Guyana faces serious challenges in the medium term and to aggressively alleviate poverty we must:

 

Firstly, reverse the low growth rates of the last decade.  That requires incentivising the private sector to become the engine of growth and stop all these wild state investment in project feasible for private sector intervention such as the Marriot Hotel.

 

Second, complete reconstruction of the key infrastructure deficiencies that were highlighted by the 2005 flood  - yes we must complete the Hope Canal ON TIME and IN BUDGET.

 

This canal is right now running over time, not to engineering specs and running over budget and is shaping up to be an act of mass squander-mania.

 

We should be investing heavily in the productive capacity of the nation such as launching a full technical commission of inquiry into Guysuco, the functioning of MMA and all other state institutions that are hampering the productive capacity of the nation.

 

Third, create a business-friendly and politically stable environment that will attract direct foreign investment and stem the migration of its entrepreneurs and professionals.

 

This clearly means TRIPARTITE TALKS, POLITICAL NEGOTIATION, MATURE LEADERSHIP.

 

What the PPP must recognize is that is they continue to play to the gallery and pretend that they are still the majority, Guyana shall not progress. 

 

A SPADE MUST BE CALLED A SPADE.  Politically Guyana has a majority in opposition and a minority in the executive and thee two centres of political power must find a mechanism to "DANCE TOGETHER IN THE NATION'S INTEREST".

 

It will mean the PPP cannot operate as if they have a majority and it does mean that the PPP must call off its DOGS OF WAR in the news media and stop assassinating the character of the opposition politicians.  Latest victim was Gerhard Ramsaroop.  How will they be able to motivate Gerhard as an example to sit with them and mold the nation?

 

Overcoming these challenges is integral to the nation's capacity to meet its poverty reduction and MDG commitments.

Alleviation of poverty is critical for the development of any nation, this is obvious.  The AFC have good plans in the AP however, I think too much, and unrealistic, promises will lead to disappointment.  In the end, hand-in-hand with education/skills improvement, there must be security and stability.

 

Businesses will need to invest and be successful to convert the people's education/skills into value.  However, let's be real, the AFC will not win, the PNC will not win, it's the PPP who will form the next Govt.  The hateful radical stance of the AFC and the gun-to-head MO of the PNC will not bring about the stability needed.  If they wish to have a positive and meaningful impact on the nation, they need to drop their stance and behave more pragmatic and accommodating.  The people who turned away from the PPP last time do not take kindly to the threats and bullyism being displayed by the opposition against members of the PPP.

 

You guys here and VERY naive to think that the Indian masses are not very concerned about the return of the PNC and the messaging of the AFC.  You all are way way out in left field and you are viewed as an mere instrument.  Nothing the PPP has done in error compares to the oppression, enslavement and brutality brought to bear by the PNC on the Indian masses.  This must NEVER again be accommodated.

Baseman bhaiji:

 

are you not being to harsh on the AFC?

 

In the last sitting of parliament, the votes was for the line item  - 36 votes, against 25 votes.

 

The some of the AFC members voted with the PPP.

 

So as Ramjattan said when he find the PPP doing good, he will vote with them.

 

He has also allowed Cathy Hughes and Trevor Williams to vote with the PNC.

 

What greater democracy can we ask for.

 

The PPP is the most powerful political force they GOT TO MAKE the first move.

 

Did you not hear MOSES NAGAMOOTOO said now is the TIME TO TALK.

 

WHAT MORE CLEAR MESSAGE YOUR BAMSIE BOYS AND DUCKS NEED?

The United States is the richest country on the planet, yet 50 million Americans live in poverty---they cannot afford to put food on the table---they depend on food stamps to feed themselves.

 

Guyana in the 1970s and 80s was a bankrupt, poverty stricken country. Since the PPP took over the leadership of the country they have made significant strides to improve the lives of Guyanese.

 

* EDUCATION---hundreds of new schools have been built across Guyana---particularly in the hinterland region---education improves the lives of people.

 

* HEATH CARE---numerous heath care facilities have been built all across Guyana---a healthy population is a more productive population.

 

* ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT---in every community, in every region of Guyana you see new development---construction is booming---businesses are booming

 

* FOREIGN INVESTMENT----foreign investors have found Guyana to be investor friendly---2 huge gold mining projects will come on line soon.

 

* GROWTH---while many countries have been struggling economically the past few years---Guyana has had positive growth rates.

 

 

CONCLUSION:

 

Guyana is a country on the move---yes, poverty exists---just like poverty exists in the wealthy US of A---but on the whole Guyana is doing well.

 

There is no need for tripartite discussions---such discussions are a waste of time---the PPP ought to continue doing what it has been doing.

Good luck to you Rev.  When the pressure pot boil over, who stand to lose most?

 

Indo-Guyanese business people.

 

Tripartite talk is vital and necessary to keep the peace.

 

Unless peace is not what you are after!

Listen Devin!

 

If those clowns in the PPP, PNC and AFC---the politicians--- get out of the way there is little limit to what the Guyanese people, and especially the business sector, can accomplish.

 

ANY TRIPARTITE DISCUSSION IS A WASTE OF TIME!

 

Only dimwits and simpleons will call for tripartite discussions---and President Ramotar will be a fool to engage in future tripartite discussions.

 

RAMJATTAN, MOSES, GRANGER & CO. WANT POWER NOT PEACE & PROSPERITY.

 

Anyway, thanks to the business sector and foreign investors Guyana is on the right track--the country is moving forward----and the PPP must be commended for their efforts in health care and education.

Every Guyanese knows PPP politicans have enriched themselves.

 

Barath Jagdeo, Robert Persaud, Irfaan Ali, Clement Rohee, etc, etc---they all enriched themselves---but they were smart----they covered their tracks well---and after a year controlling parliament---the PNC/AFC coalition have not been able to pin any charges on wealthy PPP politicians.

 

BOTTOM LINE:

 

When Burnham and company enriched themselves in the 70s and 80s---they left the country decrepit and bankrupt---the PPP politicians have enriched themselves---but the country is still thriving.

 

LOOKS LIKE THE PPP POLITICIANS ARE MORE SKILLFUL THIEVES THAN THE PNC.hahahaha
