No positive step has been taken to eradicate this ... - Kaieteur News

Dear Editor,
I read with great interest the article that appeared in your newspaper on June 2, 2013 and I totally agree with the comments made by the author Gabriel Lall, and he should be commended for his excellent work. I have been making the same observation time and time again, but nothing significantly is being done by the government and to a lesser extent by the opposition forces to deal with the racial issue which is the root of most of the problems in the country.
Instead of the government putting machinery in place with competent and unbias personnel to tackle the problem in race relation, they seem to focus on placing incompetent party supporters in their positions. I agree with the comments made by the Speaker of the National Assembly, Raphal Trotman that ?our colonial predecessors effectively manipulated and used the issue of race and competition and rivalry to divide the Government. However, while we are not guilty of starting this rivalry, we are certainly to be condemned for continuing it?
So true, the PNC during its 28 years in administration has failed to address the burning problem and the PPPC in its 22 years is not doing better ? maybe totally ignoring the issue.
Perhaps from time to time comments have been made by leaders on both sides of the political divide about the conflict, but no positive step has been taken to eradicate this cancer in our society.
The country has recently celebrated its 47th anniversary of independence from colonial rule, but it seems as if we are still unable to solve our problems. What a shame.
The government should take the lead in this regard; inviting the opposition, the Council of Churches, all other religious organizations, the Chamber of Commerce, the trade unions, and other organizations to address the burning issue.
It might surprise some readers, the problem has spilled over in other Caribbean countries where a large number of?Guyanese live. I was asked a few years ago in one of the islands to intervene in a racial rivalry. It was very embarrassing, but it was solved to a certain extent.
