Here are my reasons why: Despite some of the many wrong things he did as president - he transformed Guyana by giving businesses and citizens the confidence in spending and building the country to what it is today. Confidence is of utmost importance to any economy. He went ahead and build the Providence Stadium that highlighted the spirit of sports and entertainment. The undertaking of the Amelia Hydro-Power Plant was greater than the cost at a time when Guyana's would have enjoyed the benefit of clean and cheaper energy. CJIA is our national gateway and it must be the first impression when citizens and foreigners enter Guyana. Jagdeo scores big but many of those major projects met with challenges from the opposition. There were other important undertakings that were in the works. (Let me add that I remember who were picketing and objecting to his progress. I also know who were making objections to concrete houses vs wood houses).
Despite the unfinished work, Jagdeo raised the standard for Guyana and Guyanese. I hope he can continue his vision through Irfaan Ali to further develop Guyana into a true oil economy country of the future.
