Dear Editor,
Guyana’s experience has shown that professionals working for corrupt governments inevitably get themselves sullied. However, resignations by professionals generally sink society into greater ineptitude. Individuals faced by similar situations should rid themselves of tendencies toward anger, and instead apply themselves within their organization’s rules and regulations to shape the outcomes of their organizations and society for the better. Alternatively, individuals who feel forced to act against what is morally correct may, in the absence of any regulatory or institutional support, do so to improve the governance framework nationally. I have observed elsewhere that intelligence and soldiers have this in common: both are confounded by a lack of moral judgment.
In this modern age of democratic government, we are fortunate that failing governments may be removed at the polls.
Yours faithfully,
Craig Sylvester
