The Government’s empty promises

TIMES INT'L

Dear Editor,

The ruling APNU/AFC coalition campaigned throughout the election period and made a whole host of promises to the people of Guyana which they promised to deliver within 100 days. 100 days have passed by and most of the promises they made to us Guyanese were not fulfilled.

The APNU/AFC claims that Guyana is currently bankrupt and yet we have a whopping Gy$221 billion budget.

The ruling party is only trying to put a shield over the eyes of the innocent people by attempting to make us all believe that we live in a poor low-graded bankrupted country. But that’s not true. Guyana is a developing third world country which has the ability of becoming the Singapore of the South America, but not under this administration.

If Guyana is bankrupt, then where did Mr David Granger get millions of dollars to spend on his grand inauguration celebrations held at the National Stadium? Guyana is not bankrupt. Why would the Granger administration make such a declaration? What will foreign investors think when they hear the President of Guyana announces that Guyana is bankrupt and has no money in its treasury? Investments will stop and then Guyana will indeed go bankrupt.

They gave us a meager salary increase, which will make no difference in our lives.

Also, under the David Granger Administration, Guyana has seen a whopping increase of crime by over 10 per cent. Is this the good life Mr Granger has promised Guyanese?

Guyana is a country that can be the richest of all but it all depends on the intentions of its ruler.

Yours Truly,

Rayan Sattaur
