Fire Service capacity boosted – Chinese Gov’t donates 10 fire tenders

This relationship from which Guyana is now benefitting will obviously go a very far way in enhancing the capacity of the Guyana Fire Service in many respects, Minister Rohee stated.

 

He also recalled that in his Budget 2013 debate presentation he had made it known that the Guyana Fire Service (GFS) would be renamed he Guyana Fire  and Rescue Service and would go through certain transformative periods in order to ensure that the Service becomes modernised.

 

This is the ambition of Fire Services around the world, he said, and the GFS must not be left behind. The GFS has come a very far way, for those who are acquainted with its history would know that from seven stations there are now 16 around the country, form one and a half fire tenders there are  now 36, he stated.

The additional fire tenders will see an exponential growth in the capacity of the Fire Service to provide an effective and efficient service to the residents not only in Georgetown, but in the other regions as well, the Minister said.

 

Minister Rohee urged officials of the GFS to take special care of the vehicles to ensure that they are well serviced and protected and that they are used for the benefit of the people.

Should the afc/pnc attain power, their recent diatribes against the Chinese indicate that they would destroy this relationship. They want the whites to invest in Guyana but the whites have run out of money and only exploit without giving back.

 A very fine gesture and a welcomed gift. Hope the Government has taken into consideration the availability of adequate water supplies through additionally installed water hydrants that can access water during emergencies in the city; and in the suburban areas ready access of water from cleared drains and accessible  water pipes. And, yes, drivers adequately trained to drive these Fire Trucks at high speed.

You are a congenital liar who would lie on his own mother. Your above statement is false.

The Chinese are new colonizers in 19th century predatory mode. Show me one place on the planet where they went and they did not import Chinese for their labor, support systems supplanting local labor opportunities. Further they move thousands of other Chinese into the area in a constant stream and with bribing local politicians and they soon to dominate local markets.

 

They take out natural resources, replace local products with cheap imitations and  build nothing that is not a part to their machinery to exploit the local region. They have no respect for local customs and given the willing complicity of local politicians to entertain graft disregard local authority completely when they can.

 

On entering the area they immediately begin to violate every labor or environmental laws, to cut corners and take more than offered. They always piling on excuse upon excuse for why they take in excess of their authority. They also never add to the technological capacity of the local area since they never hire any personnel or allow any local people in positions demanding specialty training. Local workers are grunts.That has begun in Guyana already. We are just a willing host to their parasitism.

You have to hand it to these Chinese. As soon as the PPP convinced them that the PNC might target Chinese businesses and burn them down the Chinese made provisions to protect their properties by importing their own fire engines. But in order to avoid having to pay for fire engine crews they pretend to donate the fire engines to Guyana.

Because Guyana is willing to work with the Chinese Businesses to develop Guyana. No longer is England and America the only ones money to lend and expertise to provide. I hope the Indians will soon follow.

Basically, the caste system have ingrained in low class indians the desire not to afford anything by themselves. Handouts and left overs is quite good, such graciousness saves the vosionless from making an effort.

 

I promised myself not to blame the Peoples Progressive Party but instead to blame the visionless imposters who took the party by deciet. These imposters doan have a clue about the pride of a nation, to build a nation or lead a nation.

Would you be saying the same if it was Americans, British or Canadian?

They are not colonizers, but rather opportunists, no different than the Americans of the past in its glory days. However they are the only show in town and it is a symbiotic relationship.
