Dear Editor,
Perhaps, it is not too soon to pay closer attention to the new coalition government’s actions so far, even if only ten months in office. Many bloggers seem inclined to overlook what may be somewhat questionable actions by them as either teething pains or not as bad as the previous government or that they must be given time to get things right. Unfortunately, reports on the rational for a 50% raise in pay, reshuffling, renaming and number of Ministries, the surveillance fiasco, absence on details on the new renegotiated financial terms for the airport expansion and new Durban Park project, conflicting statements and blurred areas of Ministerial responsibilities seems less understandable than one would have expected from the new government. Added to this, only one person was charged with wrong doing, with one other individual being sought thru INTERPOL, who by the way, claims his lawyer and government already know his address from papers filed in response to the charges made against him. These two are the only ones charged so far, although there are multiple charges of wrong doing by previous PPP officials.
Another area of interest is exactly how much money was found in the Treasury on assuming office, since we were told it was more or less bare by the new government, although monies are being used with little problems. The voters should want competency, transparency and honesty from their government regardless of party affiliation. The success of the new government may eventually depend on how involved Mr. Granger is in both policies and how it is implemented if Guyana is to get better governance than the Ramotar led old. Too much unfettered delegation to old ideological minded Ministers may become a problem. The PPP must learn from their mistakes and become a better and more responsible opposition than was seen in the past. Their supporters must become more critical and demand better or change their leaders.
Just saying – all parties’ supporters must insist on better representation and governance if their best interest is to be served. It may not be too soon to pay closer attention to the new government’s actions.
