those who purport to want wealth transfer from rich to poor envisage such transfers to take place?

Similarly, there has been a call for ethnically balancing of the Afro-Guyanese dominated Government Institutions. The natural attrition rate should have enabled balancing of the Government Institutions over the decades. Obviously, something is stopping this from happening. Some would argue that Indo-Guyanese do not want to work in the Police Force or the Armed Forces hence why there is an in-balance in these Government Institutions. It is a RUBBISH ARGUMENT as what is preventing Chinese, Portuguese or Amerindians from joining up en masse?

For, as an example, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) to win the war on crime, it will need the co-operation of citizens. It will need to win the hearts and minds of citizens, which is not going to happen overnight as the vast majority of citizens distrust the GPF. With the call for equal opportunities for all, I hope in time that these Government Institutions will be more ethnically balanced just as I hope in time for there to be transfer from those who are wealthy to those who are poor.

Yours faithfully,

Sean Ori
