I have lived all my life in Guyana, never once contemplated migrating from these shores. I survived the dark days and with a smile pray that God will show our leaders the right path and direction to lead our people in the rightful path. Today our economy is registering economic growth and our people have acquired house lots through the government housing programme, banks are approving low-income mortgages so ordinary people can own their own homes to raise their families.
Guyana is geared for rapid economic development, and its landscape has significantly changed over the past years, with better roads that have street lights, businesses are investing huge sums of money, more cars are being imported and are lining our roadways showing signs of prosperity for the nation.
The point I want to make is that the treasury has millions of U.S. dollars in foreign reserves and that was due to careful and wise economic decisions, not to mention excellent management and accountability. Our economy is presently like a marriage with both parties involved asking to show what they have accomplished and saved during the marital years.
Fair-minded Guyanese must ask themselves this question: “Are we better off than we were 20 years ago and listen to the answer carefully.”
My fellow Guyanese, I am urging you to watch those comrades who have axes to grind. They will come in your midst with all kinds of sweet talk and promises while at the same time bad mouthing the party that they came from. (easy lesson good for dunce). One such gentleman became annoyed when the presidential post was accredited to another candidate.
This man became so obsessed that he later formed his own party with the aim of becoming the President of Guyana. His party never won a set at the election; he subsequently ran back to his former party.
My fellow brothers and sisters, they will come in your villages like con men promising you the moon, the stars, and the world, but be wary of them and don’t fall for the lies and deceit that will be spewing from their mouths. Chase them away and think for yourself.
The past government which ruled over Guyana for 28 years could not have shown a penny saved in the treasury much less the foreign reserves. They left us as a stigmatised nation as being one of the world’s highly indebted poor countries.
With the present government, progress is very visible and people can attest to that because of their new and improved standard of living. The government is also showing over $700 million in foreign reserves in our treasury.
You be the judge and ask yourselves, who will be better able to manage this country and our resources so that we will continue to maintain our standard of living or look forward for our children and grandchildren enjoying an improved and decent way of life?
