Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping flooding
By Leonard Gildarie It has been five weeks now since the staffers of the University of Guyana downed tools for salary increases. Today, the blockade of operations would represent one of the most severe tests of not only the administration and students alike, but to the Government and political parties.Let me first say that it is intolerable that a situation could go on for so long without any resolution. It is an embarrassment how we have allowed such a vital institution to become embroiled in a tug-of-war.With more than 5,000 students, some of them from overseas,Deion Sanders Falcons Jersey, the inaction by the relevant authorities to ensure the doors or gates to this institution are opened soonest to normalcy is alarming.It is no secret that the many families are struggling to make ends meet to send their loved ones to UG. It is a huge sacrifice and the stories are many. Then there are the overseas students.What are the issues at hand? Staffers are fighting for increases in their pay. That was how the current strike started. It quickly spread to include demands that the appalling conditions at the campus be fixed.Arguably there was a time when there was no money to intervene.We find money now to do almost everything else, yet there is difficulty in getting running water to parts of UG? Students have complained of non-functioning toilets, flooding, no lights.How could it be that UG prepares a budget every year,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, yet has nothing for maintenance? Yeah, someone will argue that there is no money.It will be an argument impossible to hold up anywhere.We have money. Farmers are getting help. Miners are getting help. We find millions for projects, some of the money coming right from our public treasury.So there is money.There is a debate ongoing now over news of Government spending on health care for officials, which at first glance seems exorbitant.Maybe it is that they are entitled to those benefits in which millions could be spent on something like dental care for one person while an institution such as UG suffers. Maybe they are two totally different issues.The problem is that for the ordinary man in the street, they are not too concerned about the accounting and bureaucratic intricacies in which monies can be allocated at a click of the finger.The point is that we are innovative people. We find ways to initiate projects. This is a simple problem that needs solutions. An entire university should not remain closed for five weeks. Fix it.I do hope this week that we end the closure and an agreement is reached.Recently also I saw two published reports of two break-ins at a new gated community along the East Bank Demerara.I understand fully that accidents and incidents do not tell when they would happen.The people are complaining that burglars damaged their homes and entered them,Cheap Sports Jerseys, stealing valuables. In one home,Andre Branch Dolphins Jersey, it appeared as though one of the burglars severely injured himself. He used sheets and tissues to stop the bleeding. It seemed like a hurricane had entered one of the homes.For the home owners,Deion Jones Falcons Jersey, according to the reports, the hardest part is the loss of innocence. The home is where you should feel secure…safe. A burglary,NFL Jerseys Cheap China, a home invasion…it takes that innocence away. You are left to wonder if the attack will happen again.One chooses to live in a gated community for a number of reasons. Security, well-maintained surroundings and quietude are but a few reasons.I am sure that an agreement for someone to live in a gated community entails security. It is difficult to avoid incidents but as a home owner, you should ensure that you pay attention to the fine print. What protection do you have in case of burglary at your home? Is the security responsible?In other words, pay attention.Please do have a pleasant week and continue to send your emails to [email protected] or call weekday on 225-8491. |
