You can only spend what you have access to to spend. These PPP noise makers are showing total lack of fiscal knowledge. They want money to flow by hook or by crook.

Oh yes I forgot the money done on expensive Luxury Vehicles the Pensioners can always eat Grass.  Mr T for President!!!

Considering that there are 43,500 persons benefiting from old age pension in Guyana, Edghill told media operatives that “if you only have an increase in the total appropriation of $186M how will you find the money to fund the increase for the remainder of the year?…this must be either corrected or explained.”

He said that based on the figures, pensioners are not guaranteed the amount of money that they were promised in the 2015 Budget.

Put that in simple language: Re

43,500 Pensioners multiply by 17,000 = 735.9 Millions per month

Now you multiply that by Four Months, (Sept, Oct, Nov and Dec 2015)

that is 735.9 million multiply by four = 2,958 Two Billion Nine Hundred and Fifty Eight Millions:

Please have them correct the figures, Sir.

This fellow is a laugh. Brazzington forgo 110 million in dividends to NIS from the berbice river bridge last year. That could have gone a long way to pensioners. Further, Guysuco has not paid its dues and ows millions! What the hell is edgehill the creep talking about?

Perhaps, PNC cum AFC government is lavishly spending money they have no access to now or in the future.

I am unsure whether these guys are up to the task of effectively governing the countr.  They keep making mistakes on these simple matters. What is the matter with them?

The budget process shows their incompetence to deal / address the simple issues on the government ministries, organisations, commissions. etc..

Why are they not up to the task when? Did the PPP possesses any significant competencies that make them outstanding? And in what arena did they flourish given we are up shits creek without a paddle presently with empty coffers and failing industries?

I am not employed by a one, including the PPP to defend them or to criticize the coalition government. Since you asked, these are my thoughts. Since their election and up to now, they seem to be having difficulty with governing. No central focus, the public relations approach is crap, pass legislation  approx s month ago and not treat the constitutional agencies they defined correctly in the budget, no one really certain which minister does what, minister Broom exceeding her authority, withdrawing $30 billion from the banking sector (thought there was no money), not realizing that countries that have border disputes can still have constructive engagement in other areas, the number of ministers and Vice Presidents to administer a country if just over tgree quarter of a million, unable to convince people that they have a workable plan to deal with crime, the reduction of the Berbice bridge toll now subsidized by the taxpayers, the minuscule increases given to pensioners, promised a new way of doing things and now doing the same as the former government, etc. You need to check the veracity of the issue of empty coffers.
