What Guyanese want in 2025 is simple: a responsible, trustworthy, caring, and responsive government

Apr 02, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor

What Guyanese want in 2025 is simple: a responsible, trustworthy, caring, and responsive government — one that governs with equity, transparency, and a firm commitment to the rule of law. The public’s growing sympathy for figures like the Mohammed’s isn’t blind loyalty — it reflects a hunger for alternatives and widespread dissatisfaction with how this country is being managed.

After nearly three decades leading Parliament and Cabinet, the PPP government appears increasingly disconnected from the lived realities of working-class Guyanese — whether they be Afro-Guyanese, Indo-Guyanese, Amerindian, Chinese, mixed-race, women, men, or youth. This disconnection is glaring in the government’s handling of the recent teachers’ strike, where the call for fairness was met not with humility or dialogue, but with hostility.

It’s evident in the unresolved grief surrounding the Mahdia dormitory tragedy — a failure of state protection under the current Minister’s watch. It is evident in how the government mishandled cries of teachers for better wages and working conditions. It shows in the visibly deteriorating infrastructure, where poorly constructed roads remain the norm, and in the sugar belt strategy that keeps communities economically tethered rather than economically empowered. Crime continues to be high and driving insecurity, reckless driving is left unchecked, and whispers persist about the use of state agencies to discredit perceived political threats.

Ask any ten people in those crowds and I’ll bet you all ten will say the same thing: they want a government that listens, serves all citizens fairly, and doesn’t treat service delivery like a reward for political allegiance. This country doesn’t need another selectively administered promise or another expensive project that enriches a few — like the Berbice Bridge deal, the failed Skeldon sugar factory, or the natural gas pipeline poised to repeat the same mistakes.

Guyanese remember the PPP promised to renegotiate the Exxon deal, but instead, the government turned around and began paying the company’s taxes – imagine that!

This generation is not easily swayed by state media spin. We remember the PPP likely lost the 2012 elections, definitively lost in 2015, and may well have lost again in 2020 but for foreign interference, diplomatic pressure, and big oil interests. That’s arguably three losses in a row.

I repeat even louder, what Guyanese want in 2025 is simple: a responsible, trustworthy, caring, and responsive government — one that governs with equity, transparency, and a firm commitment to the rule of law.

Sincerely,

C. A. Singh
