AGAIN we read of piracy attacks. Are we waiting for a specific person like the President, a minister or some other agency or public official to take some action to stop or reduce these attacks? The question Guyanese seem unwilling to ask is – Where are the Coast Guard, GDF, GPF Heads and Home Affairs Minister who may(?) have the most direct responsibility in these cases?  What steps were taken to reduce these attacks over the years and how are they working and if not, why not? Sounds like the Home Affairs Minister only has the power to suggest or complain and not implement the actions required.
My point once again is why are the officials directly responsible for a specific area not doing more with existing resources to address problems, instead of always waiting for something or someone to act.
We do not need reactive or inactive officials, we need people who can be innovative and utilise whatever resources are available to their maximum advantage, while waiting for additional resources. Good officials are in short supply, indeed. The bad simply contribute to the problem.
