Dear Editor,
First, when the new law school is constructed and fully functional, would students need additional or advance training outside of Guyana? And two, would the Guyana law school cater for foreign students seeking training here? Also, is the government of Guyana planning on importing law professors to teach our local students or are there enough qualified persons to fill that? Further, out of concern, would our graduate law students be able to practice law outside of Guyana?
Editor, like I have said before, Guyanese have great ideas of pushing Guyana forward but we keep seeing a stifling situation when it comes to Guyana fully cementing her economic and financial strength with her other Caribbean competitors. Yes, we have oil now but we are still considered a poor, third world country. And again we may have oil yet we are still borrowing monies to foot construction projects. Editor, do we even have a national disaster fund in the event of an oil spill or any major disaster?
Both the government of the day and the opposition parties need to sit and formulate strategic plans to move Guyana forward especially if there is a plan to eradicate poverty and to make the day-to-day living comfortable for all Guyanese. I know I have strayed away from my initial concern but if someone or everyone does not get involved in conversations to steer and is willing to work to see Guyana being firmly positioned economically we would all suffer the same fate later.
Editor, what is more worrying is that our children would have to offset the heavy tax bill when we are all called up to yonder God forbid. And on this note I would like to wish my fellow Guyanese a Happy Christmas and a successful 2026.
