I have been advocating for the Pomeroon River Outposts for over a decade. Every time I write my article calling on the authorities involved to give us answers to our questions, we wait for years for a response. We need strong leadership in the area of policing; many of the leaders are good representatives of the liquor bars.
The patrols, a/k “black clothes” are beggars on the public roads. Drivers can attest to this since many are asked to leave something. Either they don’t get to eat or don’t have money to buy to eat. It is disgusting to see public officers behave in this manner. This does not augur well for the future of our country.
If something is not done soon to deal with these types of attitude and behaviours of our people, I can see dark days ahead. I am in business and deals with all types of people from various levels of our society, so I have the feel of what is taking place on the ground.
I once again wish to thank the Government of Guyana for initiating the project to build the outposts for the Pomeroon River. The people of the Pomeroon can breathe a different air when this is done, but that’s not the end of it; the customs department has to do its part along with the security forces to curb trafficking of drugs, guns, fuel and other items illegal entering our region and country as a whole.
