Doll House in Guyana

Nov 25, 2020 Letters

Dear Editor,

Ms. Audreyanna Thomas, in her letter to Kaieteur News on 24th Nov. 2020, heading Jagdeo, PPP/C playing Doll House with Guyana, is vociferous in putting down Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo and the PPP/C Party that has only ascended to government a mere four months and whose challenge is to now clean up one helluva mess left by the incompetent and corrupt APNU/PNC Government. This is no easy task considering they inherited an almost bankrupt economy in this Covid-19 Pandemic. Yet, Ms. Thomas seems to live in a world created by Merlin the Magician where the mere waving of a magic wand fixes all that ails this country, in the blink of an eye! Not being able to do so instantly is a failure in your opinion.
Many of those of a certain political persuasion love to vilify Vice President Jagdeo because he stands out as someone who is a thorn in the side of the rigging APNU/PNC cabal; he outmanoeuvred and made fools of them throughout the 2020 Elections and what followed afterwards. To those of you whose vociferous disapproval of our Vice President can be seen in this Newspaper and elsewhere, let me remind you, this Government and its Vice President have the support of the silent majority of this nation and the Guyanese Diaspora, like it or not, they have a mandate to govern and make decisions that are in the best interest of all Guyanese.
For five years, while this country suffered under an incompetent and corrupt APNU/PNC Government, you remained silent only to now emerge from the shadows to spew hatred and rancour. Your Party had a chance to do right between 2015 and 2020, instead, they turned out to be one big disappointment, interested in only helping themselves and not the people.
The evil and incompetence of your Party’s leaders were recently on display when they used the tragic murder of the Henry boys to create racial strife and mayhem.
Ms. Thomas is correct on one thing; Guyana needs a professional Public Service and in its current state, is in need of a great makeover. It cannot remain status quo. It is my belief the qualification of each and every Public Servant must be examined by this Government and those not suitably qualified for the job must be reassigned or jettisoned.
Dr. Mark Bynoe who has no qualifications in Energy cannot be in charge of Energy. Like it or not, I encourage my government to create a Public Service based on qualification and ability, represented by people from all races in our multiracial population. Let me remind you of an old saying “Rome was not built in a day.”

Yours truly,
Dennis Balgobin
