Dear Editor,
The recent attack on the market vendors is nothing but a cowardly attack. It is unconscionable that the hard working people of our country were attacked in such a vulgar display of aggression and theft. Our society must stand together against the perpetrators of this vile act and ensure they are treated as outcasts in our peaceful quest for prosperity and civil order in our nation. People were even insulting His Excellency and his family when he visited the location. Threats of bodily harm against His Excellency must be taken seriously. They have become utterly disrespectful and increasingly dangerous.
Where is the pursuit of law and order, independent of race or political affiliation? It is clearly lacking, and the GPF needs urgent reform and restructuring to reflect those whom they serve. As the President said, perpetrators are trying to derail the country. Such aggression should not be tolerated! There is no place for it in a One Guyana agenda. The CRG calls on the government to conduct a COI into these heinous acts, and to ensure that the perpetrators are dealt with accordingly within the limits of the laws of our land. This is very similar to the robbery and destruction carried out during election protests. The modus operandi of these acts are very similar.
Sincerely,
Jamil Changlee
Chairman
The Cooperative
Republicans of Guyana
