to year with little change and are found largely among politicians and those who make national budgets. Since there is little that is new or exciting in them, they are almost forgotten . Personal New Year Resolutions, on the other hand, are always alive and layout an optimistic course of action and achievement for the person making them. They serve as an affirmation. Societal or Country Resolutions for Guyana for the New Year 2020 would be very different from the past since in 2020 the country would have been metamorphosed into an Oil and Gas one. Oil wealth would begin to flow and the country could realistically achieve the dreams of development it had always had from the time of Sir Walter Raleigh. The country resolution is to improve the standard of living of the population by having enough funds to inject into the development of agriculture, industry and social services. Wages, salaries and pensions would be improved. Health services throughout the country will begin to move towards the highest levels with surgeries and medical treatments which could only have been accessioned abroad would be done locally. The Faculty of Medicine of the University would be upgraded and serious medical research would be embarked upon. Education is another area where standards would begin to be immediately raised. All teachers would have better salaries and would be fully trained so that there would be no untrained teachers in the schools. School buildings would be modernized and properly equipped and the hardships which pupils from poorer families now experience would begin to disappear. Throughout its history Guyana was known to be a country with vast resources waiting to be developed.
Whatever development occurred did so at a slow and painful pace leaving the country in 2019 with a sugar industry, a bauxite industry and a rice industry struggling to survive because of lack of capital injections. The other industry which has been earning is the gold industry which needs capital to be spent on infrastructural development. With the infusion of adequate capital which would have derived from the Oil and Gas industry, they would have become prosperous and a source of continuous and permanent wealth unlike Oil and Gas whose existence is finite as Trinidad is sadly experiencing. Oil revenues would have been spent on the development of cheaper and renewable energy mainly on hydropower and solar energy. These cheaper and renewable sources have eluded Guyana for decades. It made the profitable and continuous development of industry and Agriculture almost impossible. Now, this handicap would be forever removed. And lastly, The Venezuelan Controversy which has been such a threat to the country’s security and existence and which was used by Venezuela to prevent investment in Guyana and stymie economic development would have been put to rest. The hearings of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) would have brought the issue to its finality and Venezuela would inevitably have to accept the boundaries as had been decided by the 1899 Arbitration and which Venezuela herself demarcated with Britain shortly thereafter. Guyana’s New Year Resolutions are optimistic and far more realizable than personal Resolutions. When the traditional New Year greetings of “Ring in the New Year” and “Prosperous 2020” are given, they would be more meaningful to Guyanese than they had ever been.
