Dear Editor,
I am not surprised, but as expected, quite angry. I have seen a number of abysmal streaks, but over the last two weeks, these have become the norm here in Guyana.
I went to the new housing scheme in Diamond, and had to suffer immensely because the PPP were having their congress. They made ample preparations for their comfort, but to the displeasure and detriment of all and sundry.
The detour road was a slush trail, as now all the roads in the village are known for their craters. Vehicles were not allowed to drive in front of the school, and this created time wasting. The scene resembled a Georgetown one when Parliament is in session.
This in fact happened last Friday. I wonder if in other countries, when the ruling parties have to execute either governmental or personal duties, if these occurrences take place. Can someone enlighten me?
The second thing that really irked me was the call in “Guyana Health Watch” night on NCN Channel 11 and VOG. The top brass himself, Mr. CEO was ‘axing’, yes ‘axing’, the public to call in with their questions.
Then at the end, he ‘tank’ them for calling. Well, for the top man at NCN, the example you set and the standards you adhere to are of such, that anything goes. I ask daily if you operatives have the fortitude to listen to yourselves? I hear daily, the NCN classified which says ‘vay-hay-kle’ and now there is one that says ‘kyaravan.’ This one should be okay, cause Guyanese drive ‘kyars.’
Finally, the 98.1 Hot FM morning show should do with reconsidering, and find a new host. It is a wake up show, and not a place for lullabies. The host is irksome, and keeps saying ‘O Yes’ after every song. He should also learn to say his ‘thr’ words for he makes theat sound with two syllables. It is actually one.
By the way, Guyana should implement laws and enforce them too when it comes to animals on the roads.
Too many animals are being hurt or killed. It is time Guyana protect the animals. Drivers should also be schooled on how to prevent hitting innocent animals.
After all, Guyanese share the road with them day and night. Guyanese drive while these loving animals have to cavort, feed and then sleep on these same roads.
