Some observations around Georgetown

Dear Editor

I am highlighting some observations from my Christmas holidays with a genuine concern for my country, all my people, and animals, for the greater good.

Bourda Market:  The surrounding is terrible with rotted piled up garbage in trenches, gutters and on roads. This is rooted from a segment of culture that partakes in it as normal. This shouldn’t excuse that people can change from insanitary to practicing proper environmental hygiene. When they see tons of garbage, they will add to it. Authorities, please clean up the environ; place many garbage bins for people to cultivate proper standards; place sign boards about cleanliness and Godliness; give these people a reason and purpose to learn rather than ignoring them. Demolish this dilapidated and raggedy market and erect a modern sheltered facility; give these vendors proper dwellings to sell their bountiful harvest.

CJIA: Editor it is my impartial opinion that our national airport be renamed Guyana International Airport. It will reflect our diverse people and exhibit country of vibrancy, excitement and enthusiasm in our vast tropical landscape.

Horse-drawn Carts: it is unforgivable that authorities will not provide an alternative livelihood for cart holders who burden horses with battered and painful injured hoofs, to pull heavy loads of cement and wood daily in sweltering heat. We must empathize and have compassion for animals by abolishing horse drawn carts. Editor, other issues are: maddening and suffocating loud noise some call music felt on the seawall; gridlock and chaotic road traffic, all of which is old news, all of which, I wouldn’t burn my bridge.

Regards,

Z. Williams
