Guyana has to develop and move forward and will not be able to do so without investing in the infrastructure

Apr 23, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

Please allow me the privilege to reply to a letter that was published in Friday’s KN titled “The Rewards of Oil belong to all”.

While the statement is indeed true and irrefutable, the rest of this angry letter showed how misinformed some people really are in this country. Venezuela’s current economic woes, are not as a result of embarking on massive infrastructure projects as stated but mainly due to two factors: depressed Oil price and sanctions placed on that country by the United States and its allies whose intent was to remove the former Chavez and now the Maduro Governments which America does not find favorable.

Guyana has to develop and move forward and will not be able to do so without investing in the infrastructure it needs and in the children who represents the future of this nation. To start handing out money from the paltry amount in its fledgling Natural Resource Fund would be premature and irresponsible on the part of any Government.

I agree completely with Gloria Holder when she said that instead of providing handouts to those who are sitting around waiting with outstretched hands for free money, the country would be better served by investing in its children with free breakfast and lunches at school and infrastructure projects that will serve the needs of all Guyanese.
Despite being in Office for less than two years, we see a Government that’s in tune with the needs of its people. It recognizes what needs to be done and it is busily and expeditiously doing so. We see that daily in the allocation of house lots, the building of new homes, encouraging investment, Job creation, building roads, potable water supply to rural residents, electricity generation, telecommunication improvements, drainage, flood mitigation, agriculture, Oil and gas development, environmental protection and the list goes on and on.

I commend Mr. Shuman for recognizing the Government’s efforts and his willingness to give praise when it is due instead of indulging in negative partisan politics and bare-faced lies like we see from the Opposition, Guyana seems to be on the right track with the leaders it needs at its helm. Let’s hope the negative comments from its detractors do not distract them from their goal in building a country that all can be proud of.

Sincerely,
Dennis Balgobin
