Carifesta: Many Guyanese are locked out
August 21, 2008
hThe verdict is that many Guyanese are returning home with out tickets for the upcoming Carifesta events which start tomorrow. How can this be? Guyanese, all around Guyana counted the days when Carifesta would begin and planned their schedules accordingly to be able to attend the events. But now many have returned home without any hopes of ever getting into the events because there were no tickets available to supply the Guyanese public. It is simply because Guyana is simply not ready to entertain any regional events but government of Guyana had thought otherwise. How can you have fifteen thousand seats to entertain a semi global event on opening day? The government of Guyana needs a reality check. Guyana is not like any other nation in the Caribbean; it does not have any sort of solid infrastructure to host any event that is of the Carifesta scope. About 30 countries are participating and along with these countries comes an entire slue of people. How will Guyanese be able to attend an event in their own home country, when the government did not allot any space for them. This is sad and a shame. It is sad to see that the government of Guyana has forgot about its’ own people. They themselves have siphoned out the tickets for their own social group. Instead of cultivating one Guyana, the government has successfully accomplished the opposite. What a bunch of losers running that county. Events like these lead to riots and racial divide and this is one aspect of Guyanese life that is all too real, If such should happen again, I will not be surprised because it will be the deliberate fault of the Guyanese government to exclude its own people of being part of what is actually theirs. I would like to see Jagdeo, Persaud and the rest of the clueless gang explain this one on an open platform. I hope CN Sharma is got some tickets and get his camera in there and get some clips of these officials co-mingling with there upper class counter parts, Carifesta is suppose to inspire young Guyanese to uplift themselves, instead it has divided a nation in a single moment.
