Those lying AFC/PNC creeps stated that Guyana grants subsidies to Bosai. Sam Hinds clearly stated that they don't. This peddling of misinformation by d2 and others is clearly a strategy to cause deliberate unrest in the nation. These people stay in their armchair from abroad and support rioting in the nation while getting a good laugh at the Guyanese people's expense.
Druggie here is the deal. The PPP grants subsidies to BOSAI which then sells its surplus electricity to Lindeners via two companies which only distribute electricity. GPL is not in Linden.
If BOSAI is not subsidized then neither are LIndeners. The subsidy that BOSAI gets, not only covers what Lindeners use but also what BOSAI uses for itself.
Given that few Lindeners now work for BOSAI are you insisting that LIndeners subsidize BOSAi, which is currently poisoning them as it refuses to use moderntechnology to reduce the smoke emitted from its plants.
There was an electricity plant in Linden which was shut down by the govt.
What was most noteworthy is the fact that the $30,000 per capita that they govt claims to have spent on Lindeners is actually a mere US$ 150. What is also noteworthy is that after 20 years of governance very few new jobs have bene created in Linden so I dont know why the govt is pretending that they hve done so much. Lindeners have complained that most of the contracts have not been awarded to Lindeners, nor do they use Lindeners, except for the worst jobs.
What is also notable is after 20 years there was much babble about "Linden's future potential". The Brazilians offered to build a highway and the govt has dragged its feet. W/o that highway there is none of that potential that the govt boasts about.
No wonder, after almost abandoning the PNC in 2006 (they PNC only got 50% of the voytes that year that it got in 2001) Lindeners came out in their thousands to register disgust with the PPP for its idle boasts and lies. There was a 25% increase in voter turn out. Not only did all of this go to the PNC but so did 50% of those who voted for the PPP and AFC in 2006. The PNC saw a 60% increase in votes in 2011, vs 2006.
Linden remains a depressed town with massive poverty being a feature. Many have been forced to leave Linden to look for other opportunities in the interior and in the Caribbean, in addition to migration to North America.
