With general and regional elections exactly one week away, the campaign trail has heated up and all parties have intensified efforts to convince the electorate that they are the team for the dream.

At the public meeting, Ali told the crowd that the “People’s Progressive Party civic we have your back. 75 years of service, 75 years of selfless work, 75 years of commitment, 75 years of standing with you in every season, in every moment of time.”

Speaking on several issues the community faces, he highlighted that the cost of transportation to the hinterland has to be reduced, hence the reason VAT was removed on travel to those areas.

Th president said he believes the time has come for government to support the communities so as to reduce the cost of transport, so that the goods can be cheaper.

“So, I’m committing to you today that your new government will invest in assets that will reduce the transport cost for you here in Kamarang and the surrounding community. We are going to build out expanded facility in the Guyana Defense Force,” he promised.

President Ali said further, that his government will ensure every community has their own ATV’s, river ambulances, tractors for farmer support, and upgraded airstrips, as these are necessities that must be immediately addressed.

Additionally, investments will be made into “a study hub with all of the facilities, including the digital facility, so that your children can come to one hub in this sub region, and they can do a degree, a diplomas, and all of the other programmes that the University of Guyana and the GOAL scholarship offer.”

Addressing the future of education, the president said he is aware of the importance of the DC Fox Secondary School in the community. He promised that it will be modernised to provide more than secondary education.

“The school must be linked to the new hospital that we are building, because we want that hospital to be a teaching hospital. So, I’m saying that the Ministers of Education and Health, that the next government, will ensure that not only you have a modern DC Fox secondary school, but that that school will be offering medical technologists, nursing, dentistry, all of those programmes are attached to the teaching hospital that we will build here. That is the future we’re talking to you,” the president said.
