Opposition leader and PPP are the blockade to a Dictatorship government

Oct 08, 2018 Letters

Dear Editor,
After almost three years of Local Government Elections in Guyana, Guyanese believe that many local issues would have been resolved. Unfortunately that was not the case.
The question is what differences have local government elections and governance made to your lives and communities?
I am absolutely sure that nothing much has changed in your communities or lives, but it is absolutely necessary to ensure that you continue to vote in ordered for you to be protected against any increases in rates and taxes or any additional burdens by this coalition government.
The government policies of modernizing the country local system of democracy is nothing but increased hardship and burdens.
Since the local government elections in 2016 the coalition government refused to increase and delayed subventions to assist LAA areas, but insisted that rates and taxes increases are the solutions to various issues within these areas.
This contributed significantly to the decline of the local authority areas. Some area are even worse than before 2016. Clogged drains, deplorable streets, garbage disposal crisis etc.; and this continues to plague all the NDC and Municipalities across the country.
Even the municipalities and NDC that are governed by the APNU/AFC coalition government, where they imposed 100% increases in rates and taxes nothing has changed .
The reasons why the APNU/AFC coalition government is trying to impose local democracy pressure on the Guyanese people is because of the numerous failure of the government to delivered.
As such they are using the local authorities’ management as a scapegoat to hide their incompetence and mismanagement. If the APNU/AFC was serious about the success of the LAA areas then more resources must be pumped into the LAA areas to satisfy the needs of the grassroots people.
Remember that Local Government Elections are just the renewal of Local Democracy.
Guyanese should recognize that the only hindrance for the APNU/AFC to become a Total Dictatorship government is the Opposition leader, Cde Bharrat Jagdeo and the People Progressive Party.
