Clear thinking, dispassionate reasoning is the fundamental issue before Guyana if we are together to build the country into a modern nation.

What is so difficult to believe that every living Guyanese share the view of living in peaceful reparation towards economic and social development?
But of all the recent events, the continuous confrontation highlighted by principles devoted to making a united thrust impossible certainly contributes to a feeling of pessimism. However, early in the new year we will be given another opportunity to correct past errors. We have an intelligent electorate capable of turning the untenable realism of a minority parliamentary government.
The will and the determination to overcome all obstacles, which has kept us for far too many years in a state of conflict; it is time to move on permanently, our combined intelligence will point the way forward. We must relentlessly with vigour ensure we leave behind those who are bent on pursuing mischief. The state of equanimity must prevail. Victory over those with evil intentions must be left behind.
A final question must be asked: Quite dispassionately the reasoning tells me that other side has no sensible plans for the future of this country.
