Reply to "Why is the PPP investing in tourism but not in manufacturing and agriculture?"

When you people speak of Hoyte you speak as if he had some kind of magical power. The economy was terrible under Hoyte and crime was rampant. He made cosmetic changes that did very little for Guyana. Real economic changes began around 1993. The Custom & Excise Dept. reported revenues of 1 billion dollars in the last year of the PNC gov't which was 1992. In the first full year of the PPP/Civic gov't revenues collected amounted to 19 billion dollars. Off course, trade picked up but the real difference came from people not stealing as they did before.

Warrow, please find out how much revenue the Custom and Excise Dept. collected in 2010 and then gauged against the last year of the PNC gov't in office. We want to make a comparison and from that we will make a logical deduction(s).


That's project for you.

Good luck and do your best. Professor Nehru of York College will review your findings/
