– Dr. Yesu PersaudBy Fareeza HaniffGuyanese were given a chance to go back into the history of this country, and to learn of the struggles and fights that were experienced to make Guyana what it is today. On Saturday evening, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL), Dr. Yesu Persaud, delivered a lecture on “Guyanese Identity” at the Indian Cultural Center Bel Air, Georgetown.While highlighting the positives of the country, Dr. Persaud also shed light on the negative issues which he said are ‘driving’ persons out of the country.Dr. Yesu Persaud, fifth from left, poses with some of the participants at the lecture, including Managing Director of Kaieteur News, Mr. Glenn Lall, third from right.According to Dr. Persaud, Guyanese are here to stay and if they stay, then a great nation can be built.However, he pointed out that this is not the reality of the day.“There are so many people who are living overseas, and want to come back to Guyana, but the politics here is so screwed, people don’t want to come back. Few have returned, but if they come, they go back. And everyday we see people leaving our shores, great and skilled people.”He added that the Caribbean seem to also be rejecting Guyanese, taking into consideration the ongoing issue in Barbados.“Now nobody seems to want us in the Caribbean. We are now called outcasts in Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and Antigua. Why are they leaving? There is a continuous flood of people from Guyana. If we do all the right things, then we will make this country great and have human rights respect, but once there is fear, people will not express themselves,” Dr. Persaud said.He explained that everybody has to work together and live together in peace and harmony or the country will sink, although it is understandable that this is very difficult for some people who will think it’s impossible.But according to Dr. Persaud, ‘nothing is impossible, we are the ones who make it impossible.’“People need to remember that the government was elected to serve the people and not the people to serve the government. In this country today, politicians don’t take advice, they have their advisers. You can’t go and advise politicians, unless they ask for it.”He also pointed to the case of where approximately 82% of University of Guyana students leave the country after graduating every year, largely due to the fact that jobs are not available for them.Dr. Persaud noted that Guyana is stuck in the past where it is believed that only certain people who are here can do better.“We are making mistakes that have been made in the past. The British left one of the best education systems, one of the best primary educations. The teachers then were very impressive and it had nothing to do with race. All the teachers back then, were Afro Guyanese and they gave of their best. Indian teachers came into the picture in the late 50’s.”Meanwhile, Dr. Persaud is of the view that Guyana should not have fought for Independence, because Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and the small Islands did not fight for their Independence.“We made some wrong moves. Our leaders were so carried away, both Burnham and Jagan and they were also greatly influenced by the sovereign union.”He noted that in 1964, Burnham came into power and for seven years, he ran an excellent ship.According to Dr. Persaud, at that time lots of money was pouring into Guyana as the Linden Highway and the Canje Bridge along with several roads were established.However, in the 1970’s, he said, things started to change as there was a decline in bauxite, since Guyana was unable to meet some of its deadlines. At that time too, Dr. Persaud said, good people were forced out of the country.He noted that in 1992, when the Peoples Progressive Party (PPP) took over,Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale, freedom reigned, as Cheddi Jagan did not do anything harsh.“But when he passed away, things started to change. Mrs.Jagan was not up to date with the politics.”
