OK Folks!
Radio Guyana recently conducted man on the street interviews with a wide cross section of Guyanese living in Guyana.
The main question asked was:
Do you feel that the opposition parties in Guyana, APNU and the AFC, are ready to lead Guyana from the executive branch ?
BELOW ARE COMMENTS MADE BY GUYANESE:
* CAROLYN MATHURIN: "Well I voted for APNU in the last election. I thought Mr. Granger would be a good president. But apnu lost and I must say I am disappointed with Mr. Granger as opposition leader. It seems as if the AFC and Mr. Ramjattan are running things in parliament. I would like to see more leadership from Mr. Granger and APNU parliamentarians, but instead AFC seem to be in control and Mr. Granger is just following what Mr. Ramjattan, Mr. Nagamootoo and the AFC is proposing. I will vote for APNU and Mr. Granger in the next election. But I hope he stop following AFC and start leading on his own."
* SHEIK INSANNALY: "I have been disappointed with both the AFC and APNU in parliament. They are in the majority, but we have not seen anything substantive from them. They seem to view their role as opposing every proposal put forward by the PPP. The Guyanese people are paying attention and many are displeased with the opposition performance in parliament."
* ROOPNARINE MAHABIR: "Right now the country doing good. The AFC and APNU politicians will tell we them can do better running the country than the PPP. But them lie. What them can probably do better than the PPP is thief more than the PPP. We all know APNU can thief. When the PNC run Guyana, them bankrupt the country. Them thief so much them bankrupt the country. And regarding the AFC, them lawyers in that party them gon be the biggest thief."
* DONALD TROTZ: "It pains me to see how wealthy PPP politicians have become while their party controls the executive branch. Guyana is doing well, but this is not because of the PPP. I would like to see the PNC given a next chance to run Guyana. I don't trust the AFC. The lawyers in that party are a bunch of opportunists. They will be bigger thieves than the PPP politicians. Mr. Granger is a man of integrity. He should be given a chance to run the country."
MANNIRAM JAIGOBIN: "Under the PPP we have more land under cultivation. We have more mining of our resources. We have more technology. We have more schools. We have more hospitals and clinics. Guyana doing good. Them scamps in the AFC and PNC, all them want is power and them want to full them pockets. Let them stay right there in parliament, talking shyt all the time. I will vote for the PPP again.
