IT IS THE GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN LAW AND ORDER
Dear Editor,
I began reading the SN article (March 8) which reported that
President Jagdeo said that: "People who steal guns today would get
them freely if government changes."
The President's statements are an indictment of his inability to do
anything about the crime situation, yet in the next breath, he asks
citizens to vote to ensure that the PPP stays in power. What for, to
allow the country to remain ungovernable; for drug lords to take
over the country and for gang wars to break out ever so often in
which anyone can become collateral damage.
We are being asked to vote for a President who recognizes that the
opposition would do anything to get back into power, while he looks
on haplessly and calls on citizens to do something about it. Wake up
Mr Jagdeo. You were elected to office to protect the nation, not to
seek protection of your presidency from the nation.
It is amazing that the President would even refer to the attack on
the PPP Congress in 2003. Were the perpetrators ever found and
brought to justice? No, yet the President expects citizens to cast
their ballots for the PPP.
Mr President, recognize one thing. The opposition does not need to
get into office to give people guns. Your administration is so weak
that your inability to manage the security institutions creates an
environment for guns to be available for the taking. What is the
difference then in who is in office?
You say the opposition visit bandits in Buxton. True. But as head of
state and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, you fraternize
with persons of dubious character and nefarious business activities.
What example have you set? As if the recent drug report is not damning enough.
Mr President, it is not just the PNCR who have to answer to the
ordinary citizens of Buxton and Agricola for failing to provide an
environment for their safety. You hold that title as Commander in
Chief of the Armed Forces and Minister of Defence and you have
failed in your duties.
Yours faithfully,
K Singh
