Re-printed:  Creating Jobs.

THE future of Guyana has never been this bright, given the high number of investments that have been made, and are to be made in the next few years. With the series of oil discoveries in Guyana, investors, particularly foreign investors, have channeled their attention to Guyana, even as local players do their part to cash in on the massive economic growth that the country is on course to experience for at least the next two decades. It is good to see local investors gearing up for the exponential growth in business expected here, as well as contributing to the changing of the physical landscape of Guyana.

In recent months, several Guyanese companies readily come to mind, namely, the Sleepin Group, Arimu Investments, Palm Court, and King’s Guyana and Giftland.
The more recent being the Sleepin Group, which is investing US$6 million in a new hotel on Brickdam, Georgetown, that will create jobs for more than 75 persons. A few weeks earlier, the principals of Arimu Investments turned the sod for the construction of the US$15 million Aiden Hotel at the corner of Robb and Oronoque Streets, Georgetown. This investment is expected to create employment for over 50 persons.

These aside, The Sheraton, The Element, Delta Marriott, Best Western Hotels and Resorts, the H-Tower Luxury Hotel, the Hyatt Hotels Corporation, the Radisson Hotels, and the Hilton Hotels and Resorts have all indicated an interest in setting up operations here.
These investments are good news for many ordinary Guyanese, as well as local businesses, largely because many of them stand to benefit as workers and suppliers of goods and services. In the construction sector, thousands of jobs will be created, both directly and indirectly, through the construction of these luxury edifices. Thousands of jobs will also be created directly and indirectly when these buildings are completed.

One would ask how, and the answer is very simple. When an international hotel becomes operational, several areas that necessitate its existence come on stream. And among these include the creation of jobs for cooks and laundry and maintenance services. Jobs for taxi operators also increase. When these are added, and all the hotels that are being constructed and are to be constructed are taken into account, it amounts to the creation of thousands of jobs and a positive spin-off effect on local businesses, both large and small.

On a wider perspective, the investments in the hotel industry mean the enablement of a modern and aesthetically pleasing landscape in terms of physical infrastructure, better tourism facilities and world-class tourism services, and, of course, putting the spotlight on Guyana on the global platform.

When these investments are taken together and added to investments being made and are to be made in the other sectors, unemployment seems well-positioned to head on a rapid downward spiral. It is in this light that the government’s promise to provide some 50,000 jobs during its first term in office does not seem far from reach as the developments that are expected to unfold would be transformational in nature.

Much of these were alluded to by President, Dr. Irfaan Ali, who told reporters in September last year that 2021 will be the year of investment and development.
“What you will see next year (2021) is a flurry of developmentâ€Ķ There will be active work on the new Demerara Harbour Bridge, the new four-lane road, new hotels, and the creation of 50,000 homes,” he had said following an inspection of the site for the new harbour bridge, where he also pointed out that work will commence on the construction and rehabilitation of roads in hundreds of communities; new infrastructure, and there will be major developments in every sector of the economy.

Too bad the PNC/R+APNU/AFC coalition couldn't do that or else the people wouldn't have voted them out of office. Now that the people see how progressive the PPP/C is, they will re-elect them again.

The only progress there is at the moment is a return to the narco state, money laundering, theft of taxpayers money, kickbacks on the award of large contracts, suspension of parliament to avoid scrutiny, undemocratic decision making, high crime, blatant lies from the "installed" government, massive corruption and growing tension in the country between groups of people

This is the trouble with you guys. While there are elements of credibility with what you say, there is also gross exaggeration. This is like when the PNC was saying Jagdeo stole US$5 billion. And Clive Thomas misestimating the theft. Which government is installed?

So afros are being enriched in the so-called narco-state.  Only PNC goons are being charged for money laundering and stealing taxpayer's money. Police investigations revealed that blacks commit more crimes than Indos and all of the embezzlers are afros who are going to be jailed very soon. PNC criminals are charges for trying to steal the election.  There is no tension in the country only those who want it are trying to create it by lying to the people.

So, that's the default? The State Department? You guys talked about corruption for years but could not prosecute anyone from the PPP. After 5.5 years of PNC the PPP boys turned the table and are able to prosecute PNC-ers. There is no statistical difference between the drug interception now and during the PNC+AFC. There is your exaggeration.

I was absolutely sure you couldn't point out the exaggeration you mentioned! What you came up with was strawman arguments about what the PNC didn't do.

We all know the Apnu-Afc demonstrated poor leadership while they were in government and l have said so here. That doesn't mean the PPP was innocent of crimes.

Now to get back on track. The PPP are back to their old pre 2015 ways and the argument that drug busts today are what they were under the PPP is a freedom house line. Check Jagdeo's latest press conference. You are parroting the PPP line.

After mopping up drug trafficking activity when the Coalition came to power, everyone knew that drug dealing was dead in Guyana. Drug related killings stopped and the country could breathe again.
