David Granger visits Amerindian village

Jun 30, 2011 News

On Saturday, A Partnership for National Unity Presidential Candidate Brigadier (ret’d) David Granger and a team from Region Four, including Regional Chairman, Clement Corlette, visited the hinterland community of St. Cuthbert’s Mission.
The residents there had complained of being completely ignored by the current administration.
One resident said that some Ministers would “only rush in like “Santa Clause” a day or two before General Elections with gifts to purchase votes.
The residents stated that “the PPP/C government waits until disaster strikes or elections before they visit their community.”
“It is clear that the PPP/C Administration is only interested in our hinterland residents for votes they can get, and since this is the year of the general elections, their vote buying campaign is in full swing.”
Mr. Granger said that the APNU partnership has recruited advocates in St. Cuthbert’s Mission to enquire about residents who did not have their source documents and to ensure that voters were not further disenfranchised.
Members of St. Cuthbert’s Mission have also called for better roads to access their community.
Although $25 million was spent to reconstruct the access road to their community, the project which began in 2010 and was completed earlier this year is now a disaster area of sand, mud, grass and water.
This is now a road on which only heavy duty and four-wheel drive vehicles can traverse.
Mr. Granger said that hinterland residents should be afforded the same consideration and investment the PPP/C Administration shares with coastal communities.
“An APNU government will ensure that the rights of all Guyanese are respected, that all Guyanese are afforded the same respect, consideration and amenities as other coastal communities”.
Mr. Granger assured the St. Cuthbert’s Mission community that his administration will work tirelessly to ensure “A Good Life for All Guyanese”.
