The People Progressive Party – does it really care?

“Because we care”, Guyana has not had local government elections in the last twenty years under the PPP/C leadership and their continuous shenanigans with GECOM suggest we are far from likely seeing any under their leadership should they remain in power.

This same ‘caring’ government is denying us of our democratic right to have a say in our welfare and maintenance of our various towns and villages, and at the same time depriving youths from having experience in this voting process or taking up active leadership positions in their respective communities.

The incentives to public servants remain stagnant year after year and only a 5% increase in salary is offered by this same ‘caring’ government. So despite the boasting of Guyana’s economic growth from 1992, the PPP/C still has the present workforce working for a next-to-nothing salary while the relatives of Government Ministers and high officials and they themselves enjoy super salaries.

The ‘caring’ PPP Government does not care enough to establish things like tax reduction for single parents with more than three children. Instead, a minute initiative of a ten thousand-dollar education grant per public school student for the entire year will be granted. This cannot cover even one month’s expense for a single-parent to keep that child in school, to feed that child or ensure that child has a proper education. Some textbooks cost as much as $10,000.

Then again there are various levels of caring. Our young people are left without a national youth policy even though it is promised to us in the PPP/C manifesto every election. The welfare of our youths becomes debatable as they are being gunned down, sexually assaulted, and fashioned into poverty.

Our Health and Education ministries fail to establish solutions for the increase in teenage pregnancy and suicide. Our Minister of Youth, Culture and Sport seems lost when it comes to his role in youth development.

The level of our state health care becomes questionable as our maternal deaths and suicide rates increase. The Minister of Health is unprepared to accept findings of such results by the WHO. Our health care system is not prepared to educate Guyanese on the Chikungunya and Ebola viruses properly.

Because they care, our roads, bridges and kokers will be built to last for short periods only because it seems like Guyanese don’t really deserve the best for their taxpayer dollars.

Instead of having foreign companies bringing in their people to construct projects such as the Marriott Hotel, they should make it mandatory for these companies to hire Guyanese workers.

Instead of actually caring for the citizens of Guyana, the PPP/C is more concerned about their pockets and themselves.

Had they truly cared they would have used the 2011 elections result to establish a government from all three parties for the betterment of all Guyanese. They would drop their ideologist attitude of winner-takes-all and come to a compromise with the opposition on certain issues for the sustainable development of this country.

If this is what a caring government looks like after twenty-two years, Guyana is definitely ready for a change from the continuous stagnation.
