Guyana Police Force fire shots and tear gas at peaceful protesters on Tuesday, December 06, 2011 morning to break up a protest by a group of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) supporters on Hadfield Street, Georgetown during which retired Guyana Defence Force Chief of Staff, Brigadier Edward Collins and Attorney James were shot and injured. The group gathered for a “March For Social Justice and Economic Boycott” in the streets of Georgetown, Guyana to exercise their democratic rights, they were interrupted and threatened by ranks of the Guyana Police Force who treated them in an inhumane manner. The question remains……will justice ever be served and can we actually live as One People, One Nation, One Destiny?
In Guyana there is demonstrably vast inequality in consumption, income, wealth, access to resources, widespread racial and political discrimination, visible destitution and depredation. There is intolerably high unemployment among the young in particular, high levels of public insecurity, low private safety and security, and, not surprisingly, extensive emigration of Guyanese in search of a better life. Most of these problems facing Guyana are compounded by executive lawlessness. If bad governance has got us where we are today, better governance can make an important contribution to improving our welfare tomorrow. The current Government must, not only be changed but the capacity, for any Government, to repeat such bad behaviour limited constitutionally – forever.
