That's how corruption works. The budget is allocated and then a large part is syphoned off. The remainder is used to pretend that something is being done. Look at the road to nowhere. Barbers know about cutting hairs. They know nothing about cutting a road through the thick Guyanese jungle. But such major details escape the PPP when allocating funds and "awarding contracts".

Look at your own lady Haw-Haw performance on GNI. Because you can string two letters together you get paid for pretending to be an intelligent communicator of government propaganda. You could feed and cloth the average Guyanese village with that money instead.

Stop. Stop with the bullshit. You know what you saying is bull and we know what you saying is bull. So stop.

The PPP didn't even have fair and free election WITHIN their party to choose a leader. FAGDEO handpicked Ramotar. So if you don't even have evenhandedness in your own damn party you won't have it with strangers. So stop your bullshit.

We have to invest in our people – President at One Stop Shop

December 4, 2012, By Latchman Khamraj -- Source - GINA

 

The Government’s philosophy of investing in people, the most important factor for development continued today with 800 houselots up for allotment at Herstelling, East Bank under the Ministry of Housing’s One Stop Shop.

 

The allocation of lots today valued at $1.2M to $2.5M targeted persons with high income ranges from $140,000-$600,000 given the area’s location to gated communities, the capital and the Guyana National Stadium at Providence.

pull the number for his houselot in the new Herstelling

housing scheme

 

Applicants were encouraged not to procrastinate, but build expeditiously and avoid the penalty of repossession which is being imposed by the Ministry of Housing for landholders who for years have not begun construction.

 

President Donald Ramotar who witnessed the exercise at the Guyana National Stadium, spoke with understanding, about the appreciation of having to own a home for the first time, especially for those who endure the burdens of living in rented apartments or homes.

 

“Having a home of your own provides an enormous amount of feeling of security and a feeling of contentment and a more settled mind, and it gives our people dignity too,” President Ramotar said.

 

The 2006 manifesto of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) promised new housing schemes across Guyana, improved and accelerated distribution of titles and affordable mortgage financing.

housing scheme

 

By the year 2009 almost all of these promises were delivered and the target which was set for the Housing Ministry to deliver house lots has been surpassed. By August 2011 the Ministry completed allocations of more than 18,000 house lots.

 

Commercial banks like the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI), Republic Bank, Citizens Bank have made mortgage financing reasonable allowing applicants the means to repay at a rate that is often below what they are paying to rent.

 

It has been the philosophy that has influenced major investments in the social sector like water where Water Treatment Plants have been established in various parts of the country, some of which have allowed communities to access potable water for the first time.

The Government’s belief of investing in people has resulted in the construction of new schools, especially those in the hinterland with dormitories, a school uniform and feeding programme and new hospitals with qualified Guyanese doctors.

 

“It’s not easy for a poor country to find all these resources to do all the things we want to do,” President Ramotar said although satisfied that the investments are paying off with Guyana topping the Caribbean Examination Council level this year.

PREZZY seh we have to invest in our people.  Bang on we like that.

But why did he not invest in sugar workers and public servants by offering them 10% across the board like Mr. Moses Nagamootoo is calling for?

WORDS, WORDS, WORDS.

POOR DONALD, CAUGHT IN Jughead JUGAGDEO SPIDER WEB.

Workers must demand 10% wage increase

Statement by Moses V. Nagamootoo
AFC‘s Vice-Chairman/Parliamentarian

It was with utter disappointment that I learned that GAWU has surrendered on the fight for a living wage in the sugar belt by accepting a 5% pay rise in the absence of no production bonus.

Moses Nagamootoo

Sugar workers should note that mine workers in South Africa have just won pay rises between 1% and 22% plus bonuses.
The cost-of-living and Inflation have gone up by almost 5% this year, so that the increase is zero. Rather than feeling the groans in the bellies of sugar workers, the union backed down from its 10% bluff, and bowed to what it described as realities facing GuySuCo.
What realities? Is the union referring to the reality that GuySuCo has not reduced the cost of producing sugar from 17 cents to an average of 9 cents a pound through sheer mismanagement, incompetence and poor investment? Is the union talking about the “reality” that average cost of production went up to 19 cents a pound in spite of some $47 billion being pumped into the new Skeldon sugar factory?
