Public Affairs Minister says
gov’t keeping its promises
MINISTER within the Office of the Prime Minister with responsibility for Public Affairs, Kwame McCoy, has said that Guyana is on a pathway to prosperity as the current People’s Progressive Party Civic government is keen on keeping its promises.
The minister made these remarks as he delivered an address to the East Bank Demerara residents, where contracts to the tune of $4.1 billion for community roads were being signed.
McCoy told those gathered that since entering office in 2020, the PPP/C government has continuously demonstrated its love, concern, and caring nature to the people of the country.
He added, “Every single promise we made to the people we have kept them to the people of Guyana.”
To this end, he stated that even in troubling times; the government has not forgotten the people of the country and, as such, will continue to work to ensure that the needs of the people are met.
He said that the government is here for the people and will continue to be there, as it was the people of the country that entrusted the government with their votes, and the government will remain grateful and appreciative that the population has expressed confidence in a PPP/C government.
“The confidence you express in us is a confidence in which you hold on to the lovely and very impressive track record of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic, a track record of delivery,” he said while adding that delivering goods and services to the people is crucial and the government has been working on that from the inception of its term in office.
Further to this, Minister McCoy noted that the PPP/C government is one with a vision and the ability to think and plan for the future and to envision what a society should look like using good judgement and wisdom, and this too has been demonstrated over the past three years.
Against this backdrop, he iterated that with the leadership of the government, there is no doubt about where the revenues garnered are going as he noted that these monies are being invested in the people and providing relevant infrastructure and social services for the benefit of the citizens.
“I can come back here very confidently… to celebrate with you at another time in the soon future that we would be… constructing more and more roads for the people on the East Bank; health centres, hospitals, clinics, everything that is important for the wellbeing of our communities and for the benefit of our citizens, you can imagine the Peoples Progressive Party/Civic will undertake and will execute with pride and with your support,” he expressed.
The government, he added, will continue to come to communities and connect with residents to understand the challenges they face and come up with tangible solutions.
