Rohee’s $17.5B budget passed without cuts

…as  AFC withdraws motion

The estimates for the Ministry of Home Affairs were passed without cuts last evening after the seven-seat Alliance for Change (AFC) withdrew its proposal to slash the budget for the Citizen’s Security programme and other critical interventions.
The AFC had proposed to cut $500 million from the Citizen Security Programme, and a further $23 million from other programmes, including so called Justice Houses at which citizens can have NIS and passport issues sorted out.

Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee

The proposed cuts also would have covered funding for a holding house for juvenile delinquents.
AFC leader Khemraj Ramjattan announced that the AFC would not proceed with its cut, but the largest coalition bloc APNU went ahead. However, APNU’s 26 seats in the 65-member House were not enough to stop Rohee’s budget.
The implementation of the three strategic plans will allow for more effective prioritisation in the use of the total sum of $17.5 billion allocated to the sector. Focus will be placed on enhancing physical infrastructure, and providing air, land and water transport and equipment for the sector to carry out its mandate effectively.
With regards to the fight against drugs and piracy, the maritime sector will benefit from greater physical presence of maritime forces with the operationalising of floating bases in Regions Two and Six.
In support of further advancing the capabilities of the safety and security personnel, ranks of the police from the level of constable to assistant commissioner will benefit from mandatory overseas training while fire service personnel will benefit from the new training school.
Furthermore, the Guyana Forensic Science Laboratory will be completed and is expected to become operational in the latter part of the year. This new state-of-the-art laboratory will make a significant impact by providing sound scientific basis for investigations and expert testimony to support the adjudication of cases, and will thus raise the quality of analysis that can be carried out in Guyana to international standards

This goes to show that Rhoee was victimized by the AFC/PNC contingent all along. Why would the AFC who protested against this man with such venom suddenly have a change of heart? Is either bribery pass for their abstinence or they admitted that they were being vindictive all along.

Much needed and long overdue.

When the opposition rejects something from the Govt, you people cry foul, now the Opposition actually accepts something from the Govt and still you goons speak ill of them, shows the real fools here doesn't it?

Rohee's explanantion was acceptable. It's not like before where everything was pushed down peoples' throats. The PPP/C must come to grips that it no longer has the majority and should consult, compromise rather than confront.

 

The implementation of the three strategic plans will allow for more effective prioritisation in the use of the total sum of $17.5 billion allocated to the sector. Focus will be placed on enhancing physical infrastructure, and providing air, land and water transport and equipment for the sector to carry out its mandate effectively.


With regards to the fight against drugs and piracy, the maritime sector will benefit from greater physical presence of maritime forces with the operationalising of floating bases in Regions Two and Six.

Great, no one will dispute that I think. But how is GPL going to provide Services with 5.6 Billion reduction???

Stop rent for generators which is about the equivalent to the cost of acquiring one. GPL is profitable.

It was blackout every day for the last 20 years when they had an unlimited budget so what's the difference.

Are you being facetious? The reason they rented in the first place was because there was no spare capital to pay for the generators outright so they had to lease. A concept not foreign to many who lease cars that they can't afford to buy.

I am not being facetious. I don't expect you to see the paralogistic in your two satements above. The rent is more than what they would pay for a loan to purchase the equipments. But then again you don't understand Cash Flow Mangement in the short term versus Long term. 
You would not undersstand that this is how the PPP/C is able to steal from the tax payers and enrich its cronies.

Then tell us how GPL would pay for generators when they didn't have sufficient cash for the purchase as well as the maintenance plan. And without govt bailout.

In any leasing arrangement, the customer loses much more.

And you added up the cost of the loan payment bill including the servicing cost and determined that it was cheaper than leasing? So why do so many Americans lease a car rather than own it outright? So that they can turn it in at the end of the lease and get a new one, the same with generators which has a limited life span.
