That figure is bloated how do they arrived at that amount is mysterious,unless they bloating the gold smuggling.
Jagdeo said billions of dollars of gold are smuggled.
I have noticed a lot of development in housing and business [viewing COCOT videos] during the PPP rule,money was flowing due to the high price rice farmers were getting from the Petro Caribe Deal,high Gold Prices..etc and some Underground Activities.Sweet deals don't last forever especially with commodities,when prices drop it can be devastating.
The PPP did some good which is overshadowed by Cronyism and Corruption,look at all them funny fellas,some that i know was riding bicycles,today they live like kings among the poor.
The Corruption and Cronyism is the cause of their downfall,this administration is working hard to weaken the PPP,also in my view BJ Egoistic behavior will further decimate the party.
I maybe wrong,we shall see.
Django, there is no question about a few corrupt government officials and Ministers, but Guyana economy rise under the PPP government, there was massive development from Skeldon to Essequibo.
You can recognize more development in Indian neighbourhood because that's INDIAN culture... work hard ... save and build.
The PPP took Guyana from the gutter and raise Guyana on a upward trend.
I recall you said on this forum, you went back home once/ twice for 1-4 days ( My apology if I am wrong)
Two years ago , you should have visit Guyana and drive around the country... I believe you would be speaking differently today. Bai Guyana is not the same , it's going down hill in the last two years . We don't make a profit on our business... we barely break even .
Whats rise in Guyana is Divorce , drugs, thieves, bribery.
Regarding PPP official riding bicycle, that's a poor way of thinking. Oh man you don't expect people to move up in life like you ... you don't know how hard people work. Your thoughts of thinking is coolie man mentality. Your 500 G saving in investment and with 7000 sq ft warehouse in 20 years....dude should I believe your two quick trip to Guyana has anything to do with corrupt deals ... absolutely not . Good Luck and all the best .
