Dear Editor,
If President Ali is not already aware that there are many considerate and cooperative Guyanese who are fearful to publicly voice their opinions about the Government’s performance, for fear that they eventually may be ‘run off the road’, please let this be a note to him
Critical observations are not only coming from civic minded individuals, but also from loyal members and long-time supporters of the PPP/C who do so privately. Most of the public comments/criticisms seem to be genuinely intended to help to get better results for the country.
The fear of talking openly should not be accepted as the ‘way of living’ in Guyana… especially not in a country that boasts about its democracy. President Ali should listen to, and encourage critics to play their role in Guyana’s future.
At twelve years old I was told that the friends who continue to praise me when they know that I am wrong, are not my friends. Those who point to my errors will make me a better person. I never felt insulted nor have I regretted receiving that bit of wisdom.
