THE Chronicle editorial is right that curbing fires is imperative. The need for fire awareness and more Fire Service equipment is true. My concern is that more officials and citizens continue to fail in their respective responsibilities to ensure better management and care of their assets. If true, the idea that some hoses had holes is unacceptable. Why the GPL and Fire Service do not establish routine checks of wiring inside and outside of business and housing areas? Where is the coordination between the Water, GPL and Fire Service? Wiring jobs should require approval from these entities. There is a serious lack of monitoring, planning and coordination among too many ministries and agencies in Guyana. These entities sabotage other efforts to bring progress to Guyana. It is time to put the blame more on these people rather than on a President or whole government.
