It’s time to be grounded in our nation’s reality

May 30, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor,

On the evening news they showed the Finance Minister speaking of Guyana being the envy of the world, then shortly afterwards they showed a video of the GDF marching out of sync. If the situation wasn’t serious we all would be laughing. Guyana is on the brink of war and the troops are still struggling to get their act together. If they are not up to it then we need to quickly allow the U.S. to build a base on our border opposite Ankoko Island. The Venezuelans are not playing a game with us to acquire votes for Maduro. They are quite serious about their intentions. Guyana needs to take this situation seriously and properly prepare our troops and strengthen the presence of our allies along the border before an invasion occurs.

Humility will serve us better than speeches filled with over confidence as we navigate this very dangerous situation. Members of the Cabinet seem to be living in an alternate reality. Focus on the reality of the national security situation and the very real threat of climate change. Wasting money on unsustainable initiatives that they think give “envy” is quite childish and irresponsible. It’s time to stop taking unnecessary risks and stop the overspending. Keep the envy under lock and key. Focus on what really matters before it is too late. Renegotiate the oil contract and ensure that we are producing oil within safe limits, while also carrying sufficient insurance coverage. The fact that the government doesn’t know if surpassing the recommended production levels will breach the insurance policy is very telling of the high level of reckless behavior that is beginning to permeate the cabinet’s decision making. It’s time to slow it down and get grounded in our nation’s reality before it’s too late.

Regards,

Jamil Changlee
