Dear Herbert Allen, Thank you for bringing up this important issue. It is certainly reasonable to expect aspiring politicians to provide proof of residency and declare their tax returns before seeking high electoral office in Guyana. This level of transparency and accountability is essential in ensuring that only qualified and dedicated individuals are elected to represent the interests of the people. I appreciate your suggestion and will certainly consider it for future electoral reform discussions. Sincerely, [Your Name]
