Tell that to the local fishermen who are saying that their catches have dropped substantially due to the oil industry and worsening of climate change.
According to Climate Central Research Groups, GT will be underwater by 2030 if the emissions continue at their current rate.
Mr. Ashni Singh doan know too much. It is possible only if.
Mr. Singh should study China, Taiwan and Vietnam before taliking.
Guyanese do not want to work and especially for low wages, and there is no wukforce in Guyana. Guyana is not a major consumer, so everything is driven by consumer prices in foreign places.
Manufacturing goes hand in hand with Transportation -air and sea, local raw material production. Guyana does not allow smart people to be involved in the economy. Suh dem is fooling demselves. Just plain assinine talk.
There is a Bollywood movie named 3 idiots. We in Guyana has 3 idiots too, Jagdeo, Ali and Singh-foooking morons always talking shite.
Back in 2017, I pitched the idea of converting Port Mourant Training Centre into an Oil and Gas Institute. The school was going to close because sugar was dead in Guyana. I noticed AShi Singh has alloted money for the idea. The problem, the school is a shithole place in its present condition. Nothing like the days of Bookers. Put any money down, the existing condition will prevail with ONLY NAME of a Oil and Gas Insititute. The three idiots do not have a clue of what is involved-dey know how to fool Indo supporters.
Bess to forget the frigging place-no laws, no order, and the voters doan care, the PNC is being an ASS, AFC is a remnant.
Singapore is different, they deal with only money in trading of goods. Actual product manufacturing is mainly the Chinese ppl.
@seignet There are more than three Idiots in the country with no vision ,there are many things that can be done to make the country become self sufficient and uplift the country poor ,agriculture should have been the major focus ,using some of the oil money ,Guysuco have plenty land.They dream big too fast ,noticeably neighboring Suriname in no rush to extract their oil from the Ocean beds.
The two projects Gas to Shore and Amelia are graft schemes to pilfer the treasury.The option should be using ships to bring the gas to shore .No mention made about the cost of transmission lines from Amelia Falls to link up with the National Grid.
Massive oil extraction will be a curse to Guyana ,the Ocean bordering Guyana will be polluted with the waste water dumping and gas leaks from the pipeline .The air will be polluted more rain falls due to flaring,expect unpredictable rain falls and more flooding. The Idiots from the PPP said they don't need policy papers they work. Fishing will be a dead Industry in Guyana another loss of food production.
With the massive oil extraction Exxon and Partners will be the winner and Guyana the loser after the oil dried up ,some of the analyst differs on how long there will be oil ,some say 50 yrs some say 30 yrs.
Did Ashni Singh, Jagdeo's secretary, really say that? How can a country of 750000 be industrialized? What are they hoping to produce? Cars? Helicopters (remember?)? Is there an example of where this was achieved? Besides, are we not now in the information age?
Guyana has massive unemployment. There is a lack of people willing to train other people in skills.

Why don't you go back and teach them your Sanitation skills or how to peel Aloo?
Finance Minister says budget outlines transformational agenda, accuses APNU+AFC of frustrating development
-defends controversial NRF Act
February 6 ,2022

Senior Minister within the Office of the President with Responsibility for Finance Dr Ashni Singh spent more than two hours on Friday night closing the debate on the 2022 national budget, where he focused heavily on the shortcomings of the APNU+AFC coalition during its time in government.
Singh, in his presentation, said that the budget is one that outlines Guyanaâs transformational agenda in a way that generations of Guyanese have been waiting for.
âSir, this government, this budget outlines an agenda for transforming Guyana in a way that generations of Guyanese have been waiting for. The energy, the gas to shore project, the Amaila Falls to deliver energy at scale using clean and renewable sources, including of course gas as a transitional fuel.
At scale, delivering electricity at the level that is required to facilitate an industrial revolution in Guyana.
Finally, finally, the industrial revolution about [which] foreparents have dreamt of but was unable to realize because of inadequacy and cost of power.
Finally, this Peopleâs Progressive Party government will deliver it and Budget 2022 initiates that delivery,â an impassioned Singh told the House late Friday night.
Boasting about the governmentâs infrastructural projects, the Finance Minister said that in just 18 months in office, the PPP/C government has been able to deliver more roads and bridges than the former administration. He did not stop there but also informed that more highways would be constructed to ease traffic congestion across the country.
âUltimately a brand new highway all the way to Timehri. A new bridge across the Demerara River, a new and expanded highway on the Corentyne, the bridge across the Corentyne River linking us with our neighbours in Suriname expanding the market in which we are operating in,â Singh added.
While outlining the governmentâs agenda for development, Singh told the coalition members that they have failed to adequately address the budgetary allocation and proffer plans and policies to further develop the lives of Guyanese. He said that in the age of technology and the rapid growth Guyana is expected to experience, not only accountability, transparency and good leadership is required but also a robust Opposition.
âOver the last week or last week and I want to say sir at this point in Guyanaâs history and in this modern age of information, in this era when Guyana is going through such a drama rapid and dramatic transformation, sir what we need more than ever before is serious, credible, capable and competent government. No amount of gymnastics and theatrics from the other side will change that fact.
âThe fact of the matter is, but what we were treated to, what we were treated to presentation after presentationâĶthe people of Guyana were reminded of why easier judgment in 2020 was as appropriate as it was. To begin with, the APNU+AFC has a serious problem with credibility,â an unusually boisterous Minister Singh argued before delving into the APNU+AFCâs manifesto and highlighting all it failed to deliver.
Singh also took the Opposition to task over their contention that budget 2022, presented under the theme âSteadfast Against All Challenges, Resolute in Building Our One Guyanaâ, is not catering for the ordinary Guyanese. He argued that if one is to look objectively at the budget and its provisions they would see that every Guyanese it catered for. He highlighted that the $552.9 billion budget provides for the increase in old-age pension and public assistance while providing every school-aged child with $30,000 in cash grants. He furthered that the increase of the income tax threshold would see more disposable income in the hands of citizens.
Oil money
Budget 2022 is the first budget utilizing proceeds from Guyanaâs oil production and Singh took time during his presentation to defend the governmentâs controversial Natural Resource Fund (NRF) Act, which allows for the emptying of the NRF among other things.
âYou see all of this noise that was made about the Natural Resource Fund. You know what the real crux of the matter is? The real crux of the matter is the APNU+AFC and their surrogates want to frustrate development in this country as they have always done,â he said.
He stressed that every withdrawal from the NRF would be subjected to parliamentary scrutiny and appropriation.
Taking a jab at the previous APNU+AFCâs NRF legislation, Singh argued that it violated the Santiago principles which mandate the establishment of a governing board. He argued that the PPP/C will use the oil resources to transform the country so that every Guyanese benefit.

Gas to Shore and Amelia
Amaila Hydroelectric Power project and Gas to Shore are projects that will provide benefit to Guyanese.
Amaila Hydroelectric Power project will be built under the BOOT option -- Build, Own, Operate and Transfer -- whereby the project will be owned and operated by the construction company and then to be transferred to the Guyana government in about 25 years
Gas to Shore has its benefits as outlined in its various reports.

How new is the obsolete Skeldon Factory? The Amaila Power Plant will be obsolete like the VCR or the Sony Walkman in less time.

Perhaps based on your expert world-opinion, thousands of hydroelectric power projects built around the world many years ago are all obsolete and of no further use to the various countries.

Before they waste all that money on Hydro and Gas to shore, they should find a model that makes every Guyanese living on adequate land space and decent housing. Guyana is not even close to industrializtion. Brazil, has power and has an industrial base, yet people are dirt poor. With Guyana's 750,000 people the PPP should estabish a foundation for the citizens and then concentrate on industrialization. Even with employment, many will not have decent lives.
The plans of the PPP is to move ppl away from villages with concentrations in certain parts of Guyana-namely Wales. That will be a Concentration Camp.
