Dear Editor,
Because of the election campaign, I have chosen not to write letters to the editor while it lasts. Regardless of which party wins I wish my fellow Guyanese at home the best possible outcome and an electoral process of peace and fairness.
Well ahead of the election date, however, I give notice that if I am on the planet and able after the general elections, and regardless of the outcome, I hope to raise publicly concerns along these lines:
1. A political framework in which ethnic self respect and increasing national unity and solidarity are possible.
2. Outstanding issues relating to the vexed but stubborn question of the consequences of State related crimes
3. The problem of commissions of inquiry as a public ritual
4. The unhappy state of road traffic
5. The killing of citizens in their homes
6. The process by which public lands were the property of Guyanese inhabitants or of self- established communities of the 1840s but ended up in the possession of a small number of highly privileged persons with access to powerful decision makers.
Yours faithfully,
Eusi Kwayana
