My first stop is before the president.
From my humble place at the bottom of the barrel of this society, I call upon my president, our president, President David Granger to listen for a moment, to give me a hearing through all the other sounds and messages and development with which he has to deal and from which he must emerge with a vision as to where this country, this beloved Guyana of ours, needs to go.
Not coincidentally, and never untimely, another honourable man of this land, one Mr. Samuel A. A. Hinds, a former president and prime minister no less, spoke earnestly of the need for a start to be made with Truth and Reconciliation.
I call quietly but insistently upon President Granger to do the right thing.
Mr. President, I come today, like never before as a brother, as a follower, as one who is still a believer.
