Guyanese will one day say ‘enough is enough!’

Aug 29, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

Local film and music industry of international standards must be established in Guyana. Our talented young people should not have to depend exclusively on government handouts and government jobs. There has been a culture from time immemorial that speaks to politics controlling citizens in every facet of life in Guyana.

It is the curse of political control and domination. Guyana belongs to every Guyanese and its citizens; especially the young people and they must be free to expand their horizons and build their own businesses and brands free from political red tapes and interference.

We have been steeped in the culture of vote catching since independence and everything in terms of development has been influenced by that. Ruling politicians should be seen during elections season and not every day and everywhere politicking and stamping their authority. Jagdeo is seen as the general decision maker in Guyana. He decides on how the oil is managed, whether the Marriott should be sold, who gets a short or long sleeved red jersey or shirt, what refreshments are served in Parliament and how the police and army should conduct their daily operations.

Jagdeo believes Guyana is his property and the people in it are his servants. Many Guyanese are uncomfortable with Jagdeo’s stranglehold on the country but are afraid to speak because under his defacto presidency, you can be jailed or lose everything including your right to earn. This is the modern and democratic Guyana we are living in.

Guyanese will wake up one day and say enough is enough and politicians will have to have police and soldiers protecting them wherever they go. No one or system can keep people in bondage forever. Revolutions happen and will continue to happen.

Sincerely yours,

Norman Browne
