A young President on the move, hate on the way out

Apr 20, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

The flights to Guyana are practically full, with passengers who are not residents of Guyana. We seem to be benefiting from a leader who knows that this country needs to be modernized in many areas. Impressive is the fact that this president is constantly stepping out of his office to meet and greet residents in different regions and listen to their concerns. This outreach initiative to various regions is a brilliant idea. Any boss who runs a factory will tell you; once in a while meeting the factory workers, to hear what is actually happening on the ground is a sound idea. This outreach initiative is not about buying votes. It’s an effective way of getting information and being familiar with what’s happening all over Guyana and resolving problems. That’s being smart.

Kudos, to the Men on a Mission program as well. If Jimmy Carter (once a president of the US), stood side by side with ordinary citizens of the US and built homes under the program-Habitat for Humanity, why can’t this president. Shame on those people complaining that there is a Ministry of Labor or Housing to do these things.

80% of people in Guyana are under 40 years old. They are NOT interested in Cheddi Jagan or Burnham or past history. They are not interested in the Elders/Ogunseys/Alexander’s or Lewis’s of the world; who are still living as if it’s the 1970’s, most of whom are nearly 100 years old. Those who are consumed by the fact that they hate Indians morning and night have shown that they CAN’T adjust to a modern world or know what is important to the young people in Guyana. And while they are so consumed with living as if it’s still the 1970’s, foreigners are coming in, and building businesses in Guyana. The time spent hating, should have been used to create businesses, needed to support different aspects of the Oil sector. Guyana is now being exposed to the world-a world of technology/innovation and clear accomplishments.

We have a young leader, who realises that modernization is needed in many areas in Guyana. And by the way, we need to see the blueprint for Silica City. Let’s see how modern this New City is going to be and what is going to be built. Let’s have those Chip cards. To those who are nearly 100 years old and just hate, hate, complain or live in the past-Welcome to a new world!! The young people in this country are more interested in good roads (with pavements), so they can use their electric scooters, good salary so they can now make trips to Britain, places to park when they leave their homes, conducting their financial transactions on their phones, (like other developed countries) instead of going to the bank and waiting in a long line. The list is endless.

Many government offices still need to modernize and be made more efficient. Yes, thank goodness we have a young leader for a modern world. No, thank you to those who are consumed by hating Indians in particular. Their time has gone and the world is changing.
