Presidential Candidate for the People’s Progressive Party Civic, Donald Ramotar and Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, on their walkabout in Linden

The People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPPC) presidential and prime ministerial candidates, Donald Ramotar and Samuel Hinds respectively, in continuing their campaign trail, with a few days left for General and Regional Elections, met with supporters in Linden today.

The candidates, with a large following, marched the streets of the mining town from the Avenue to Main Street, after which they spoke with supporters at Barrow’s Restaurant.

At the meeting, residents along with representatives from the varying religious organisations, expressed their gratitude to the PPPC party for the many developmental changes that have taken place over the years in the mining town, among which are the recent opening of a commercial bank along with a thriving bauxite company and an International Calling Centre, all when combined, offers thousands of Lindeners an opportunity to earn a living thereby contributing to the economic and social wellbeing of their families and society.

The PPP/C came in for high praises for its contributions to the continued advancement of the mining town and its environs from 1992 to present.

Speaking to the supporters, both Ramotar and Hinds pledged their continued support to the further development of Linden as it has now become the major transshipment hub for goods and services, commuters and business people en route to Northern Brazil via the Linden- Lethem road.

Ramotar said that if he wins the presidency, during his tenure, closer ties with religious organisations will be established, as they play an integral role in the creation of strong moral support in any society. “This is needed now in Guyana more than ever,” Ramotar said.

Alluding to the fact that there is widespread racial harmony in the country now under the PPPC government, Ramotar said that “this harmony must be maintained at all costs,” while urging the party’s Linden supporters to ignore those that say this does not exist.

“The most important achievement the PPPC government has caused the country to realise, which no one can put a price tag to, is the freedom that was re-established in Guyana, so that everyone should have a right to speak their minds, without looking over their shoulders out of fear that someone may ostracize them,” Ramotar said.

It is because of this continued freedom that unity will abound for the continued development of Guyana, which ultimately will see Linden benefitting.

“With the establishing of an all-weather road, trade and other business activities in the community will increase, thereby causing the community to be rapidly transformed,” Ramotar said.

As the candidates continued their sojourn in Linden, interacting with residents, they met with more supporters who were gathered at the Watooka Guest House.

Hinds said that over the years, Guyana has been tremendously transformed, as the country was in deep debt, a situation which no longer exists. He added that its Gross Domestic Product has significantly increased as, “today, even as I speak to you, Guyanese have three times as much money as they had in 1992, a sure sign of transformational development.”

This Hinds said is largely the result of Guyanese coming together and executing a number of developmental plans and policies of the PPPC government, which has resulted in a complete turnaround for bettering the lives of all Guyanese.

He also alluded to the fact that the freedom that was once fought for “by our Guyanese forefathers” has been accomplished under this regime and now citizens are enjoying their rights of having a wide range of services such as access to quality education and health care available to them, both on the coast and in the hinterland.

Ramotar should be tarred and feathered and chased out of Linden. What an insult to us Guyanese who have endured democratic freedom since independence from the British Empire. It was not achieved under the PPP regime. In fact, the PPP regime wanted Guyanese to bow to communism, a far cry from democracy.

Does this mining town have the potential to become a city? There is an industry there to support a large community and a future highway to Brazil going through this town could provide more economic opportunities.
