The struggle for accountability is still on – Granger
…“We need to know what is happening with the tax dollars of the hardworking Guyanese”
Opposition Leader, David Granger has registered his firm belief that a basic change to a government that believes in accountability will make a difference for the betterment of Guyana.
Granger made that statement as he sought to hit home the dilemma of the Opposition in having to hound the government for information that should be readily available.

The politician said that Guyanese stand to benefit collectively from a type of scrutiny that will allow a government to be on its toes. “So the struggle needs to be pursued and all must join.”
He said that the People Progressive Party (PPP) administration needs to realize that accountability will make a people more confident in their government.
Granger noted that accountability is what makes the system work. He added, “That’s the need for the opposition, and an accountable government will become a good government.”
According to A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) leader, his party has been engaged in a 21-month struggle to ascertain the source of funding for many projects and entities. His immediate reference however, was to the Government Information Agency (GINA).
Granger said that it hard to figure how GINA still exists with the funding given to the entity by the National Assembly. He added, “There must be another source of funding and we need to find that out.”
He told Kaieteur News that there is too much going on that the Opposition doesn’t know about. He sought to make it clear that it is not a case where the Opposition is not trying to find out; he said that the Opposition’s inquires are just falling on deaf ears.
Granger had also told Kaieteur News, “It is a worry how the government can carry out these projects, like the Marriott, knowing that they are not best in the interest of the average Guyanese people.”
He said that the opposition, especially the APNU, will make it “our” interest to ensure that the tax dollar of the hard working Guyanese citizen is put to good use; “that is what we were put here for.”
