Dear Editor,
There are a number of issues that need to be addressed by the democratically-elected PPP/C Government of President Irfaan Ali.
1) Meeting with the Leader of the main Opposition as is constitutionally required.
2) Meeting with the unions in negotiating wages as is constitutionally required.
3) Renegotiation of the Exxon-Mobil/Guyana oil contract so that there are more benefits for Guyanese.
4) Re-examine what is termed cash transfers to citizens from Guyana’s oil money.
5) Better public consultations on proposed national projects.
6) Strengthen the work of the Auditor General – better checks and balances needed.
7) Strengthen the work of the EPA.
8) Strengthen the work of the Tender Board as it seems, together with the EPA, as non-functioning.
9) Improve the security of citizens.
10) Free up state media by privatising NCN and Guyana Chronicle.
These are 10 things that needs urgent attention. The list is by no means exhaustive.
Yours faithfully,
Sean Ori
