I see where Granger has already moved away from economic zones with fiscal incentives. I'm yet to hear of vocational training. I wish someone would say something bold about a particular sector and run with it. The energy sector is like a large ocean liner that will be good in the long run, but what's needed is something more afleet (is that a word?) I see the tourism sector trying but the public sector needs to do more (and not expect profits) in infrastructure or moving people to attractions or making attractions attractive.
I also need to see the PPP/C people on this Board (and they're dominant - Bibi, Nehru, Cobra, Ba$eman, etc.) push the opposition to table motions or finance studies to change the economy in fundamental ways. It must be tied to elevating the educational and skill level of most workers. It is a myth to talk about how that party made economic progress. What progress?! It is easy though to knock the coalition for its lack of ideas and seeming square-pegs-in-round-holes approach, but that doesn't make the economy left behind one worthy of praise either.
I'm all ears to hear from the Bibis and Ba$es of this world. Oh, and CARIBNY too. Bring back Mits and Redux to join in. It should be fun. Importantly though the PPP/C supporters ought to fess up - like in drug therapy - that their party can and ought to do better even with a lousy track record that got them booted out.
Kari begging for his buddies to be allowed back. People who have absolutely no empathy for East Indian people of Guyana.

Has this become the standard for a discussion of Guyana's econoimic growth and development?
