Dear Editor,
I would like to dwell on a single statement of importance in a letter from Mr. Hinds regarding that “Minister Broomes incident is a clear case of official bullying of powerless citizens.”
Mr. Hinds states that, “I am very certain that had she been a private citizen, she would have handled the matter differently”. I disagree with Mr. Hinds.
I am pretty sure that she has bullied others as a private citizen even when she was not decorated with ministerial powers. It is only by chance that Ms. Broomes was caught on tape bullying her victims that the nation had a chance to see what she is like.
We all know of private citizens who bully others. Only just a few days ago, citizens in Enmore on the East Coast of Demerara were bullied by private citizens to the point where their personal properties like their gas range, clothing, furniture and other valuables, were taken from their homes and thrown into the streets. The CCTV tape rescued these innocent victims.
Ms. Broomes and the Enmore bullies have got to share poor values. Bullying is a big problem for Guyana. Because of cruelty and lack of empathy, bullies can’t feel the pain of another human being.
Of course, Ms Broomes and the Enmore bullies will continue to hurt others if they are not held accountable.
Bullying is an abnormal behaviour, which is largely a product of ignorance. Bullies evaluate their victims as powerless based on a wide range of stereotypes about – ethnicity/race, sexual orientation, physical stature, social status, religion, culture and job status among others.
In addition, in spite of such dysfunction by a Government Minister, President Granger remains silent and he shows no indication of firing Ms. Broomes. What bullies!
Sincerely,
Annie Baliram
