Number 63 Beach facilities in deplorable state

This type of project should not be undertaken by central govt, it should be the responsibility of the local municipality, ndc's and villages. They have more of a vested interest more than folks in Georgetown.  The mentality in Guyana is a dependency of govt for everything,  vestiges of communist mentality. Look around the US and see who takes care of the beaches, the local municipality. 

drugabeer, GNI dankey extraordinaire, brays ignorantly about "communist mentality" . . . apparently unaware that "municipality" is also Government, and that the reason central gov't is being looked to is because it is the only effective taxing authority in the land . . . courtesy of the tiefman PPP's existential fear of devolved power

but then again, incoherence and proud stupidity are conspicuous characteristics of this particular MIGHTY FOOL; one just has to refer to his insistent nonsense about Andre on the other thread . . .

When will the Gov't hold local government elections?

You keep peddling the lies that it is govt that is delaying local elections for 20 years. In fact you should educate yourself about the Herdmanston accord in 1998 when your pnc comrades were rioting. This way you could at least be informed before you write nonsense. Gecom can not move forward with local elections until as defined in the Herdmanston accord,  there is an agreement from all parties in the special task force. There are 3 PNC members of the task force who are using delaying tactics in order to keep their party member Green in power. They don't attend the meetings to pass the reforms and hence the delay. Speak to the PNc and get them to clean up their act before you continue peddling this lie. 

If the PPP wanted to they would use other methods to deal with this, if it is true.  The PNC blocks them in parliament yet that doesn't stop them.

The PPP is not interested in Local Govt elections.

Read up on the Herdmanston accord and ketch some sense for once.  Don't assume, the pNC agreed to the provisions for general election only because the PPP were in power, they use delay tactics for the local elections because their agent Green is in power and they want him to remain there as long as they can.

You are certainly a certified jackass to make such assine statement.
Would you like me to post your picture?

Druggie Green got into power because the people of Gtown DID NOT WANT the PNC in.  I was in Guyana when those elections were held.

Green left the PNC and sought to destroy that party because of his battles with Hoyte. 

The PPP is never concerned about agreements.  When they want something they scream for it.

When have you heard them screaming for local elections?  They prefer no elections so they can install interim administrations, rather than having people select their local leadership.

The PPP should have told Guyanese many national elections ago that they will refuse to hold any until local govt elections were held, thereby putting pressure on the PNC, if indeed they are to blame.

Indeed Gtwn is supposedly run by the GGG party (not the PNC) which no longer exists.  That should have been sufficient a crisis to let the PPP know that elections in Gtwn were long overdue.

Now rumors are that they want to install an IMC packed with PPP sycophants, clearly NOT possible if there was an election in Gtwn.

Druggie you are behaving as if the PNC has any risk of losing Gtwn.  Indeed the best opportunity for the PNC to lose Gtwn is to keep Green, who most Gtwn folks are highly upset about.

So there is no reason for the PNC to hang on to a failed mayor out of fear that they might lose power otherwise.  Green came out of that part of the PNC which was discredited.  Its the more moderate faction which runs that party now.  Grainger is much loved by the black middle class of Gtwn.  Green is not.

Now you ketch sense, the PNC have no interest to come to the necessary agreement as per the Herdmanston accord as they already control gtown. If it was a PPP administration in gtown you would see how fast they show up at the meetings and satisfy the agreements. 

You are incorrect, it has been indicated in the Herdmanston meeting minutes that the PNC members are consistently absent from the meetings, making one excuse after another, a tactic employed as stalling tactics. You folks try to spin and pin this one on the PPP but it is the PNC who are the culprits. 

Druggie the PNC will win Gtwn so they will want to have local govt elections.

Right now the PNC does NOT control Gtwn. An IMC will shortly take over.  The GGG won in 1994, not the PNC.

The PPP knows that they will lose Gtwn in these elections o they will prefer an Interim Management loaded with their cronies.

The facts are that the PPP is not anxious for local elections or they woulod have been screaming for them.  They remain QUIET.

And the PPP is quite happy with this so they have not made any complaints.  Were the PPP anxious for local elections they would have made it a big issue in the last national elections.

SILENCE!!!!

The PPP screams about Marriott.  How come they dont about local elections?

In fact, my understanding is that the PNC will lose GT due to independent candidates, not aligned to any of the 3 parties. The PNC have no motive for having election as they are already in power. 

The PPP know they can not force local elections as the PNC is needed to signoff on the requirements as per the Herdmanston accord. So they complain but it falls to deaf ears.

The greater problem is that the residents of Georgetown have not risen up to demand elections. 

Druggie if Guyanese voted for independents the PPP and the PNC would have died long ago.

The current state of Gtwn has resulted in an IMC being set up to run it.  The GOVT will determine who will be included.

So why will the PNC be happy that the PPP gets to chose who administers Gtwn?

And why hasnt the PPP used the fact that almost every local governing entity in Guyana, not just Gtwn, has ceased to exist?

The PPP selects who administers all these locations, rewarding all their cronies.  Wy should they want elections?

Guyanese are apathetic and have lost confidence in politicians so will not demand anything.

You seem to lack common sense, the only way to achieve local elections is to fulfill the requirements of the Herdmanston accord which has been stalled by the PNC intentionally not showing up for meetings.  The PPP can not do anything about this as you claim, they can not override the agreement. 

If the PPP was so hopeless there would be no Marriott.

The PPP has a lot of mouth about GPL, blaming the PNC for rate increases (CHris Ram says its GPL incompetence).  So why silent about local govt elections?

Druggie here is the deal. Most of the Gtwn folks are PNC supporters. Now what would be a better way to snatch them from the PNC than to tell them that they live in filth because the PNC refuses to allow local elections.

How often have you heard the PPP say so?  Every day the PPP has so  Something to scream about what the opposition is allegedly doing to them.  So why not about local elections which are almost 20 years past due?

Why do you keep ignoring the facts: the pnc are using delay tactics to impede agreements necessary for local elections as per the Herdmanston accord. 

You still keep theorizing that somehow it is the PPP's fault based on unrelated events. I believe you must be one of those 5% afros on mind altering medication. 

Right after they lose the general elections.

When the PNC has a poistion that the PPP doesnt like they scream.  They do so about GPL.  They do so about Amaila Falls.  They do so about Marriott.

They even do so about the NCN and GINA, both of which are a waste of taxpayers' money and deserve to be shut down.

So they fact that they do not do so for local elections means that they do not care.

You will need to explain why is the PPP so silent on this topic, yet so noisy on others.  Indeed had they screamed louder they may willo ahve won over some sliver of support from Gtwn residents, as no one is happy with hammie Green, and if the PPP explained exactly why there are no local elections some might have refused to support the PNC.

But the PPP stays silent on this subject, yet wails when the PNC attempts to shut down Guyana Chronicle, another waste of taxpayer's funding.

The issue might well be that people are less likely to vote race at a local level so BOTH the PPP and the PNC are fearful so try to delay.

Why have we had FOUR national elections since the last local election was held?

So druggie let me make it easy for you.  Let the PPP resign and disband the national govt and let all decisions be made at the local level.

I mean the PPP cannot be held responsible for our dismal crime fighting apparatus, health care and educational systems.  So what use are they?

Ask druggie what 10% of 43% is and he says 10%.  Why expect any thing sensible from him?
