The budget is one for the people
Dear Editor,
It is important that we appreciate the 2023 Budget allocations, (791 billion), and what the general public should note is that this budget is being financed without any new taxes. That is remarkable. There are allocations for all of Guyana to benefit. I have noticed a significant number of developmental projects presented in the budget in areas such as infrastructure, health, education, agriculture, etc.
Most outstanding is the 136 billion allocated to the development of roads & bridges, the faster travel times and bridged connections that the new roads will form most definitely will be welcomed. It is also refreshing to see 1.4 billion being allocated to the Culture sector. The culture & arts sector has been undergoing a delightful transformation since the current administration has taken over and I am excited to see what changes take place this year.
The budget listed allocations that are too numerous for me to mention individually, however, it is noteworthy the significant allocations for -Amerindian communities. The Government must also be commended for the past works done within Amerindian communities.
Evidently, the 2023 Budget is one for all the people of Guyana and I am excited to witness all the plans come to fruition and watch Guyana transform.
Sincerely,
Ryan Newton
