There is no future in this country for hard-working people

Aug 23, 2011 Letters

 
Dear Editor,
Let’s face it there is no future in this country for hard-working people seeking better opportunities.
The PPP has created nothing of substance economically. Sugar workers will soon be managed by foreign Chinese or Indian management at the Skeldon ‘white elephant’ factory.
I’ve got some advice for the tens of thousands of those looking for work in this PPP paradise: Run. Yes, run as far as you can away from this country.
For as long as it remains in the hands of the PPP, this country has nowhere to go but deeper into the cesspool of corruption, crime, economic destitution, inequality and cost of living nightmares.
The PPP just like the PNC offers employment in unemployment. Suriname is booming and it is about to get better. US $10 billion in construction projects are on the horizon in the next few years. Guyanese workers and businesses need to seriously consider getting in on the action in Suriname before the Brazilians and French Guianese get there.
With our construction experience and ‘expertise’ having gone through a construction boom, there is exceptional opportunity for Guyanese to reap rewards in Suriname.
Suriname itself has said it will need to hire foreign labour to complete these projects.
The Surinamese made a fool of the PPP government when it secured deals to build a major highway and a railway to Brazil, something Jagdeo has been spouting a lot of hot air about for donkey years without accomplishing anything.
The Surinamese are actually going to build this link to Brazil. It doesn’t stop there. They will build a deepwater port too. And an international airport in Nickerie. And a bridge over the Corentyne. And 18,000 homes. And when Surinamese start cashing in that newfound wealth, they will need to build new homes. So there is serious money to be made in Suriname.
It is time the Guyanese people start looking east to the former Dutch colony to uplift their circumstances because this hell on earth the PPP has created “ain’t gonna deliver” any jobs, anytime.
The vast underclass of the unemployed in this country and in particular its youth have no future under the PPP, which has been a dismal failure.
This is a country of the powerful few for the powerful few run by the powerful few. With the developed world cutting back on immigration in these times of economic uncertainty, Guyanese don’t have traditional routes of escape any longer. Look east my people, look east.
