Home Letters Two consecutive victories are indeed significant (Pt 2)
Dear Editor,
Intellectuals, professionals, public servants and teachers of all persuasions can boast of the fact that under the PPP/C administration, they were able to own their homes, cars, have improved access to water, roads, electricity and other basics of life were available.
Our people previously received better health facilities, and our children were excelling in pursuit of their educational endeavors. Culture and Sports facilities were enhancing, , and for the first time in the history of our country, so many citizens, including Afro-Guyanese were able to get a home for themselves as a work in progress.
The development and national transformation were non-exclusive and supportive organisations, were particularly recognised for addressing the vulnerable. The movement in favor of Amerindian Land Titling was progressive, and yes, ACDA now have a massive well-built facility in Georgetown thanks to the PPP/C.
This Coalition Government has imposed taxes on some two hundred items that were tax-free when the PPP/C was in Government. They also significantly increased rates of taxes in many areas in order to subsidise the fledging economy characterised by increasing indebtedness. Moves are afoot to impose more crippling tax measures, since with the current policies, it has become increasingly difficult to encourage investments that will create employment and stimulate the level of positive development required.
The reality is that the better life is only for the few who were complaining about corruption while thieving with impunity and those who were criticising the Marriot to be using the facility to seduce each other and take brutal advantage of our sons and daughters.
The new Councils must work to deliver the best level of service to the residents of communities. Creation of opportunity for citizens where possible must be augmented to the highest levels in justifying the people’s confidence. Government should support and compliment these activities in keeping with the national development plans. However, given the signals, attempts at suppressing particular Local Authority Areas must be put in the wide public attention, for the power is that of the people.
The better life can only returned with the PPP/C as it is the only true National Party.
Sincerely,
Neil Kumar
