CAN anyone in Guyana say with confidence what exactly is the agenda of the opposition as it applies to moving the country forward and ensuring that future governance is fair and equitable, in an environment free of fear and better race relations? projects or actions. Ideally, one would like to see equal, if not more emphasis on new or modifications to existing projects or programmes that would give immediate or future relief or benefits to most Guyanese, especially their supporters. Guyana needs an opposition that not only questions government decisions but attempts to influence them through hard negotiations. This is desired by the majority of voters. The opposition must be prepared to show how things could be done better through new proposals and constructive engagements with all parties. The real issues are the ones that affect the security of most Guyanese and their livelihoods and not just benefit a few top politicians or their friends. Is Rohee the real issue, or is it the structure and leadership of the GPF? What happens when the Linden COI fails to find who killed the three people? Will there be plans for diversified development or more protests? Is the opposition actively involved in the outreach 2013 budget talks or waiting to approve or criticise it in Parliament? Just a few of the things many want to know. |
