RESIDENTS of Kamwatta community in Moruca, Region 1, have pledged their full support to the PPP/C Government at the general and regional elections on May 11.At a community meeting held recently, residents said they are proud of the PPP/C Government because of development that has taken place in their community over the past 22 years and assured Regional Chairman Region 2, Mr Parmanand Persaud,that they will vote solidly for the “cup” at the elections.
The regional chairman, who had addressed residents at the community meeting in their village recently, said the Government has restored Guyana from a begging basket when it took power on 5th October 1992 to a prosperous nation 22 years after. Mr Persaud said the PNC now disguised as the APNU had destroyed the country during its 28-year dictatorship which ended on 5th October, 1992, when the PPP/C won the elections. He reminded residents that when the PPP/C came into office, everything was down and the country had a foreign debt of some $US2.1B. He said there were severe food shortages, unreliable electricity supply, bad roads and poor health services. The chairman reminded residents that schools and other Government buildings were in poor and terrible condition and the ferry service was a nightmare.
Mr Persaud said the PPP/C led by the late President Cheddi Jagan took Guyana from a begging basket in 1992 and has transformed the country into a prosperous nation. He said today when Guyana is developing and progressing rapidly, the same PNC that destroyed the country is now posing as APNU along with the smaller AFC to mislead the nation to get into power.
One resident told the chairman: “I have seen development in my community and life has changed under the caring PPP/C Government and I will vote for the party. There was loud clapping by all residents who shouted:”We will vote solidly for[the] PPP/C so it can return to office and continue developing Guyana.
