Every Guyanese has a contribution to make to further enhance the economic development of our country

Dear Editor,

Guyana emerged out of an exploitative and dehumanising plantation system, which Britain administered—even before and after independence, Western powers continued to interfere and manipulate the affairs of Guyana. For example, Haiti fought a bitter battle for their freedom but, European powers especially France placed a stranglehold on the economic, political, and social development of that country.

Despite, the many challenges that Guyana continue to face this nation has made progress. This goes to show that every Guyanese has a contribution to make to further enhance the economic development of our country.

I agree that we still have some way to go in achieving the dreams and aspirations of the people. However, I think that the country needs the contribution of every individual so that the developmental goals can be quickly realised. For instance, it was heartwarming to see the Opposition Party lending its support in the defence of our territorial dispute with Venezuela which was agreed upon and accepted as settled by both Guyana and Venezuela.

This goes to show that if the Opposition Party decides to support the government in other areas of national development without preconditions, then as a country, we can accelerate our progress. Such policies if implemented would help to reinforce in the psyche of the people that with unity irrespective of our differences we can achieve our dreams and aspirations as one Guyana.

Kind regards,

Marlon Innis
