What about the rest of Guyanese, Mr. Granger?

SO, Mr. Granger has expressed his disappointment at what he deems the government’s lackadaisical methods of improving the quality of life for persons living in Region 10. 

His party is calling for a renewed regional and economic development initiative to improve the quality of life of residents. What about the other regions? This should be good for all the administrative regions.
It would be interesting to see just how much money was spent in Region 10, as opposed to other regions. He did not mention the cost of the Linden buildings burnt down; or the jobs and benefits lost in opposing and not improving on aspects of the projects that may have provided some of the jobs he is calling for.
What has Mr. Granger done for people in those regions before and after he was elected to parliament? Did he attempt to improve or expand on the projects or programmes proposed or put in place by government? Did he propose or submit any legislation that would improve his supporters’ lot, much less the nation?
The only time he attempted to negotiate a deal with government on Linden electric rates, he was sabotaged by the other opposition party. He has fallen back on the AFC mantra: “Anything proposed by government must be corrupt and defeated”.
Meanwhile, APNU is left to follow this strategy until they can win the government. Until then, all new projects or programmes will be defeated, while their supporters wait for the promises the Opposition makes to become a reality.
The Opposition prefers to oppose rather than propose or negotiate better outcomes, or attempt to make the most of their opportunities to better improve legislation. Throwing out any benefits that their supporters may have gotten is less important than attempting to throw out the government and its policies.
Guess government is not the only one being lackadaisical in addressing the nation’s problems.
