Building economically-strong, powerful nation

Dear Editor,
On the 55th Anniversary of our Independence, I honour and respect the theme, “Building an economically strong and powerful nation”. IT is a fit and proper way to herald our Independence, as it ushers in a sense of pride and purpose for us all as a nation, that we can now stand on the path of a great and new tomorrow. As an independent people, we boldly pursue our goal of economic freedom and development.
Now our Government have set the tone for development, in that they have taken the lead in that process with sound visionary leadership. We have our goal in sight, it is now left to us as a people to get on board to make that dream a reality. There is no doubt that we are in good hands as we forge ahead together. Team PPP/C, together with the people of this great fledgling nation, we can, we must, we will reach for success as the emerging Third World powerhouse.
The call is also made for unity as we move forward together. A land of six peoples with the greatest possibilities for social cohesion to showcase to the region and the wider world on a whole a nation of peoples working together in peaceful harmony and progressive unity. Together we can make it happen.
Finally, as we continuously move forward, we must not forget those who sought to divide us, those who stood up against our hard-fought democracy, and are still belligerent about it. We will not forget those few who set up a diabolical plot to steal our democracy and our ability to choose who governs us. We will not forget those who stood in the path of freedom, peace and progress. We remember those five long months of nerve-wracking agony, waiting to finally see the dawn of a new day. We welcome this new-found freedom with open arms.
Therefore, as responsible citizens, we call for justice to be served. We would like those so stained in the putrid mire of electoral fraud to be rooted out of mainstream society, never to raise the ugly head again.
We are calling on the justice system to ensure that justice is served swiftly and condignly, as we separate ourselves from such demonic forces. Long live an independent Guyana!

Respectfully,
Neil Adams
