Dear Editor,

The crimes which have taken place during the period since the PPP/C has been in office are too numerous to mention – too many massacres for a small population like that of Guyana. Yet, the regime seems bent on hoodwinking the nation on almost everything. In the end, photos, taped conversations and videos will reveal the truth – only time will tell. Finally, Mr Editor, our youths have no future under this PPP regime. Too many of our youths are being transformed into criminals; this trend must not be allowed to continue. Enough is enough.

Yours faithfully,
Mark Benschop

    Well said Mark

  2. BOEING777 CANADA says:

    Mark, this regime does not give one iota or concern themselves with what’s happening to the youth of today.

    Look a the crime being committed by “kids” 15 years or less.

    This is what Guyana’s future will be like. May God help the people!!!

    I disagree Mr. Benschop. Our youths do have a bright future in this nation. However, it will not come as a result of the PPP/C, PNCR-1G, AFC or any other political party. It will only come when they put their lives and hopes in the hands of the God who has revealed himself and undying love for us, in the Holy Bible.

      Oh please spare us your religious rhetoric!
      The kids see the what the drug barons are doing and want to emulate the same.
      They see a corrupt regime and therefore, have no respect for the law under this regime.
      It is common knowledge that this regime is liked with persons of questionable financial means. The Roger Khan saga is evidence of this.
      The youths want easy money, so they turn to guns, drug dealings and all the criminal acts that have flourished under this regime.

    …… ” the 15 year olds ” who commit these unspeakably horrendous crimes,,,, have their parents minds been morphed into PPP thinking by regimented force ?
    benschop,, ure one whose behavior in society is nothing to discuss at the dinner table ,, where family gathers ,, rather its a dismal and an open sore to comment on ur behavior,, and for u to make comments abt failure of the PPP,, leaves me to say,, ” CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME “………. ure no role model to the youths u speak so concerned abt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    i read this many decades ago ” there is so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best ,, that it is difficult to tell who amongst us ought to reform the rest of us ” !!!!!!
