KN’s editorial and the respect due to all Guyanese

Jul 22, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

“Respect is just not due to the President and his Ministers. Every ounce of respect that BOSAI can summon is due to all Guyanese. From the workers they allegedly squeeze and then penalize for talking to the press.”

The above extract from Kaieteur News Editorial of July 17th, speaks volumes to both Guyanese and expatriates who pay attention to how our Government treats its peoples – of One Nation. The fact is that almost round-the-clock, observers/commentators of every perspective lament the conflictive environment in which so many, including public employees and families, have to survive. And while there are but a few protests in the streets, more are registered by attentive observers in the daily press and other social media – from whatever distance.

Meanwhile the latter are compelled to report on deaths, whether by accident or crime, frequent devastating fires and a range of other stressors, personal and/or organizational, leaving minimal pause for celebratory occasions – even at sports, so demoralised are our own youths. The adults, in turn mesmerised by the confusion over oil and gas contracts, complain of the uncertain safety of inferior structured roads, albeit controlled by compromised traffic commandants-underpaid, unable to cope, like so many, with increasing cost of living.

Then there are teachers questioned by students who relate indifferently to the former stressors – both searching for exemplars to emulate in the prayerful hope that sometime in the not too distant future themselves will grow to be ‘leaders’ whose morality/spirituality will be acclaimed in the very publication they now read.

Hopefully by that time, BOSAI would have arrived at paying respect to Guyanese of all levels.

Yours truly,

E.B. John
