What a rotten bunch in the opposition.

I have said time and again that the government should have left Nigel in the interior and let the AFC take care of him.

A bunch of Neemakharams exist in the the AFC/PNC.

What 'sizable sum' you talking about.

Compared that to the sperm bank spending and millions for mansions.

You want to provide figures compared to that spent on PPP ministers and families ?

How many in the opposition took private jet for belly wuk treatment in Florida, when they are not in the government any more ?

You  rass want the PPP to continue dem thiefing,  while most Guyanese continue struggling  to make ends meet.

Conscio, give us some figures na, compared to ppp ministers/families 'medical' spending.

Make sure you come back wid dem figures, you hear.... 

While you are providing some of the info,post the

amount spent on opposition members and the ruling

party members so we can make a comparison,i do

hope you are privy to such information.

Bhai you are ahead of me,i ask for the info,bet you

he gun run and hide.

Like all dem adda PPP 'hot-air posters' with lots of talk, but no action, just like de PPP government.

But dem good at enriching themselves, while other Guyanese continue to struggle.  

They can talk the talk,but can't walk the walk.

Conscience, feel free to tell us how much the government spent to cover opposition politicians' medical bills.

The point is a simple one. The PPP regime has consistently boasted about its development of the health sector, yet people have to seek treatment overseas.

Not only that, while the lower classes are granted minimum financial assistance, the ruling class gets the hog's share of the funds.

We must not forget, also, that Varshnie Singh saved the lives of dozens of Guyanese children by taking them to India for heart treatment. She had to raise funds through her Sick Kids Foundation and when she sought government assistance to help pay outstanding medical bills, the government grudgingly provided a token amount to save face. She had no choice but to close down her Foundation, a felt loss to the poor.

In the interest of full disclosure, the government should release all spending on government officials ( administration + opposition) for the fiscal years routinely. That however, it the point. It is not that the opposition may have benefited but that the inordinately huge sums doled out by the administration to all and sundry within the scope of friends, family and familiars that is the problem.

Add to the the onerous problems critical patients faced when trying to get aid for issues from dialysis to eye surgery to bypass surgery. They usually suffer the fate of the destitute and die or are left maimed by their disease.

Lets not make political hay with this. Publish the records of spending; let us determine the percentage of the allocations for assistance that foes to the fat cat elites and what goes to the ordinary man. At the moment that looks like, as usual, the citizens whose money is being spent, gets shunted to the garbage pile.
