Excerpts  from Stabroeknews

It is good that the AFC boys are bringing up these shortcomings. Too long has the pPP been comfortable squandering the taxpayers money on projects. A higher level of accountability is needed. However the question remains, should the AFC or PNC ascend to power would they be able to manage the tax payers money any better? The PNC have already proven that they are not up to the task. The AFc are the new kids on the block hungry for power. But let us not close our eyes to the fact that opposition throughout the world traditionally point out faults during election campaigns but turn around and have the same faults when they ascend to power. To build proper roads for a variety of traffic requires great expense. The govt of Guyana has been purposely spending small amounts of money on roads to maintain infrastructure but not to necessarily build roads to last forever. In fact no road last for ever, once a road is built, it requires periodic maintenance and management of weight class of vehicles.  

Keep up the GOOD work. Taxpayers Monies are precious. I wish the Opposition were doing this 20 years ago. This is hoe DEMOCRACY works BEST.

I strongly support the PPP but commend the AFC for pointing out weaknesses that exists. This is how you keep any government on their toes. Gerhard should have been a better leader of the opposition, not that the Fleece RUMjattan. Let us call a spade a spade.

Thanks bro.  I will.

Thank you Nehru.

For what it is worth, thank you.  However, you have got Ramjattan totally wrong. And your comments are unfair, particularly since without Ramjattan, I would not have had a political career of this magnitude.  There is much I learnt from him on both political and personal levels.  He has always been kind to me, ready to take my calls at any hour, to give advice, to give his legal services.  Prak never took a cent from me.

Quote Yugi 22 :I strongly support the PPP but commend the AFC for pointing out weaknesses that exists.

Let us call a spade a spade.

My friend Ramjatan is a Leader......

Ralph Ramkarran is a Looser (and follower of Jagdeo)

Let us call a spade a spade.

In addition, the new income tax thresholdhas been set at $50,000, up from $40,000

Another AFC proposal another win for the people

Gerhard, you are welcome. As much as we may differ politically, you honestly have Guyana dear to your heart. I am of the opinion that AFC was elected to bring a balance and honesty in parliament.

I hope that you get a seat in parliament some day. Do not allow partisan politics to cloud your judgment. Keep em honest but remain objective and honest in your reports and analysis. Who knows, the future holds good for those who are honest.

Thank you yuji22.  This is much appreciated.

Indeed, Pointblank!

So you see, the Govt IS consulting and listening to the Opposition. Guyana, THE MOST DEMOCRATIC GOVT on the Planet.
