Dear Editor,
I am writing concerning the frequency of accidents on Guyana’s rivers and the heavy loss of life resulting from these accidents.
You reporters have carried the stories but neither the Ministry of Public Works nor Minister Benn has made any positive statements as to the cause of these accidents or what is being done to reduce or eliminate loss of life on our rivers.
This seems to be a clear case of “say nothing, do nothing” and the problem will go away.
It will not go away until the Minister or his officers do something about it.
The Ministry is obviously failing in its duty to regulate the waterways and to ensure that the rules are observed and that those responsible for the deaths are brought to justice. It is the Ministry of Public Works and other agencies that report to the Minister that have the responsibility for safety on our waterways.
I call on Minister Benn to do his duty to reduce the loss of life on Guyana’s rivers and I call on the President to look carefully at the performance of his Ministers.
Presidents are elected for a fixed time but a Minister could be let o at any time if he si not doing his job.
Name Withheld
