Citizen's Response to Kaieteur News Editorial "UG Needs better Leadership"
Dear Sir/Madam,
I trust that all is well. The Kaieteur News editorial, "UG Needs better Leadership", published May 04, 2017, reflects a poor understanding of the University of Guyana's role in Guyana's development and place in the wider world. The University's mission is to generate, disseminate, and apply knowledge in the service of the community, the nation, and all mankind in an atmosphere of free and critical inquiry (Academic Board 2001). It aims to provide a place for education, learning, and research at the of the highest university standard in the arts and sciences throughout Guyana. It is a mission and legacy bequeathed to us by our forbearers who had the foresight and wisdom to dream this dream in 1963. Given this mission, what is the right framework for understanding and analyzing our national university? I humbly submit to the editor, that the guiding principles for a proper analysis of the university's leadership and trajectory are as follows:

The Government Erred by not Celebrating Mashramani Like the Last 45 years
I am a supporter of the coalition government of Guyana but I believe that they have erred by not encouraging the normal throngs of Guyanese to visit Guyana for the 2016 Mashramani celebrations.
There is never a time when businesses or governments should turn down an opportunity for the public to spend their money.
