Parties should post short bios of candidates on their lists

Dear Editor,

The Youth Movement of Guyana would like to congratulate all parties contesting the upcoming general elections; the democratic process is well served by the participation of diverse political groups.

The YMG would like to invite all contesting political parties to post short biographies (100 words) of every candidate on their respective lists; we are of the opinion this would add to the knowledge of the voters as we make the important decision to place our mark based on information and facts.

We would urge voters to seek confirmation from all nominees that they will make full declarations to the Integrity Commission if elected to serve, and further that they will agree to those declarations being cross referenced with their respective tax returns for the last seven years.

We all want a Guyana free from corruption so let us ask those who seek our vote to make a real commitment to service of country and not self. Talk is cheap and promises are just that; these proposed actions are real and no honest person should have any issue with compliance.

 

Yours faithfully,
Robin Singh
