In the wake of a tragic incident involving Teekadai and the subsequent injury of young Solomon, Ronald J. Daniels has issued a heartfelt message of condolence and a call to action against intimate partner violence.
Daniels expressed his deep sympathy to Teekadai’s family, friends, and loved ones, stating, “There are no words for this tragedy. I can only hope that you find peace in the midst of all this.” He also extended condolences to Mr. Solomon’s family, recognizing the heavy burden they now bear.
In a passionate plea, Daniels urged the nation to pray for Solomon’s full and swift recovery, condemning the act of violence as an “act of cowardice” that has become all too common in society. He shared a personal story of a close cousin who narrowly escaped an attempted murder by her partner, who tragically took his own life, believing he had succeeded in killing her.
Daniels announced plans to address the pervasive issues of intimate partner violence and the necessary reforms, particularly concerning the issuance and revocation of firearm licenses, in a separate post. For now, he emphasized the importance of honoring Teekadai by collectively condemning such acts of violence in the strongest terms.
His message serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need for societal change and increased awareness surrounding intimate partner violence in Guyana.
