Dear Editor,

GUYANA is poised for development and growth with the new zeal and policy direction being shown by the Ministry of Housing and Water under President Irfaan Ali’s leadership.
So far, it is only a year and the statistics has shown that the officials at the ministry have already allocated more than 5, 000 house lots. This is a far cry from the performance of their predecessors who were in office from 2015 to 2020. Additionally, $12B has been spent in 22 new and existing housing schemes to do infrastructural development works.
This goes in tune with the vision expressed by the President of having well rounded communities across Guyana that are developed with roads, schemes, utilities and facilities.
As a matter of fact, some $2.3B has been expended on the hallmark Eccles to Mandela bypass road. This road network when completed will service thousands of people and vehicles that traverse on the road daily. The PPP Government has outdone itself in the water sector by delivering good quality and fully sanitised water. Billions of dollars were spent on keeping the water quality at acceptable levels since the President came to office in 2020. The impact of change, development, prosperity and leadership in just one full year can be felt all across Guyana.

Yours truly,

Baldeo Mathura
