APNU Presidential Candidate David Granger
David Granger, the Presidential Candidate for A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) says that the manifesto which represents a contract with the people of Guyana as presented by the Peoples Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) is nothing new and is merely a duplicate of previous ones.
The party launched its manifesto a week ago and on Nomination Day when Granger was asked about it said that, “its (PPP/C) manifesto is more of the same.”
According to the APNU Presidential Candidate the manifesto is the equivalent of what was presented in 2001 and 2006 and that there are no surprises in it.
Granger told media operatives that the manifesto as presented represents just a list of warmed over policies, some of which have already proven to be failures, “so they don’t deserve another five years to do what they couldn’t do in 19 years.”
A confident Granger said that APNU has been reaching out to the people at all levels and is confident that the needs can be met at all levels with security being a priority.
Granger says that in Guyana the security dilemma is one that has to be addressed in its entirety.
“People are concerned about security, something that cannot be ignored….the government which is responsible for citizens security ignore them.”
The PPP/C manifesto which was recently launched and has come in for some flack from Granger states it will be placing new emphasis on intelligence led policing, strengthening the intelligence gathering and processing capabilities of the Police Force including full establishment of the intelligence apparatus, through ICT enablement and networking of stations for real time access to databases, along with improved forensic capability, thereby enabling a more robust fight against narco-traffickers.
The Donald Ramotar-spearheaded manifesto also seeks to improve the cooperation and collaboration among the branches in the criminal justice system, particularly the magistracy, judiciary, the DPP chambers, police prosecutions and the CID.
Ramotar also in the manifesto proposes the application of statutory provisions to enhance the functioning and the accountability to parliament of the judiciary.
The PPPC manifesto also speaks of enhancing the operational capacity of the joint services by the provision of targeted training, forensic, communication and transportation resources along with the increased resort to ICT applications in the fight against crime.
