PPP will keep its promises – Ali

January 27, 2019

The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) will keep its promises to the people of Guyana. That assurance was made by the party’s presidential candidate Irfaan Ali on Saturday where thousands of Berbicians turned up at Port Mourant to greet him.
“The PPP has a track record of delivering on its promises,” he told the thousands assembled at the Train Line Dam, Port Mourant.
On Saturday, Ali spoke of several promises which the coalition had made while on the campaign trail in 2015, but which failed to materialise. Among them were the creation of jobs, opportunities for young people, and that they were not going to close sugar estates.
On the contrary to those promises made to the residents of Region Six, the Government once elected moved to close down sugar estates, causing thousands of workers to fall onto the poverty line.
“We will reopen the sugar estates, so that there will be more disposable income. That is a promise that I am making to you and you know that the PPP has a track record of keeping its promises. We are not like ‘this Government’, that makes a promise and then go and do the opposite. What did they tell the sugar workers? What did they tell the rice farmers? The Public Servants were given some promises and the Government has now distanced itself from those promises,” Ali said to the thousands of upbeat supporters.

“You will see a government that will develop special policies and programmes that will deal directly to the problems of every Region. Just like we implemented a special bill that brought in incentives for investment in Region Ten, we will bring special bills and legislation and implement policies that will create incentives for businesses to invest in Region Six so that we can create new jobs and new opportunities here in Region Six.”
Ali promised a positive turnaround in the economy of Region Six when the PPP returns to office. He said this will be possible while urging that everyone ensure they go out and vote on Election Day.
“All this Government has done is to take away from the people. They have brought on over 200 new taxes and new fees that have affected your ability to purchase; your ability to participate in the economy because you simply do not have the disposable income,” he said.
“Taxes have been increased and included on water, education and medical supplies,” the presidential candidate related while noting that the fees to lease Government land have gone up by 1200 per cent.
“We are in the process of developing our manifesto, and you know, Comrades, when the People’s Progressive Party promises you something in our manifesto, we stick by that promise and we fulfil that promise and that is why the first thing that we are saying to you is that we are going to reopen the sugar estates in Region Six,” the 38-year-old said.
Ali added that compensation will be given to those families whose lives were destroyed at the hands of the present Government when they snatched their livelihood by closing the estates.

“We must and we will do it. We had told the Government that they cannot make a decision about sugar without a social and economy study because sugar is linked to every aspect of life in some Regions.”
In Region Six, he noted many businesses are closing their doors while others are downsizing because persons lost their jobs.
“People have lost their income so how is it that they are going to shop in the stores, supermarkets, and markets.”
The drainage and irrigation system are linked to the sugar industry. With the closure of the Skeldon Estate, rice and cash crop farmers on the Corentyne are being affected because irrigation and drainage. Those systems are becoming clogged.
“The industry supported auxiliary services like mechanical engineering as well as gave support to private cane farmers. The industry supported a system that brought economic benefits to all of Region Six.”
Meanwhile, while thanking his colleagues for the trust which they showed in him, the presidential candidate told the thousands that the Party’s General Secretary is recognised internationally.
“He is an international asset. We should be proud in the PPP that he is our leader. We have to use this asset as much as possible and as long as possible. I commit to you that I will take his counsel. We are a united party,” Ali said before he left the stage. (Andrew Carmichael)

Back in the days the PPP used to use state resources to bus supporters in for their rallies. Do they still have the use of those resources? 😀

some retrenched sugar workers would be compensated and the two East Berbice sugar estates – Skeldon and Rose Hall-Canje – would be reopened.

He rass better keep this promise. Over 2000 witnesses. Hope they can consolidate the laborers who want to work in the sugar industry. There was a shortage of cane cutters in Skeldon. Some people did not want to do hard labor. I hope they have learnt their lessons. Let's hope for the best if they win.

Bai Ksz in those early days politicians were mostly hungry for power. Now they get smarter. Along with the power they now realise that they can steal money and land too

True. That is why I like this quote best, “politics is who gets what, when and how”, Harold Lasswell. 😀

Politics is about power...and how the powerful chooses to rent or lend their power....

Dem PNC bais better start showing respect. Ali is a tougher than Jagdeo. He will buss the PNC balls and put it in their hands.

PPP campaign has taken off while the PNC, Shoeman and the ANUS party are still inflating damaged tires.

I will have the honour of meeting President Ali and Gail on Feb 01.

Pay these former sugar workers and put them to work. Let them plant coconuts for export, start cow farming and start a powdered milk manufacturing facility so that they can work, construct a cement making facility, put them to manage small hydro plants, nail and zinc making facilities and learn to construct small houses.

The man is not president, you shouldn't be calling him as such, it just dilutes discussion and reflects arrogance.

Going forward, he will be addressed as Future President or President in waiting. This will calm down the slop can crew.

At this moment, the PNC suppose to resign and if they don't ,then they are an illegitimate government occupying parliament. The PNC is no different than Mudoro of Venezuela, the opposition leader is recognized by the free world as the president. Similarly , President Irfan Ali is the New President of Guyana, if you doubt me, ASK Yuji.

What an ignorant dick! There is a one in ten chance that any of us could be victim to the disease so being crass and nasty on this issue simply magnifies your stupidity.
