Dear Editor,
I use this opportunity to share my thoughts and impressions to the people of this great country Guyana – my home.
Nestled between Brazil and Venezuela, Guyana can easily go unnoticed. It has about 750,000 inhabitants and per capita income of $4,300, half the regional average – qualifying it as the hemisphere’s third poorest nation.
However at the moment Guyana also might be the luckiest, having struck huge oil offshore – discovered since 2015. We are the talk of the region. Added to that, according to industry experts, Guyana’s approximate total reserves are at around 2 billion barrels.
With that said, that could make Guyana one of richest Latin American producers in less than a decade. Are we ready and prepared to manage this great precious resource? That could bring the blessings and change for the better.
I challenge us all to band together – Government and Opposition – to purposely, skillfully and honestly put Guyana first and its people.
In closing as I quote these words of Nelson Mandela, “As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom. I knew if I didn’t leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I’d still be in prison”.
Let us unite and build Guyana. “One People, One Nation with One Destiny.”
