What you do, is as important as the tone you set, in governance. That said the optics, regardless of the origins in the previous PPP/C Administrations, do not look good for the current government. As much as there is angst towards the PPP/C regimes past and the sincerity of the incoming government, its first 100 days set the tone for its 5-year life. Thus far the security situation does not look promising.
Yes, it takes a while to correct the deficiencies in the physical infrastructure (missing louvres in windows, inadequate AC and paper and inefficiencies in responses to on-going criminal activities where the police force is concerned). However the government has to start taking measures and placing emphasis to let the public know it is moving in the right direction.
It is unfortunate that the release of the 60 or so incarcerated felons into the general populace without a half-way house or a monitored national service. This is not the kind of tone that helps. [As a reference point, Obama's actions on the war-on-drugs incarceration is sensible BTW]. It is just like when the Jagan 1992 - 97 government kept on some suspect leaders of law enforcement.
There are more viewpoints I'm sure. There can be analyses that point to a culture of bribes and inefficiencies (don't care attitude and slow responses) that will take a generation, etc., but what needs to be shown is that you are dead serious about crime in Guyana. So far this Administration has a lot of catching up to do.
