Diaspora investors impatient as Govt yet to create climate for business

I think, any government, past or present do not know of the preparations to attract investors. It does not matter whether it is Guyanese of all races or Foreigners, investment follows a scientific method. Guyanese Politicians preferr AID rather than collecting taxes from businesses. Suh, why do anything to foster employment for the citizens. Poverty attracts International Aid, easy money to squander and syphone off.

Go-Invest have idiots. And the PPP time, they also staff the Agency with Idiots. 

I always apply for a job with them. Ofcourse I never get it. And is not a Blackman against Cooolie thing. The PPP never gave me the job either, and this was under the government of Dr. Jagan himself. He gave the job to a woman who was excellent on theoretical applications of attracting investors.

Entreperneurs doan have time for all the niceties, they want results in the shortest possible time. The government needs to know that and implement the initiatives to guide the efforts of the person with the ideas.

The PPP were too caught up with the Chinese, Russians and other foreign big wigs to care about the expat investors.  The PNC on the other hand don't know their mouth from their arse. All they know is how to collect taxes and squeeze the people for every dime.

Granger et al try the Blacks like CaribJ and D2 but they duck when he ask for investors. D2 dollar store empire could not be replicated in Guyana and CaribJ, well he is all mouth but no action. 

Now they try the Indians who are willing and able, needless to say the pnc incompetent lot did not follow through on promises and did not even follow up with the potential investors after jubilee sport up. 

 

 I thought you said I was white!!! And you still persist in living in your mind by imagining me with a dollar store. As I said often, I would not mind owning one but it would have to be given to me because. My life's trajectory is completely different than entrepreneurialship.

I also thought you and the rest of the PPP hive insist the APNU want nothing to do with indians? And of course the black man is hapless not counting the only thing the PPP ever did for us is stuck us with 1.2 billion in loans, every industry failed, a raging drug culture fueling a massive underground economy and whose main business was laundering cash in selling used products, cheap Chinese products and seconds  and discontinued or close to use date products from  USofA.

I do not doubt the APNU is finding it difficult to raise capital and mobilize the society to productive enterprise. 23 Years of do nothing is hard to move.

The blame should fall squarely on the shoulders of the Prime Minister.  The economy is a part of his portfolio.

Granger is walking in big shoes. Let's give him another three years to balance himself. He is old in age and but a spring chicken when it comes to building a nation. Never expected better of him, so I am not surprised.

The Prime Minister wants 300,000 Guyanese to go back home and invest in the national development program.  It is up to Guyana to take back their country.

The PM is out of touch with reality. 

Many here on GNI were bragging and boasting last year when the PNC hosted this conference for investors.  From day one, any fool could have predicted that this was a waste of taxpayers money.  This event will be recorded in history as the most stupid group of people ever to have assembled at the Harvard Club. The naivety of some abbey Guyanese people never cease to amaze me.

PNC can only bray just like their leader Jackass Granger who went to England to bray more nonsense.

All that the PNC can do is talk and talk is cheap.

He'd be lucky if he gets 3. He can remove the trailing 5 zeroes.

Bibi,

I was out there by the Harvard Club.  I saw a dutty-foot Guyanese boy with a television camera standing outside. Nothing came out of it.  Investors have no interest in a country run by idiots.

This is still true, a black man in a white skin. You wanted to be black so bad that you left U of T and downgraded to Howard.

The only good Indian to the PNC is an Indian who they can rob. 

The PPP debt load was manageable due to the fact the it was to finance development. The current PNC debt is to finance 50% raises, sporting, back balling and fat cat salaries in SARA. 

Your PNC said they had the answers and were given a flush coffer of cash reserves. What they did with it was to fill their pockets with 50% raises and sport on jubilee. 

Squandermania was a popular word used to describe the PNC during the days of Burnham.  Is it any different today? Granger and his goverment and governing partners have already convinced us that they have nothing innovative for Guyana's economy. What they are doing is just what they did in the past. Why should people put up with a government that is taking us backward instead of forward?  We need new ideas. 

The problem is that they took an old army man with a bunch of lawer crooks and decided to run a country.  These jackasses don't have a clue about how to grow an economy. They only know to tax and spend.

Yes that too, forgive me for my oversight.  Maybe if we can find a way to make a profit and bring in foreign exchange from their wine down skills, we could bottle it and this could be Guyana's new export. 

The desporados should be horse whipped for supporting the AFC/PNC.

Those are the idiots who voted for The Don, who alone can fix the American problems.
