THE People’s Progressive Party/Civic manifesto has promised job creation through call centres that will be constructed in Enmore, Tuschen, Corentyne, Linden and Essequibo. Chip factories are also said to be constructed in Wakenaam and Leguan, while there will be the construction of a cereal plant in Anna Regina. PPP/C made many promises and is committed to making sure each and every one is fulfilled. PPP/C will pay much more attention to single parents, children and indigenous people, and also an Amerindian Community Development will help to encourage many youths in the Amerindian villages to work and provide for their household. The PPP/C mission is to end poverty, to give all a standing chance at having a job, as this will also help to boost the youth’s confidence, and ability to work and earn as many of their fellow Guyanese do.
A new bridge across the Demerara River is one of many promises in the party’s manifesto, along with a promise of building a bridge across the Corentyne River to link Guyana and Suriname. Our Specialty Hospital will provide health care; a 100 bed ward will be constructed at the East Bank Demerara hospital which will help to accommodate many more patients. As far as housing goes, a new housing scheme will be opened on the Linden Soesdyke Highway, along with 5000 turnkey homes which will mainly target low and middle income families.
The PPP/C has made promises and tried hard to make each promise come true. No one is perfect and no one can build a house overnight, or build a bridge over a river in a week. Development takes time and what is important is that it is being done. I see President Ramotar as a father who is striving to provide betterment for his own, trying to pave our future, and we, as children need to believe and have faith in him.
