Do you find it rather disheartening that the decision makers in Guyana found the time to tee off on us? I make this golf allusion because I feel that I was hit in the head with a golf club. Where and when do our policy makers find the Time, Effort, and Energy to plunge the tax-paying citizens into a loan for a panopticon? Here we are paying, at interest mind you, for a system to look at our every movement. More disconcerting is the reality that seemingly brilliant minds pass it off as a Safe City Surveillance Systems, which makes this situation even more of an eye pass.
Who made the decision that we need a surveillance system? Seems to me that in every neighbourhood in Georgetown and elsewhere we need the grass cut at least bi-weekly, the gutters cleared and flowing, and the traffic lights coordinated and working. Is that too much to ask for or is $37.6M too much for such services we meagre peasants need? Perhaps providing the citizens a sense of order may lead to a sense of belonging, which in turn may lead to community building. With community building, we need not resort to foreign governments to provide the building blocks of a panopticon.
My dear editor, I wonder if we the citizens pool our money and mount cameras in the offices of the decision makers would that bring a balance of justice?
In invisible chains,
