How can government justify this spending?

Nov 06, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
The spending of almost $20M on overseas trips by Prime Minister, Moses Nagamootoo, is a matter that comes on the heels of the Coalition Government dealings with the Guyana Teachers’ Union and other unions.
The reports from the media say that Mr. Nagamootoo spent this money on cultural events and diaspora engagements, among others. How can the government justify this spending? What did Guyana get from Mr. Nagamootoo’s multimillion-dollar trips?
The average Guyanese is already facing hardships as a result of actions taken by the APNU+AFC government, which promised us better; and in the face of these hardships, we see how taxpayers’ monies are being used.
The Prime Minister was in the front line talking about “fat cats” under the last government. What is he saying now?
The Guyanese people deserve straight answers on this.
Sincerely,
Baldeo Mathura

Editor’s note: The government has answered the questions asked and addressed the statements made by way of an answer to a request to the National Assembly.
