KBOS, who would have thought that I would be attacked, by YOU, for agreeing with YOUR blog?…… how amusing.

It’s obvious that I am not the one in need of comprehension after all.

Should I have need to comment to your blogs I’ll remember to break down my missive to the kindergarden level in order to avoid future misunderstandings between us…………………… regards.

Have you lost your mind equating Jagdeo to Obama???????

GT Peoples, crime is everywhere just global in scope. I lived for 25 years in the USA behind the protection of the home alarm companies. For 5 years I live in the hotbed of crime in Jamaica AND???? Grilles do not protect. You just use de third eye.

Enjoy your little lives for that is all oonu have.

Fire that incompetent minister.
No mercy for the merciless.

Take them, they may still have a good time. And plus there are other Brazilians, in GT. Guyana may not be perfect but it is still our MOTHER LAND. And to you I say, ENJOY your vacation.

I agree with Soesdyke. My vote is for anyone, that’s for ALL the people! I personally dislike the way Burnham ruled Guyana, but it’s apparent that there is a revenge mind-state by the ruling party, for all that LFSB did. Guyana does not need racial exclusion. Guyana needs a fair democratic by-partisan process!
When think of Barack Obama, I think of the old forgotten saying: All for one, one for all.

The criminals who are deported from the US and elsewhere know how to remove the electronic devices and put them on cats and dogs that remain close to home to beat the detection devices, plus don,t think Guyana has that kind of money to spend this way.

you might have to buy me a house lambada,the burnham era failed when they were in power(pnc) which was a spin off from the ppp, because most of the opportunities which are available now were not there in that era , the hoyte era also failed (pnc)although we did see some changes(lifting of the foreign goods ban) and also the 100% increse in wages to the public secter not forgetting the death penalty being inposed on the kick-down-the-door bandits, then presently the visionless ppp govt, who borrowed most of the politics of the pnc, now there is not another party who unfortunatly has had the chance to rule guyana, so it is wrong in a particular sence to say that there is no other party better than the visionless ppp govt because the other parties were prevented or not given a chance to rule and further i say not.

Amarie i agree with u but its not just the national service …..in the USA here on the streets u see army officers stopping youths in tryin to recuit them to join ….in guyana the can do the same cause our borders needs protection ….u just need some intellgent officers to encourage them to join …..we can even start them off from they schools so that when the do leave school they have an aim on what to they goin to be or do for their future …..just take a look of the age of some of these criminals …..some of these youths are been rough up innocently by the JS that turn them into harden criminals….these kids needs help ……Mr commissioner….Mr brigadier put ur men out there for 6 months and u will see the difference it makes …..bosses sits back and gives orders and thinks everything is fine …..but a leader works along to get things done …..so its better to be a leader than to be a boss

Please, don’t take them. If you are brave enough to go to Guyana, fine. But for the love of God, leave your friends out of it. You will, among other things, be embarrassing yourself. Take them to St. Lucia. I love my country, but I won’t take anyone there, at this time.

Hey genius you need to check what you just wrote. You basically reiterated what I just said. You sound like you are in need of comprehension. For your info I did read it.

The police force continues to operate as it did in the 50’s and 60’s. Firstly, recruitment. the examination and interview process should be less rigerous for a two year period. Doing this will provide the force with agreater pool from which to draw potential policemen/women. These women/women will train for the first three months in basic policing and report writing. At the end of the three month period the potential policemen/women will write an examination based on their knowledge of the past months. Those who fail the exam will not be retained, but can apply again. Currently, this is done in the GPH for nurse trainees. I interviewed many young men in three villages and all of them longed for the chance to serve,but were detered by the entrance exam. I am positive that among those village boys who were not recruited, were potential leaders in the force if they were given a chance to serve.
Crime will forever be a part of any community,but the sucess or failure of any crime fighting body is their involvement in really understanding the issues that are responsible for a surge in crime. This brings me to my second point, especially as it relates to crime in Guyana. We can’t negate the stats, but try to understand their genisis. In Guyana classism is so rampant that many who want to work and are offered jobs think that accepting a particular job diminishes their status in society. For example, a young man offered a job to sweep a store in Regent street will refuse that job. If however, he is offered the same job in any ministry of the Government, he will accept it, even at a lower salary. The reason is, at the end of the day he can tell his friends that he is working at a particular ministry. Status.
The solution, therefore, is that we can minimize or eliminate the mind-set of these “hopeless” young people who turn to crime, by letting them know that every job is significant to the growth and development of the country. These same young men/women who are demonized by the police and others as hopeless migrate and become very productive. Why? Because they are given a chance to grow.
The Police is planning a Christmas campaign that will again focused on the “hopeless”. No different now than it was in the 60’s. ISNM
