Where is the Minister of Amerindian Affairs?

Jun 25, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

The headlines and the details of what a young child had to allegedly endure at the “hands” of a Minister of Government, following on the heels of the merciless death of 20 young children–all of them from our Indigenous community, begs the question–Where is the Minister in charge of Amerindian Affairs?

What does she really do? Is she aware that her job is to look after the affairs of the Indigenous peoples of Guyana or is it to just enjoy the perks of being a bench warmer in Parliament? Nothing from her when 20 young indigenous lives were horribly snuffed out and NO WORD from her when one of her colleagues (fellow bench warmer) in Parliament is named in an alleged assault on a young indigenous female! Shame on you, Minister of Amerindian Affairs.

Will this child today, get justice? Who is looking out for her?

Editor, I scoured the newspapers and did not see a word so far from any of the religious groups; denouncing this alleged dastardly act on a young child of Guyana. Have they also lost their morality? Where are their voices for this child?

The #METOO Movement skipped Guyana and as a result, young lives continue to be exploited and maimed. I close for now, with words from a persona that many in Guyana like to quote when it suits their agendas… “Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out the whole truth and acting accordingly.” 

“Non-cooperation with Evil is a sacred duty.” M.K. Gandhi.

Yours Sincerely,

N. Sahadeo
