I wish to respond to an article published in the Chronicle Newspaper in relation to the Suddie Car Park within the Riverstown/Annandale Neighbourhood Democratic Council and written by Mr. Archie W. Cordis, Councillor for the Alliance for Change at the regional level.
From information and the general public, Mr. Cordis vision is very poor and it is cheap thinking substandard politics for the AFC to build any political mileage from scattered imagination.
During the initial stages of the construction of the car park all the stakeholders were involved and that site was accepted and at no time anyone mentioned any other site.
The car park is built in a way which will allow a smooth and free movement of vehicles, pedestrians from both sides of the hospital compound from Onderneeming on the south by access of the main road and by the J.P Santos road leading to the eastern side of the institution which commuters, cars and buses can use the main road to the entrance of the hospital or use the police station eastern road.
Mr. Cordis has some itches with the NDC, since he was involved in the dispute of stalls at the Suddie Market and because of his bias attitude toward the positives of the Region Two Administration and his shallow thinking he is always negative in any presentation.
Mr. Cordis is fully aware of the congestion and lawlessness where cars used to be parked on both sides on the main road leading to the main access road to the hospital gates.
I appreciate that Mr. Cordis is in sympathy for the old people and in all my movements around Suddie community I have never seen any persons of old age walking any long distance from or to the hospital since hire cars and buses are traversing from all gates of the hospital with commuters and patients at any hour of the day or night.
With regards to the Suddie Post Office building given to a businessman it is totally false and cheap propaganda by the AFC councillor who knows fully well that the Guyana Post Office Corporation has leased that building to the businessman who has done renovations on the building with an agreement between both parties where the businessman is paying a monthly fee, so when a “catch net throw into a trench that net cannot bring up water it will bring up fishes.”
