OVER the years, the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) has invested heavily and extensively in Guyana’s infrastructure development. Many roadways have been reconstructed and repaired, and in the manifesto, infrastructure is one of the immediate priorities to which the PPP/C will be committed.For example, making the Linden to Lethem road a success, with the cooperation of Brazil’s Government. This highway will serve as an artery to the many hinterland communities.
Constructions of a new roadway between Mocha and Ogle which will result in connecting the East Bank of Demerara to the East Coast of Demerara, and the four-lane expansion between Providence and Diamond are still under construction and will be completed in a few months.

There is also the continuation of the construction of a four-lane highway on a section of the East Coast of Demerara, commencing from Better Hope to Annandale. Steel Bridges will also be built along the Railway Embankment.
The construction of a new bridge across the Demerara River, for which a feasibility study is underway, is amongst Government’s many plans for the further development of the nation’s infrastructure network. There will also be continuous work on the expansion of drainage and irrigation systems, by installing more pumps for further assistance to farmers in their agriculture pursuits.
The improvement of the main waterways, drains and the linking of drainage systems around the country are also a main focus.
The PPP/C’s manifesto has highlighted the party’s priorities which will result in the enhancement of our country’s developments and it is time that we, the people, give support; for this is not about what our country can do for us, it is about what we can do for our country, because we are ‘One People, One Nation, One Destiny’.
I urge all to come forward and help Guyana go to greater heights.
