What grave?  Have a look at the economic indicators and you will see that you are spreading propaganda.  But then again that's what agents do.

So if the indicators are so strong what did they do with all the money now that the treasury is nearly $100B overdrawn?

Minister of Business, who is the person. Anybody knows. That person have the task of creating 50,000 jobs, as promised.

Good mixture. I hope to see some members of the smaller parties appointed to visible positions too.

Nice young promising crowd appointed ministers today. Good riddance to the Coalition Geriatric Posse.

They put the treasury in $100B deficit building roads, etc.?

Is Vikram Bharrat going to start renegotiating those Exxon contracts?

I'm surprised by the appointments of Priya and Ramson. Quite frankly, its a downgrade for both, given their 'skillsets'. Interesting.

So now you are advocating ageism.  Discrimination on any ground other than merit is unacceptable.

That would be nice but it's against Party's policy.

It doesn't matter what Dr Ali and the PPP do they will NEVER please the PNC Cabal on this board, so bray all you want.

Minister of Finance, anyone?

Dr Bharat Jagdeo.

Although it is more to do with preference than discrimination the Coalition Geriatric Posse was grossly incompetent which made them unacceptable to the Guyanese voters in March.

What is social protection? Is it like protecting people at weddings and kangan?

What finance experience does he have? Do tell. Thanks!

Dr Bharat Jagdeo.

I think so too. The man brought Guyana out of debt before and it needs to be brought out of debt again (after the Coalition's gross mismanagement of the past 5 years) so he is the ideal person for the job.

Yes

Not a chance in hell--Exxon's hand has been strengthened considerably by the fraudulent election of the PPP.

Did I hear right? Jagdeo is the Minister of Finance?  If true, that was always the plan --to get control of the money so that the Prodoville boys and girls could live off the Guyanese treasury while the working people starve.  Let's see if they open the sugar estates or give dem chupid coolie canecutters cheap rum and malathion.

When was Guyana ever out of debt?  You've got to be kidding.

The swearing-in ceremony has concluded without a Minister of Finance appointed.

He was Finance Minister before he became President.

You and Totaram are asking a lot of stupid questions.

You are behaving like an ass. Unlike the PNC the PPP has plans to develop the country.  Jagdeo is the best Finance Minister Guyana ever had.
