Dear Editor,
Where else in the world do you find a government taking an area set aside for a children’s playground and turning it into house lots for the children of members of the ruling party? Only in Guyana can things like this happen.
In Area ‘Q’ Turkeyen, just east of the CARICOM Complex, residents of the community were extremely surprised when workers from the lands and survey department turned up one day at the playground and started driving markers into the ground. Upon inquiry, residents were told that the area has been earmarked for 12 house lots.
In this day and age when our youths are turning to drugs and other non-productive activities, one would have though that much emphasis would have been placed on creating and enhancing sport facilities to keep our young people engaged in meaningful pastimes. Maybe playgrounds are a thing of the past in this dog eat dog country that we now live in.
So instead of assisting the residents of Turkeyen Area ‘Q’ to develop the playground, the government saw it fit instead to turn this green area into a concrete jungle.
This shameless act must not be allowed to happen. Shame on you President Jagdeo and the PPP party for perpetrating this unthinkable act.
Bryan Mackintosh
LISTEN HOW JAGDEO WILL MAKE ALL GUYANESE RICH!!!
