– as Reg 2 RHO tells of a youthful dream becoming reality under PPP/C
Delicia DeSilva, one of the many young candidates of the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C), is encouraging citizens to vote for the party at the upcoming polls in order for development to continue along the Pomeroon.
She was at the time delivering remarks at the party’s rally at Anna Regina, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam).
DeSilva said as a result of the investments made under the five years of the Irfaan Ali-led Administration, Pomeroon can now be considered the breadbasket of the country.
She pointed to interventions made by the Government to improve the lives of farmers by addressing issues with flooding; she also highlighted the Government’s move to have the dredging of the Pomeroon River.
She noted that farmers’ productions have significantly increased and they now have access to larger markets.
In fact, the PPP/C candidate said many persons who migrated out of the Pomeroon are now returning to develop their farms.
Young people in the Pomeroon, she further explained, now have better access to higher education through the Government’s online scholarship program, GOAL.
“The PPP is not just talking about youth development; they are delivering,” DeSilva emphasised.
“I choose the PPP not because of what they have promised but because of what they have delivered,” she noted.
In this regard, she urged that come September 1, citizens should vote for the “only party that has walked Pomeroon, listened to its people, and delivered real and tangible results.”
Tangible results
Such tangible results were expressed by Ranjeev Singh, who was able to fulfil his childhood dream of becoming a doctor after being given the opportunity by the governing People’s Progressive Party/Civic Administration.
“When I was writing CXC, I dreamt of becoming a medical doctor, but I know I was only supposed to dream because of poverty. Today, because of a People’s Progressive Party/Civic Government, I was given the scholarship,” he said at a PPP rally in Anna Regina today, Essequibo Coast.
Singh, who is currently the Regional Health Officer (RHO) for Region Two, says, “I am now not living in a dream, but it has become a reality because of a People’s Progressive Party Government.”
According to the RHO, Guyanese want to see progress and continuity of the development that has occurred over the past five years. To this end, he urged that they vote the PPP/C back into office.
“Today, I know every one of you here will do that and tell those who could not have been here to come on Sept 1 and let us all vote for the People’s Progressive Party Civic… so that we can move forward and bring development to this country for every single Guyanese.”
