Pageantry is more important than academic degree

Dear Editor,
What happened on the East Coast Demerara Highway clearly illustrates that, in President Granger’s mind, pomp and ceremony and pageantry are more important than an academic degree. That is why students who had to write their final exams at the University of Guyana, Cyril Potter College of Education, CAPE and CSEC had to miss their exams all because this Granger Government has a fatalistic obsession with parade: pomp and ceremony and pageantry.
Shame on ANSA McAL! Shame on the Granger Government! Shame on all the window blinds from the AFC and the WPA in that Granger cabinet, especially Ministers Roopnaraine and Patterson. They collectively did very little to help those children! The weight of the tears of the parents of those students will forever weight on this operationally bankrupt Granger/Nagamootoo Government.
What manner of evil old men will destroy the future of our Guyanese children so that they can build another idle monument that adds absolutely very little economic value to the nation? Aesthetics will not feed the children of Guyana, but a well-trained and matriculated class will. The parents — who had spent thousands of dollars preparing their children for this day – and the affected students themselves will all be voters in 2020, and they ought to remember this day as their day of infamy, come 2020. How more incompetent can this Government be?

Sincerely,
Sase Singh
