Unity and harmony when dealing with country’s welfare

Dear Editor,
The recent harangues between personnel of the Government and the Opposition must cause us to ask whether these officials realize that they first of all need to satisfy and inform the general populace in our country of the various issues that are affecting our lives.
Some of these issues are: the proposed Demerara River bridge, the oil block concessions, the appointment of chairman of the Elections Commission.
It seems that both parties feel they need to just keep us occupied with their daily wrangling, and either party is unaware of its primary responsibility to fulfill its obligations to the Guyanese public by informing and acting responsibly in relation to any intended project.
I have always expressed that the continual struggle by both sides of this great divide to win favour with the electorate is only contributing to more and more hampering of our national progress; and I hope that they can somehow see the need to act in a more mature and responsible manner, and work with some amount of unity and harmony when they have to deal with issues that affect our country’s welfare.

Yours sincerely,
Roy Paul
