City drains in disastrous state

Dear Editor,
As I drive around the city I can see almost every drain, trench and canal either silted-up to the extent that when it rains it will not be able to store any real amount of water or they are so over-grown with grass and bush and plastic that both the flow and storage of water are prevented.

As I see it, there is a disaster waiting to happen unless immediate steps are taken to remedy the situation before the rainy season sets in.
Yours faithfully,
Randolph Joseph

All you guys living in that dump call Georgetown are to be blamed. Imagine,they can’t even have a local govt reform,Minister Benn walking around with his big stick harassing the council and no one says anything.Well,I am sorry for you people,drowning will be the cause of your death due to stupidity and inaction.

Ah Randolph. I see your point.You are a good citizen.Observant,deducing that certain hings need to be done.There is no wrong about that. In fact,you should be commended. By the Mayor.However,to jolt you back to reality Randolph,do you know where you are?Yes you Randolph.You heard me right? Are you aware of where you are right now? Well,you are still in Guyana.Now that you are back down on the ground ,you know how thing are done there.I don’t have to tell you.It might sound harsh,but this is what you gotta do boy.Get a sholvel Randolph, or it wouldn’t be done. That same thing you are talking about.Cheers..
