Dear Editor,
Kaieteur News – It is with great admiration I write to highlight government minister’s interests and obsession over the children who perished in the fire disaster last week at Madhia. The authorities’ sudden interests and concerns, outshone everyone else even the churches and pastors who are shepherds of the people in the area; in visiting their flocks. This hyped interest displayed by Government’s paraphernalia making them take the place of church leaders and others, not giving any chance for the local pastors and priests who know their flocks well, to give their followers consoling sentiments by their prayers and presence.
This being said, I would also like to request for government ministers to tone down the rhetoric of camouflaging the tragedy. Editor, please don’t get me wrong, kudos must be given to authorities for acting promptly in assisting the victims generously in all forms. However, turning the tragedy into a show where authorities are projecting themselves as the ‘sole savers and concern over the children’ is getting over exaggerated, as they cover up their weakness. Lacking proper fire and security systems at the secondary school dormitory at Madhia.
As ‘one Guyana’ which is government’s current political rhetoric, we the people must genuinely unite and hold authorities accountable for the lapse in the systems and make sure we see tangible changes be made early as possible so that our hinterland students be safe to resident in dormitories ,as they obtain secondary education in the interior.
