[www.inewsguyana.com] – Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo says that officials from the former People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) administration were aware of an impending collapse of the rice for oil (Petrocaribe) deal that Guyana has with neighbouring Venezuela; but this is being denied by the former government.

On Thursday, news broke that Guyana will no longer be exporting large quantities of rice to Venezuela, sending a wave of concern throughout the rice industry as the collapse signals a certain downturn for the sector, given the fact that rice farmers are fully dependent on the Venezuelan market to export their produce.

Nagamootoo in a statement explained that “it is necessary that it be noted there is documentary evidence that Venezuela’s decision was communicated to former Minister of Agriculture Dr. Leslie Ramsammy, former Minister of Foreign Affairs Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett and Guyana’s Ambassador in Caracas Geoffrey Da Silva

We need a gov't. that can solve problems and improve the lives of people. We don't need extravagance and scapegoating as is the case presently. The coalition is spending most of their time trying to make the outgoing gov't. look bad instead of working to make the economy more efficient and stop the rampant crime that have taken over the country.

That would be difficult to do with 43% of the population. Blacks+Mixed are the majority. "Apaan jaat" is the cry of the new permanent Opposition. "APNU Jaat" is the order of the day.

The PPP will have to sort its internal problems first before they can wage a successful fight against the gov't. Odeen, Ralph, and Vindra are quite vocal about the party's undemocratic super structure. It's time somebody listen before it's too late.
