The Local Government Results was a foretaste of what is to come in 2020
DEAR EDITOR,
In a recent Kaieteur News edition the question was asked: Are we getting a new or a renovated airport? That article went on to explain why Guyana was about to get a spruced up or renovated old airport – reasons being, it bears no resemblance to that ultra modern facility inked by the former administration. That airport most certainly, would have been completed within 32 months had the PPP/C been in office. However, what we see is a Coalition Government who cannot get anything right. They’re into a fourth year of their governance.
To top it off, more money had been expended, and maybe millions more, yet that “brand new second hand” airport cannot meet a completion date, unbelievable! Is this a government that anyone can place their trust? I would hastily respond with a resounding no!
Now, I would bring into focus the East Bank highway that goes along with this airport modernization. This too cannot get off the ground, with the latest report of the simple construction of a roundabout at the Timehri Junction becoming a stumbling block to further progress there. These and other lame excuses, too numerous to mention, is the order of the day when you analyze the performance of this PNC-led Coalition Government.
Other major projects like the East Coast Highway, which should have been completed up to its proposed location at Belfield, that too is another eyesore backwardness that will never see completion.
So, the question comes back again: what has this Coalition Government achieved by way of major projects? And the answer comes back, very little if anything at all.
We are talking about millions of dollars in spending and millions more to be spent. Can this government get it right? Seems not!
In 2015, I am sure Guyanese were looking forward to an administration who in all fairness said it was going into office to make that all-important change. However, what change was actually effected? The change we have witnessed so far is a government who has enriched itself two months into existence and is right now showing its gross incompetence in getting the People’s Business right. No wonder the last LGE gave them the shocking reminder that we are not going to put up with this nonsense any longer.
So, come 2020 or before, the people of this country will continue that pattern of rebuke when an outright rejection would be in place.
Respectfully Submitted
