And what did this letter say? Nothing for any one who has even the most basic understanding of economics.
Jagdeo was as much of a clown as the current Minister of Finance. Glorified book keepers and no more.
When Jagdeo did more than that the fat flew in his face. I suggest that the PPP explains to Guyanese why the Skeldon factory was such a loss. After all Guyanese taxpayers now have to service almost US$ 50 million in debt with NOTHING to show. Then we can add Marriott and the Providence stadium and the Berbice Bridge.
Stabroek News has a whole section dealing with PPP corruption and incompetent crony capitalism.
The current guys are doing nothing but dreaming for oil, so at least they will not land Guyanese taxpayers with a massive bill for poorly conceived projects.
As usual, none of your accusations are based on facts. The truth lies somewhere in between. The Stabroek are politically motivated in their reporting as they supported the PNC/AFC.
The PPP did make blunders, but this is what happens when govt tries to run industry that they are not qualified to oversee. The Skeldon plant was in good order when turned over to the PNC, the PNC/AFC coalition purposely sabotaged the plant via lack of maintenance so they could sell it to their friends and family for profit. If they knew how to fix sugar, all the have to do is fix the defective problems with the plant, rather than throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
The Berbice Bridge, Marriott and Providence stadiums are legitimate assets to the country today regardless of the initial cost. So is the Skeldon plant, despite the PNC Clive Thomas sinister plot to "give it away" as a discounted price to friends and family under the guise of scrapping it as a total write off.
But the fact remains that today the PNC has put the country in the shitcan. This is irrefutable.
