CRIME SOLUTIONS

In keeping with the President's leanings toward disciplined activities for the young, be it the cadets program or the national service. It should be extended to include drug addicts, released prisoners and persons with desires of ceasing criminal activities, not incarcerated .

Such individuals should add their names to a list requesting the rehabilitation.

It would be money went spent.

The location should be in the hinterland and well distanced from the Amerindians communities.

In the established settlements, all necessary skills must be thought for survival.

Rather than parceling off the framing lands to foreigners, use it to change the lives of country's citizens.

Invest in their lives and livlihood.

INVESTMENTS & JOB CREATION

I read with interest the delegation heading to New York on the quest of wooing businesses to Guyana.

Within the body of my commentaries, I wrote on Investments and Job Creation on two separate headings.

I am convinced the government is loosing out on excellent opportunities to develop the existing businesses already in Guyana. Strengthened them with expertise and guide their growth.

I am hoping this New York endeavor does not develop as the one held in Canada last year. It was a complete mess. The Go-Invest officers were rude and offensive. That is a constant setback to progress.

These officials, regardless of which government, believes they are power unto their own.

The President should look in from time to time on them. Keep them on their toes.

THE GOOD LIFE

The Good Life.

A noble thought that is achievable.

In the past 50 years, our Presidents have accepted their authority as simply a figure head, cutting ribbons, welcoming potential investors, photo opportunities for visitors and international travels in speech forum.

This trend will never change, unless.

The country needs a working President and citizens needs to hold him to the task, everyday.

 He is the visionary.

And his ministers are charged with his vision.

What we have at this point, is a whole lot of empty rhetoric. Perhaps, a smoke screen.

The conscience of the nation rests on the NGOs. They must move the President's agenda.

Those men and women are Divine Champions, the attribute of God dwells in them-loving kindness, forgiveness, caring for the needy, etc,etc.

We can never escape suffering, but it can be manageable.

It is the time for citizens to manage their government, present and future..
