Dear Editor
Oil wealth, less than nine hundred thousand people, sugar, rice, vegetables, ground provisions, countless species of fish in our waters and the soil is so rich if you spit food would grow, yet the cost of living is so high people are going hungry. The regime does not care about citizens. This is scandalous and something must be done to make the PPP government understand that ‘dis time nah lang time’. The world is laughing at us. In the abundance of food we produce bountifully, our children are going hungry and our hospitals are without medical supplies. Yet, our priority is a government sponsored Stink and Dutty wine down.
There is a saying, ‘people get the government they deserve’. And equally a vision less people will suffer in a world of plenty. We have wild hogs, wild cows and wild this and that in our jungles but Guyanese are rushing to buy foreign meats and goods in our supermarkets. Are we destined to be a cursed people? Everyone dancing to their own tune when it comes to their livelihood but gather in their thousands together to embrace lawlessness. We must shoulder some of the blame too. The regime can only get away with carving out our suffering if we accept such and allow them to reign with rains of poverty and want. Meanwhile the opposition is broke, lethargic and disunited!
Sincerely,
