OLPF programme will cross a significant developmental threshold
– Dr Luncheon
“When it would have taken root in the homes and minds of our people, equity in our developmental processes would have crossed a significant threshold…This is exactly what our detractors are afraid of.”
Head of the Presidential Secretariat Dr Roger Luncheon made these comments, yesterday, while addressing the One Laptop per Family Program.
According to Dr Luncheon a section of small-minded people in and out of the media, exists, plots and plans daily to thwart the genuine efforts of this government to transform the “social landscape of our country, into one that opens the windows of opportunity to everyone regardless of class or creed, location or political and religious persuasion.”
He insists, “They have little to offer and even less to add…Their diatribe and criticisms are not matched by ideas and proposals of worth…They cannot conceive of our own ability to turn Guyana around”
According to Dr Luncheon the detractors “derive orgasmic pleasure in sowing confusion, exploiting insecurities’, creating difficulties and problems to forestall our nation’s forward march…They cannot bear to see us emerge as a collective, truly embodying our sacred motto of One People, One Nation with One Destiny.”
He said that they will not succeed and the administration will not temper their resolve to expose the detractors, their acolytes and machinations
Dr Luncheon says that there must be no doubt in the minds of any, that under this PPP/C Administration, Guyana is on an irreversible path to progress and development with everyone on board, “even our detractors.”
“We will continue to forge ahead with our efforts to empower every Guyanese. We are working undauntedly to give laptop computers to ninety thousand Guyanese families through an enabling programmatic approach that will ensure effective learning outcomes, opportunity creation and ultimate empowerment for all.”
He said that the project unit is working feverishly, to get the facts to Guyanese through multiple sources.
He stressed that since the launch of OLPF in January, the wheels of innovation and national fervor that will eventually place modern, mobile computers into the hands of some ninety thousand families have been turning incessantly.

He noted that families joining the programme will inevitably, “come face to face with the infinite range of opportunities and possibilities for self-development, business and growth that reside in the global marketplace made possible through the world wide-web.”
