Dear Editor,
While the artistic and some infrastructural preparations are laudable, Guyana is not ready for Carifesta X because of endemic discourtesy by public transportation providers, ie, taxi, hire-car and mini-bus operators; garbage pile-ups around the city; numerous vagrants, insane people and drug addicts who roam the streets and sleep there each night; flash-flooding in Georgetown due to short spells of rain, eg, the night of August 13, 2008 that left several city streets flooded; frequent short and long duration blackouts for several weeks now; and nightly gambling around the Stabroek Market area in the full view of police vehicular patrols that often stop but do nothing to stop this illegal activity.
Where is President Jagdeo? Is he not seeing? Is he not being told?
Yours faithfully,
Trevor Van Nooten
