President should authorise state of emergency
ON READING the Chronicle yesterday morning I felt very sorry for those killed and injured and their families.

The Government does not need consensus on crime.

In the private sector one is accountable and challenged to perform or he/she loses the job.

The President should authorise a state of emergency and the law enforcement agencies must hunt down and kill the criminals.

Law and order must be the first commandment of any country which wants peace and progress.

The Government has to equip the law abiding citizens with the same tools being used against them.

One has the constitutional right to protect himself and his family and the Government is held by the same law to equip the law abiding citizen to do the same.

State of emergency needed
PERMIT me to ask the Honourable President of Guyana, Bharrat Jagdeo, what really has to happen in Guyana and Guyanese, after Wednesday night's unprovoked slaughter in a bar, before his government effects a state of emergency, even if limited to Georgetown and its environs, from dusk to dawn?

How many more lives have to be snuffed out before the Government feels the limit has been reached and it then has a moral and legal responsibility to wisely end this madness before it spreads?
