what have they done to "bridge" the differences between the Afros and Indos? How come they they have less than 50% support from the general population? 

Moderator Raymond:

* You have asked 2 very intelligent questions.

* Regarding what the PPP has done to bridge the differences between the afros and indos, you are asking the PPP to do the impossible.

* The PPP cannot heal a fundamental mistrust between the 2 major races in Guyana.

* What the PPP can do however, and what they are doing,  is help foster an environment in Guyana where both groups can experience economic and social betterment.

* There is tremendous work still to be done in Guyana in terms of alleviating poverty and crime, but tiny progress has been made under the PPP in these 2 areas.

RE: THE PPP GETTING LESS THAN 50%

* It comes down to PERCEPTION.

* In the 2011 election 51.4% of Guyanese voters perceived the PPP to be arrogant and corrupt.

* But the PNC only received 40.8% of the votes in 2011----so they could not form the government.

BOTTOM LINE:

* Despite their flaws, the PPP is best suited to move Guyana forward economically and socially.

MAY THE PPP CONTINUE TO BUILD BRIDGES that contribute to economic and social progress and development.

Rev

Rev, you are a congenital liar.

This bridge is not in Guyana.

Rev busted!

Mr. Mitwah:

* Thanks for your contribution to this thread.

* The Rev respects the opinions of those who vehemently disagree with him.

* May the PNC bring joy to your heart Mitwah---maybe a hundred years from now.

* But in the meantime, the PPP will keep building bridges that will propel Guyana forward, while your beloved PNC/AFC will keep building WALLS with the intent of retarding progress in Guyana.

Robeson Benn demolishes Tuschen Kissing Bridge

…attractive but unsafe, illegal – Benn

By Gary Eleazar and Andrunie Harris

Minister of Public Works and Transport, Robeson Benn, when asked to comment on the demolition of the Double Day Hotel’s Kissing Bridge at Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo, said that while the structure is attractive it is unsafe and illegal. As such, according to Benn, it had to be removed and Ministry officials yesterday descended on the structure and commenced the destruction.

One of the demolished structures at Meten-Meer-Zorg

Benn told this newspaper that he had relayed this message to the owner of the hotel Harry Ram Bhola. The Ministry is currently on a campaign to rid the government reserves of all illegal structures. Bhola in an attempt to save his Kissing Bridge at the Hotel on Friday, prepared numerous letters and dispatched them to the Minister of Public Works and Communication; the Ministry of Tourism, Office of the President and Go Invest among others. The bridge was spared then but its fate was sealed in the letter to Tourism Minister, Manniram Prashad, dealing with the flower garden that has already been destroyed: “On this same very month this hotel was commissioned by you and on this same month it has been destroyed. When beauty is lost in business, there is no business. “Sir, everyone should be encouraged to plant beautiful flowers to attract tourism and to beautify this beautiful land of Guyana. Flower is love and when people destroy flowers, there is no love. The President is insisting about low carbon and the other part they are destroying it. In other countries people admire flowers and in our country people are just destroying it.” In his letter to Minister Benn, Bhola stated, “I am wondering if the highway will be 100 feet more wide…I have no problem clearing the parapet edge…But what goes for one goes to all, destroying mine and leave the other business places…I will be very thankful if you look into my problem.” According to Bhola, the entity had written to the relevant Ministry in the past and was in receipt of a verbal agreement by an Engineer with a promise that documentation will follow. Bhola added that the hotel was issued with a notice to remove all structures but insisted that it did not have any structures in the area in question. Rather, he had beautiful flowers that decorated the place. Early yesterday morning, officials from the Public Works Ministry carried out their “duties” and destroyed structures lining bridges leading into the compounds of several residents of the Meten-Meer-Zorg area. The Ministry’s demolition crew swept down on West Coast Demerara, destroying at least two structures on Government reserves. The structures were concrete spindles lining the bridges leading to the compound. One of the home owners of the Meten-Meer-Zorg (MMZ) area, admitted that he was given a warning a month ago to get rid of the structures, and as such, holds nothing against the ministry for carrying out their duties. Another resident of the MMZ area that was subject to the destruction, informed Kaieteur News that men dressed in “reflective vests” arrived, asked no questions and commenced the destruction. He only recognised them as Ministry workers because of the vehicles that they arrived in. According to the residents, the Ministry workers’ operations started at Tuschen and made its way along the West Coast Demerara Public Road and way down to the Meten-Meer-Zorg area. However, while making way back to Georgetown, Kaieteur News reporters observed several of these illegal structures still standing along the Public Road. The Ministry has been on a campaign to remove structures on the government reserves with one such example being that of the K.P. Thomas’ Building located on the Lamaha Street Railway embankment which was halted due to a High Court Injunction. On October 5, last, Ministry officials and employees at the KP Thomas Building squared off that the officials attempted to destroy the building. It was however partially demolished. Government has since defended its decision to demolish the old train station housing K.P Thomas Construction, saying that the “insult has been brought to an end”. According to Government’s spokesman, Dr Roger Luncheon, employees of the company faced health risks while K.P Thomas was “flaunting” its powers hiding behind the law. Announcing that K.P. Thomas’ squatting days are over, the spokesman, at a press conference at the Office of the President, said that all the details of the case will come out in court at the right time. These include whether rent was paid and the number of removal notices served. The company will not be treated any differently from any of the other people who have been squatting on the Railway Embankment Line and who have been removed or agreed to remove. Interestingly, one of the structures that has remained on government reserves is a signboard at the entrance to the Ruimveldt Industrial site. The sign board advertises Guyana Times and Minister Benn, more that a year ago, had said that it would have been demolished.

Works Ministry flattens Double Day Hotel’s ‘Kissing Bridge’

“Wickedness or envy by a Govt. I support”- hotel owner

The final destruction of Double Day Hotel’s ‘Kissing Bridge’ by the Public Works Ministry in February last has left the proprietor, Harryram Bhola, questioning if wickedness or enviousness is the motive. The ‘Kissing Bridge’ spanned a trench about 50 feet from Tuschen Public Road, East Bank Essequibo, was erected in 2008. After one year of helping to create intimate memories for numerous wedding parties the first section of the structure was destroyed by the Public Works Ministry. The public kept using the remainder of the ‘Kissing Bridge’ until February 20, 2012 when a crew from the Ministry returned to the hotel to complete the demolition of the bridge. This occurred one day after Prime Minister Samuel Hinds commissioned a play park opposite the hotel. “The flattening of this beautiful $2.5M ‘Kissing Bridge’ has me wondering if Government is wicked or envious because the Regional Administration didn’t do anything. This structure is not close to the road so I don’t see how it is justifiable to say it is unsafe,” Bhola said. He added, “Sam Hinds come to the opening of my play park that has a library and the next day Public Works come and break down the bridge.” According to Bhola, on both occasions when the structure was destroyed no notice was given. He noted that the explanation given on the first occasion for the demolition of the structure was that it was built close to the road hence unsafe for users.

* THE PPP IS BY NO MEANS PERFECT.

* Some of the BRIDGES they attempt to build will come crashing down.

* But rest assured, the PPP will keep persisting and keep building and rebuilding those bridges until they get it right.

* On the other hand, the opposition PNC/AFC is hell bent on building WALLS----they want to wreck and impoverish Guyana.

* The Guyanese people have a clear choice.

* THEY CAN CHOOSE A BRIDGE(PPP) OR THEY CAN CHOOSE A WALL(PNC/AFC).

Rev

You're giving a crass and tendentious interpretation of what the PNC and AFC are doing.

The WALLS you write about are in your balls.

Clearly, that is where your malicious thoughts originate from, not your head.

You condemn and denigrate the representatives of 51 percent of the population with your simplistic methods of argumentation, designed to appeal to people's baser instincts.

The walls the AFC builds is to prevent corruption from entering society. Kinda like the Great Wall. Go tell the Chinese to break that down.

sure they will keep building bridges,the one their crones getting the contract to build that need rebuilding every 6 months.how about you what kind of bridges you building on GNI with your racist remarks

* As you good folks on GNI may have noticed, the Rev has introduced 2 new METAPHORS to describe the PPP and the opposition PNC/AFC.

* BRIDGES and WALLS.

* Our esteemed moderator Raymond has decreed that he will no longer allow colors or race to be used in discussing Guyana politics.

* The wishes of our esteemed moderator must be respected, and so from henceforth it will be

* PPP BRIDGES versus PNC/AFC WALLS.

* That's CREATIVITY folks.hahaha

* I see it has already pi$$ed off gilbakka---he is fretting and fuming above----that is his problem not the Rev's.

You call that creativity?

How about sleazeballs for the PPP and exterminators for the combined opposition?

Everyone knows the corrupt PPP cabal and their cronies are like greedy termites eating away the edifice that Jagan built.

Gilbakka:

* The Rev prides himself in being a fair man.

* And looking at things from your perspective, I believe your animosity towards the PPP is clearly warranted. You clearly feel betrayed by your former party.

* Having said that, you must accept reality gilbakka.

* And the reality is the PPP will continue to rule Guyana for decades to come.

* You see gilbakka, the good people of Guyana know that the alternative to the PPP will be 10 times more corrupt, unethical and underhanded.

MAY THE PPP CONTINUE TO BUILD BRIDGES WHILE THE PNC/AFC CONTINUE TO BUILD WALLS.

Rev

the ppp have to check their bridges,because they losing support in the indian people.

The Rev has proven himself to be a genuine SKANK.

Mitwah:

* The Rev likes to find the good in people and ignore the bad.

* I'll ignore thatSKANK label---that's the bad in you Mitwah.

* If that's the way you feel about the Rev---that's your REALITY---not the Rev's----hug it up if it makes you feel good about yourself.

* In the meantime----the PPP continues to build BRIDGES and move Guyana forward, while your beloved PNC continues to stumble and blunder.

Rev

Rev,  you are perceived as vain, spoilt and promiscuous person.

Rev, this is the bridge before the PPP/C demolished it.

What goes for one will go for all-Benn

The Kissing Bridge that is still slated for demolition

In an attempt to save his Kissing Bridge at the Double Day Hotel at Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo, Harry Ram Bhola, yesterday prepared numerous items of communication and dispatched them to the Minister of Public Works and Communication; Tourism, Office of the President and Go Invest among others. The bridge was spared yesterday but according to Bhola who spoke to this newspaper later, he managed to make contact with Minister Robeson Benn who told him that what goes for one goes for all as it relates to the clearance of Government reserves. In the letter to Tourism Minister Manniram Prashad, dealing with the flower garden that has already been destroyed: “On this same very month this hotel was commissioned by you and on this same month it has been destroyed. When beauty is lost in business, there is no business. “Sir, everyone should be encouraged to plant beautiful flowers to attract tourism and to beautify this beautiful land of Guyana… Flower is love and when people destroy flowers, there is no love….The President is insisting about low carbon and the other part they are destroying it…In other countries people admire flowers and in our country people are just destroying it.” In his letter to Minister Benn, Bhola stated, “I am wondering if the highway will be 100 feet more wide…I have no problem clearing the parapet edge…But what goes for one goes to all, destroying mine and leave the others business place…I will be very thankful if you to look into my problem.” According to Bhola, the entity had written to the relevant Ministry in the past and was in receipt of a verbal agreement by an Engineer with a promise that documentation will follow. Bhola added that the hotel was issued with a notice to remove all structures but insisted that it did not have any structures in the area in question. Rather, he had beautiful flowers that decorated the place. He said that the subject Minister had even visited the location and had expressed his admiration of what was done but queried if he had gotten permission. The man said that he assured that he related the promise by the engineer. “They came, they did not ask anything; they start to rip out the fence and all the flower plants…They say that they were sent to do that.” The Managing Director of the hotel also pointed out that the persons that showed up from the Ministry yesterday also damaged a walkway that served as an entrance to the hotel. This walkway, he said, was more than 100 feet from the edge of the roadway. Bhola said that the destroyed garden was easily more than given the substantive grooming and maintenance over time.

Works Ministry destroys hotel entrance, garden

The destroyed entrance to the Hotel

By Gary Eleazar The Managing Director of the Double Day Hotel, located at Tuschen on the East Bank of Essequibo, Harryram Bhola, is peeved at the actions of the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works, which visited the establishment and demolished a garden as well as a walkway leading to the entrance of the hotel yesterday.

Rev, the PPP bridge look like a new kissing bridge in the botanical garden. 

Rev, This is what your PPP/C destroyed.

Benn didn't get his cut from the hotel turnover. So he has the bridge demolished for being unsafe. Then his gang leaves the bits and pieces in a dangerous position scattered all over the place.

Rev, look at work of the PPP/C.

HOUSING DEVELOPMENT: MINISTER ANNOUNCES 6000 HOUSE LOTS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED IN 2014

Progress in Guyana continues under the PPP which is building "BRIDGES" while the opposition PNC/AFC is building WALLS.

* This is excellent news for all Guyanese.

* The PPP continues to build "BRIDGES"---there is progress all across Guyana.

PPP GOAT CAN'T SEE BRIDGE YET

DEMERARA WAVES, Feb 4 --- PPP General Secretary Clement Rohee was Tuesday virtually mum on whether government would support opposition-sponsored bills to guarantee them a two-thirds support before they are signed into law by President Donald Ramotar.

Asked whether government would be willing to vote in favour of them, Rohee would only say “I would say when we come to that bridge we will cross it”.

Everyone saying the joint opposition are only there for power, but not the PPP. Who would believe that the PPP don't care about power? I believe they are selling out their constituents just the same as APNU/AFC.

* Listen!

* Every Tom, Dick, Harry, Mary, Jane and Cobra is entitled to his or her opinion.

* NOW PAY ATTENTION.

* The Rev will graphically illustrate the difference between the PPP and the PNC/AFC.

* THIS IS GUYANA UNDER PPP RULE:

* AND THIS WILL BE GUYANA UNDER THE PNC/AFC:

BOTTOM LINE:

* The choice is yours. No one has a gun to your head. If you want progress in Guyana---support the PPP----if you want punishment support the PNC/AFC.

Rev

Now Gilbakka will grin

* Glad the Rev made you grin.

* Listen! We may be polar opposites politically, but that doesn't mean we should harbor any personal animosity---I don't!

* Anyway, Keep slamming the Rev's political views----I'm cool  with that.

Rev

Bridges of Madison County....

bridges are important in building relationships As the movie showed.

He is acting like the dog in the manger.

The sea walls need rebuilding. It is a disgrace that the Rev is confirming in public that the PPP has no intention to do anything about the flooding of the country.

I have busted Rev before. He has no credibility. He lacks integrity and has no shame.
