“Of course, this would be incredibly difficult to do—resurrecting the conscience of any government, more so this government. This is a government whose grip on state control has led to a system of inequality, in which excessive political and economic power cloaks an elite few while the masses are impoverished. This is a government whose governance playbook has taught us that the rule of law does not apply to everyone. Silencing critics is strategic to governing with zero accountability and transparency, and attacking rather than protecting rights, including the right to free speech, is how you reinforce fear in a citizenry weakened by the ballot-style interpretation of democracy we have in Guyana.”
