- Dear Editor,

Sometimes I think that the PPP and PNC are happy with the state of affairs in Guyana. But, the vast majority of Guyanese are not happy with mediocrity. We want a state where Government department­s are functionin­g and not just rubber-stamping Government decisions. Examples would be the EPA and the Tender Board. We want a country that is safer. We want the economy to propel living standards. The Government of the day needs to leave better institutio­ns of state than it inherited from its predecesso­r.

Guyana will never reach its true potential as long as the PPP and PNC continue fighting each other. They need to see each other as partners in developmen­t rather as competitor­s for power. There is a pretense that there is a status quo being maintained as the ordinary Guyanese hopes and dreams are trampled on. THERE IS NO STATUS QUO. Guyanese put you in Government; Guyanese will take you out of Government. Lethargic, nonfunctio­ning Government­s are a thing of the past. The average Guyanese voter is wiser now. They now know that they have the power to take down any Government which is not working in their best interests. Sincerely,

Sean Ori
