We will significantly increase cash grants

Jan 03, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

When the PPP is removed at the next elections, we will not stop cash grants to the nation’s people; especially the poor. We will increase it tenfold while also putting structured programmes in place to see poverty alleviation and an end to homelessness and destitution.

Housing schemes for the poor will be built across Guyana catering for those who are struggling while we focus first and foremost on raising the living standards of all Guyanese. Pensioners and just born babies will be given grants in excess of a million dollars yearly. Citizens living with disability will have special housing arrangements and health care access. Not a single mentally ill person will be left to live on the streets.

Homegrown food will be affordable once again. People are currently going hungry in Guyana because they can’t afford to buy food we produce locally. Education will be free from nursery to university and government ministers’ children will share the same classrooms with the children of street vendors.

Guyana’s currency has no real value so handing out 25,000 dollars to poor Blacks, while today having a secret programme where some favoured Indians frequently get in excess of a hundred thousand in cash handouts is one of the most wicked and racist acts by the current regime. I repeat, we will significantly increase cash grants to the Guyanese people. They must feel that money in their hands while we work tirelessly to ensure at the national level, social and economic programmes are in place.

I am reliably informed that leading politicians in the government among many others would gamble in excess of a million dollars on any given night at a certain casino in Guyana. In 2023, there must be serious investigative journalism to expose corruption and PPP hypocrisy.

Politicians must never again be given the exclusive right to decide what the people get and when and how they get it. The people must feel that what is theirs is easily accessible and without red tapes and bullshit autocratic leadership coming from government.

The abundance of oil wealth and a nation with such a small population, we must not hoodwink citizens and continuously bluff them with promises while they continue to live a life below average. We must not talk liberation. We must liberate.

Sincerely yours,
