LGE results a foretaste of what is to come in 2020

Dear Editor,
Somewhere in one of the dailies the question was asked, are we getting a new or a renovated airport? The article went on to explain why Guyana was about to get a spruced up or renovated old airport, reasons being, it bears no resemblance to that ultra-modern facility inked by the former Administration. That airport most certainly, would have been completed within 32 months had the People’s Progressive Party/Civic been in office. However, what we see is a coalition Government that cannot get anything right – they are into a fourth year of their governance. To top it off, more money had been expended, and maybe millions more, yet that “brand new second hand” airport cannot meet a completion date, unbelievable! Is this a Government that anyone can place their trust in? I would hastily respond with a resounding no!
Now, I would bring into focus the East Bank Demerara highway that goes along with this airport modernisation. This too cannot get off the ground, so to speak, with the latest report of the simple construction of a roundabout at the Timehri Junction becoming a stumbling block to further progress there. These and other lame excuses, too numerous to mention, are the order of the day when you analyse the performance of this People’s National Congress-led coalition Government.
Other major projects like the East Coast Highway, which should have been completed up to its proposed location at Belfield, is also another eyesore backwardness that will never see completion. So, the question comes back again – what has this coalition Government achieved by way of major projects? And the answer comes back very little if anything at all.
We are talking about millions of dollars in spending and millions more to be spent, can this Government get it right? Seems not! In 2015, I am sure Guyanese were looking forward to an Administration that in all fairness said it was going into office to make that all important change; however, what change was actually effected? The change we have witnessed so far is a Government that has enriched itself two months into existence and is right now showing its gross incompetence in getting the people’s business right. No wonder the last Local Government Election gave them the shocking reminder that we are not going to put up with this nonsense any longer.
So, come 2020 or before, the people of this country will continue that pattern of rebuke when an outright rejection would be in place.

Respectfully,
Neil Adams
