Dear Sir
IT is amazing that any member of the PPP could have the gall to criticise the performance of this Government in general or any ministry in particular!

Without ascribing responsibility to a particular ministry for what I see as drastic and evident improvement in many sectors of Guyanese life, let me remind the blind, anosmic, and conscience-lacking PPP spokesperson that Georgetown looks and smells a lot better now than when you were in power. Over the last few months there was a very high volume of rainfall and absolutely nothing happened to the city. Who in their right minds could deny that fact? The economy is performing as it should under normal circumstances.

We don’t want to get into the reasons why there was greater cash flow under the PPP, we all know why, and today those of us who understand that states have a responsibility to regulate the types of businesses and transactions that operate in the economy are happy and relieved that the number of those ‘cash flow’ events is now on the decline.

The majority of streets in Georgetown (and in many other places) have been resurfaced. Attention is now being paid to Education like attention has never been paid there since in the 60s. Internet accessibility is spreading throughout Guyana like a virus (unintentional) and that fibre optic cable thing that so much money was squandered on under the PPP had nothing to do with the spread.

Those are a representative few of the many areas where there could be no comparison made to the inept, abysmal, shameful and embarrassing tenure of the PPP and what is happening in Guyana today.

But as someone who always tries to be fair-minded and guided by a clear conscience, I hasten to say that the performance of this Government leaves much to be desired. The electricity situation hasn’t changed for more than 40 years and that is inexcusable.

Two years is more than enough time for there to have been some noticeable improvement in the supply of electricity here. The Traffic Department has fallen dormant to the ‘stopping in the intersection’ anomaly and mini-buses continue to do as they please on our roads.

These are only a few of the many areas where the new Government can do a lot more.
But to earn your keep by being so insensitive to shame and disgrace to suggest that you and your consorts were doing a better job for the Guyanese people under the PPP is abhorrent and should carry with it some sort of criminal liability.

Disgusted
