Our local leaders: fit to follow?

Russia/Ukraine: basic points

When time is on my hands, among the numerous national issues I often put my mind to is the question of leadership.

Of course the most simple, basic definition of leadership has to do with guiding; being a principal from the beginning or front; guidance; directing and/or commanding. There are so many spheres of life and living that cry out for knowledgeable, responsible, even expert leadership. To me, frankly speaking, leadership can be both a privilege and a responsibility.

I often consider the reasons why some folks hold themselves out, even clamour for positions of leadership. Then the question of the quality of leadership presented to this current generation of Guyanese (especially 16 to 35) arises.
