Poor attendance is the sign of Rejection of the APNU/AFC in Berbice
Dear Editor,
The Regional Democratic Council Region Six raised several issues of concerns in order to hold the APNU/AFC coalition government accountable to the Guyanese people especially the residents of Region Six.
The East Bank Berbice public road project is being executed by the work services group of the MOPI and to date residents are still at a loss, since this project seems to be a “Top Secret “for the APNU/AFC Government. Nothing is being given to the RDC or even being made public pertaining to the design, bill of quantities, cost etc.
Who is the oversight body to ensure there is value for money? This project would be another fiasco like the Indian Monument site at Palmyra.
The RDC would be grateful if the IDB could make a copy of the initial contract design available so as to have transparency and to hold the Minister of Public Infrastructure accountable to his words that this project would be the same as the IDB design and would cost less than the actual cost of the IDB.
It is critical to get hold of this information quickly because millions of dollars is being diverted elsewhere for the Local Government elections campaign and even in people’s personal pockets.
The Minister of Public Security and the Minister of Public Infrastructure were at a meeting in New Amsterdam to launch the AFC LGE campaign. Lo and behold only thirty-three persons were in attendance.
And what was even more shocking is that both ministers were boasting about street lights installations and directly above the location and beyond about eight streetlights are not functioning since over a year.
This is the actual reality of the government ministers in that they are out of touch with the actual reality of the problems Guyanese confront across the entire country.
The President visited Rose Hall Town to launch the APNU LGE campaign in region six and was greeted by protesters who he tried to engage but was actually shunned because of his inability to help Guyanese to enjoy the good life. Only because children were given bicycles their parents were forced to be at the president’s meetings but despite that the meetings were poorly attended.
The good lifestyle that was given to Guyanese people by PPP administration before 2015 is being snatched by this Granger government.
