Home Letters The PPP/C is all about honesty, humility and harmony
Dear Editor,
Guyanese at home, and those abroad especially, are familiar with the terms “all-weather roads” and “all-weather tyres.” The all-weather road may be defined as “a road of sufficient construction and firmness for vehicles and equipment to traverse during normal inclement weather, including expected rain, snow, and freezing temperatures. All-weather road means a gravel or paved surface that can support a fully loaded pump truck in all seasons.”
All-weather tyre may be construed as “a tyre designed to handle the roads during any season. Combining the benefits of both all-season and snow tyres, all-weather tyres cover you throughout the year; meaning, they meet the standard for winter use while still being usable for spring, summer and autumn.
Recently, a leader booming, blooming, and brooming with initiative, innovation, and illustration introduced the term, “all-weather government.” His Excellency, President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali, an immaculate and impressive man for all seasons, who is difficult to imitate and impersonate, is always investing and improvising.
The Head of State, at a massive rally in Mahaicony, told the iconic red gathering, “This party is about improving the well-being of people. It is about investing in communities and investing in the lives of people. This is a party you can rely on. This is a party that sticks to its commitment. This is an all-weather party. We come in the sunshine and in the rain.”
The applauding crowd went berserk, with a standing ovation and flags flying in the faultless air, knowing that even if Guyana is blessed with snow, the PPP/C party will prevail and prevent any possible problems in protecting the people.
The PPP/C administration is a “government for all”, according to Vice President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo. President Ali has inculcated and introduced the concept of “One Guyana.” This successful theme has been a selling point throughout Guyana, and has knitted and molded the people of Guyana to forge a common identity and truly propagate “One People, One Nation, One Destiny.”
The PPP/C party has broken all barriers, and is the only party fully equipped to boast and brag that it comprises a combination of all ethnicities, with a large composition of young males and females. It is the only party that portrays a true representation to reflect Guyana’s sons and daughters.
President Ali broadcasted, “We have some young candidates, and they are fully prepared and they are ready to work for you. They are ready to bring development to all the NDCs…” No wonder it is the only party contesting in all the constituencies in all the regions at the forthcoming Local Government Election.
While in Region 1, His Excellency explained, “We believe that all of us as Guyanese are equal, and all of us must equally benefit from the transformation of the country.”
The PPP/C Government has dramatically demonstrated that it is a Government that will primarily serve all the people of Guyana in a peaceful, progressive and prosperous manner with priority. From the assumption of governance on 5th August 2020, President Ali swore allegiance to provide for the people of Guyana, and remove all obstacles and obstructions which the PNC administration had implemented to impede the growth of Guyana and Guyanese, because of so many roadblocks, pitfalls and encumbrances.
President Ali said in Region 2, “We came back in Government and removed all those increases.” All those evil taxes implemented by the PNC Government from 2015 to 2020 to hurt the agriculture industry and the farmers, and thus the entire nation, because of its cyclic effect, were immediately removed to create relief.
The PPP/C party is all about giving, and not taking. When the legal and legitimate PPP/C party took office in 2020, it did not give itself salary increases like the PNC Party did when it assumed office in 2015. But the PPP/C party announced the restoration of Christmas bonuses for all the military men, something which the PNC Government had taken away.
President Irfaan Ali declared, “Ensuring that we put back more money in the pockets of people is what this government is about; giving to the people, empowering the people of our country.” In 2021, the PPP/C Government reintroduced the “Because We Care” cash grant which was maliciously taken away from innocent children by the devious PNC former administration. Each child from nursery, primary, and secondary public and private schools can once again enjoy the $35,000 cash grant plus $5,000 for school uniforms and school supplies.
The PPP/C party is all about “honesty, humility, and harmony.” When the PPP/C party demitted office in 2015, it handed the PNC Party a GDP per capita of US $5,580. That Party, over a five-year period, was only able to extend the purchasing power parity level to $6,863 when they lost the election in 2020.
With the PPP/C Government at the helm in 2021, the GDP per capita rose by 45.69% to $9,999, without the input of oil revenue! Currently, it is $60,648. The Natural Resource Fund held at the New York Federal Reserve Bank has over US$1.4 billion. All revenues reserved must be declared by the Finance Minister and published in the Official Gazette.
There are various control mechanisms factored in in order to manage the funds. The PNC did hide the US$18M signing bonus, and failed to publicly declare it. The President and his Cabinet members have continuously visited all the regions, and made themselves into cleaners in order to protect and care for the environment, something the PNC Party has never contributed to.
Notwithstanding, President Ali shakes hands with all, even with Norton, the Opposition Leader who refuses to shake hands. It is only the PPP/C party that has all the necessary ingredients enveloped in one package that can formulate the success of the nation to garner peace, progress, and prosperity, because it is an all-party, people, and policy participant!
Yours respectfully,
Jai Lall
