DEAR EDITOR,
Mr. Rohee needs to better advise himself on the cost benefit analysis around the three Vice Presidents proposed by Broad Based Coalition.
It is cheaper to have three Vice Presidents doing real human developmental work for the poorest in Guyana than the vain PPP Ministers who continue to spend millions of taxpayers’ money on personal dental cosmetology and other non-essential cosmetic treatments abroad. People are dying in Guyana because they cannot access basic dialysis treatment and these people have got money to “line up” their teeth.
So let us have 3, 4 or even 5 Vice Presidents; once they can work for the people and deliver value greater than their cost, then Guyana wins.
But what is of much concern is how the PPP Ministers hoggishly raid the Treasury while continuing to exhibit attitudes of policy paralysis every single day – case in point the Minister of Amerindian Affairs. She is negative policy equity to the State of Guyana but yet cost the nation millions for cosmetic dental treatment, and does not have the decency to foot her own bill. These people are predators to the Treasury.
Now the PPP operators talk about the State paying for Nigel Hughes’ medevac. Did he benefit from a service that is unavailable to the people of the South Rupununi where he fell ill? The service he got was available to anyone from the South Rupununi who found themselves in similar circumstances. Therefore there was no special privilege here. So what are Mr. Rohee and others fussing about?
Let us talk about the PPP Ministers with the “diamond teeth”? Would the PPP pay millions of dollars for anyone living in Region 4 for similar dental cosmetology?
