There were a lot of people in Berbice who asked me to help them find jobs, get public assistance, get their dead husband's NIS benefits after 7 years since he died, get medical appointments, etc.
The PPP had no mechanisms to help their ordinary, working poor constituency troubleshoot their problems.
There was no PPP office in the villages that you could go to for help. During Burnham's time, they had offices you could go to, but of course they would want you to have a PNC card.
That is why the AFC were able to peel away their support in places like Whim, Bloomfield, Port Mourant, etc.
The PPP bigwigs were too busy scheming new scams to fleece the country, than to help the working poor.
Take, for instance, notary publics, to attest documents. Unlike the USA where anyone can take the class and be appointed, in Guyana, the President himself makes those appointments. And that was something doled out largely to party loyalists who made a living off of it. Nobody was looking after the poor people. That should have been a free service, and there should be many Notary Publics everywhere.
