Mars

From journalist Imran Khan

 

10 reasons why the $10,000 (US$50) is nothing but political gimmickry:

 

1. Thousands upon thousands of people are living in squalor and extreme poverty in Guyana - Plastic City, Tiger Bay, Albouystown, Anna Catherina, Bare Root etc; there is little to no hope of their conditions improving owing to widescale mismanagement, corruption, discrimination and economic victimization.

2. Health care is in a disastrous state - mothers in labour regularly dying at public health care institutions; lack of medicine and drugs at hospitals and health centres; persons with minor medical conditions dying in the care of public hospitals; pregnant women having to deliver babies in the washrooms of public hospitals; pregnant women having to share beds at the nation's premier medical institution.

3. Thousands without potable water in their homes.

4. Thousands who receive potable water provided with a nasty, grimy, thick sludgy brew; and even this being rationed with long daily periods when the *water* supply is turned off.

5. Hundreds of thousands having to suffer blackouts on a daily and nightly basis.

6. Unemployment rates sky high; thousands of young people without jobs; thousands of seasonal and other workers losing jobs and economic opportunity on an annual basis.

7. Guyana's suicide rate highest in the world. HIGHEST IN THE WORLD!

8. Corruption at an all time high. Guyana among the most corrupt state in the western hemisphere and one of the most corrupt in the world. A state of complete lawlessness pervades. No justice for the poor. Murderers with money and connections get off scot free. One man who was recorded on video shooting another man to death walks free; another murder accused had a high end motor cycle waiting for him after his court appointment and he rode off afterward, seemingly knowing that he would have been set free before the court proceedings had begun.

9. 7 out of 10 school children not being able to read properly; education in a state of continued disaster.

10. Migration rates continuing to soar with persons leaving for just about anywhere else and enduring inhuman conditions, including living in fowl pens and overcrowded cramped apartments, just to escape the misery of life in Guyana.

This is the reality of life in Guyana for the masses. The privileged few with connections to the cabal in power live a life of luxury by leaching off of state resources and flagrantly brandish their lifestyle to the poor and powerless.

* Get with the program Riffraff---it is a bribe for votes.

 

* Don't forget---this is the PPP goal.

 

* 50+1%

 

* You are free to remain in the 50-1%

Billboards are there to give people information, or to post advertisement. I didn't see anything that says bribery. Everything will look how your mind works, RiffRaff.

They are to fill need not give hand outs for votes. Imagine Obama giving away 50 to families for no assigned purpose except he states "Because we care". He would be impeached.

 

OLPF is a massive failure. They got 25K freebies ( exchange for logging concessions etc?) trashy netbooks ( Verizon used to give   away better  with a FIOS signup) to ignorant people with no support and not way to generate output so those are big game boy machines or convenient doorstops.

What is yours. It is an educational grant in a voucher given away out of turn? Which of these parent will spend it on their children educational tool kit? And again....what need is being met?

 

You and these dumb ass need to read a little on the use of vouchers and their efficiency. We had a long discussion on them here between the republicans and the democrats and that is still on going. The main point here is this is bribe money hence the slogan "Because we care....care about what? this a subtle hint at they have a patron. It is not "Because education matters"  or "Because a book and pencil is a baby step to success" etc. This is a bribe plain and simple.

 

It could be better handled by providing each child with a education care kit on first day of school. I suggest you read before you open your big yap and not grasp there is a long legacy of vouchers being abject failures to produce result except if it is for school fees to one of the student choosing.

It give designated purposefully for education and not as a check with a note from "Obama cares". It is for school of choice not where the parent can pocket it and buy salara. Who the hell are you trying to gull that the PPP is practicing their usual vote buying scheme. I bet Amerinds will be getting chain saws and ATV galore soon!

 Going on a rant will not avoid the fact the PPP are deep into their vote buying scheme hence their concentrated effort in areas the need in the coming elections.
