“One Guyana” was visualised to foster prosperity within the country – Minister Parag

The concept of “One Guyana”, which was formulated by President Dr Irfaan Ali, was built on the strong foundation of fostering prosperity among the people of this country, and is
aimed at implementing activities to bring Guyanese together in ways they can all benefit, despite their ethnicity or religion.
This was robustly asserted by Local Government and Regional Development Minister Sonia Parag as she delivered the feature address at the flag-raising ceremony for Guyana’s 58th Independence Anniversary, held on Friday at the Region Five Democratic Council.
“When His Excellency came up with the concept of ‘One Guyana’, it was not for us to make it a brand. It was made for us to have unity among our people through different activities and different avenues,” the minister stressed.

Parag added that every budget that has since been passed has been created and strategised by the PPP/C administration so that prosperity can be achieved through the programmes and policies that the Government has been investing in.
The Local Government Minister has urged the residents to fulfill the vision that former leaders like Cheddi Jagan fought for; that is, an independent country that is built on hard work and cohesion among its people to further develop the nation.
“We are six people living and working to achieve a common goal, which is: prosperity for ourselves and our country, and that is why President Ali crafted this initiative,” she explained.

Regional Chairman (ag) Rion Peters has said that, over the past four years, Guyana has been changed significantly for the better, due to a government that has been working assiduously to ensure that the needs of all Guyanese are met.
“Over the past four years, and all across Region Five, we can recognize significant development that has happened. In every sector, there is infrastructural development that is benefiting every Guyanese, and this is what the Government is about,” Peters has said.
He encouraged the residents that, with all this progress ongoing, they should recommit to building a society that’s built on togetherness and on embracing each other’s cultures and traditions.
