Absolutely transformative, must be the term, describing the pivotally visible changes that the entire nation has been experiencing, especially, since the beginning of the current millennium. Just go back to, say, twenty years ago, the following can be said of the national social status quo: pot-holed roads throughout the capital city for example, that gave the appearance of a crater-holed moon surface; houses that were generally in need of repairs and general rehabilitative works; very few taps that allowed  in-residence water flow; run-down schools; scarcity of residential phone lines;  a national health system that was primitive in every respect, and unable to deliver timely and proper medical care to the nation’s citizens; scarcity of essential food items that occasioned lengthy lines, beginning as early as midnight  for many citizens desperate for mainstream food items for their families; and not to forget, a people absolutely fed up with an authoritarian, and an unpopular regime.
Does anyone wish to deny the foregoing? Only if they originate from another galaxy; or does not have a sense of honest decency.
Fast forward to almost twenty years later where, like the legendary phoenix, Guyana has been gradually rising from the ashes, shedding its decrepit and hopeless state, and assuming its place in the category of developing nation status: Billions have been invested, and are still being spent,  in the building and resurfacing of roads throughout the length and breadth of the country’s coastlands, in the rehabilitation and construction of new hospitals and medical centres, inclusive of four new diagnostic centres and an ophthalmological hospital, never-before-done medical procedures now being carried out; and more medical personnel now available; the recently announced plans to build a surgical specialty facility; an ongoing schools rehabilitation and school building programme, with teacher training being expanded to facilitate better delivery of quality education to the nation’s students; computer laboratories being placed in schools as ICT skills now become the bridgehead for modernization; bridges linking East Corentyne Berbice to West Coast Berbice, and Brazil to Guyana via the Takutu River; and the recent announcement of plans for a deep water harbour in East Berbice.
Then there is the great housing strategy that has seen the establishment of almost 200 housing schemes, with posh homes for working class families, and with many of these settlements being converted to town status.
There are also the people-oriented programmes such as  the government-sponsored  skills training for women and further financial aid assisting them to commence businesses in commensuration with their acquired skills; and the fantastic Women of Worth programme that are designed to lift single parents from their burdened lot.
The above illustrations are just a microcosm of the great social and economic developmental strides that have been taking place in Guyana since the ascension of the PPP/C to office.
Today, Guyana is a nation on the move, with a people positively hopeful and matured as they benefit from an administration whose primary  goal is to bring full progress to the lives of individual citizens.
It is this progressive scorecard, and more, that will assure the PPP/C government of another elected term of office.
