DEAR EDITOR,
The commendable gesture by His Excellency President David Granger in restoring the Independence Arch, on Brickdam, upon assuming office, a day after his swearing-in ceremony, indeed deserves the highest praise by the nation. Primarily for his intervention and also the various firms that played a meaningful role, in sprucing up the surrounding areas.
Readily coming to mind are B.K International Inc. and Ming’s Products & Services along with other citizens/companies too numerous to mention.
With the observance of our nation’s 49th Independence Anniversary on May 26th, 2015 at the aforementioned venue, of significance was the flag–raising ceremony. However, we should not forget the dismantling of the arch on the Public Road, in the vicinity of First Street, Alexander Village, years ago to facilitate a four-lane carriageway. Upon completion, the arch was never replaced. As such it should be of utmost priority for this national landmark to be restored at the earliest opportunity. Of course reconstruction/ fabrication would have to be worked out within a budgetary framework. Since there are numerous business interests in proximity, they all can be approached for a contribution financially or in terms of providing machinery. Civic-minded citizens from the surrounding areas can contribute voluntary labour and possibly snacks/beverages.
In closing, permanent nightly guards remain a prerequisite against vandalism and encroachment by vagrants. This humanitarian and national gesture should be accorded to all national and historical artifacts throughout Guyana.
