–  Manickchand says, government will continue to invest in all communities

MINISTER of Education, Priya Manickchand, has highlighted that the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) administration is committed to delivering equitable development across the country and will continue to do so.
The Minister made these remarks during a recent community meeting with residents of Yupukari, Region Nine.
She said such was visible in the types of investments in various sectors like education, agriculture and even health.

Giving one example, she stated that, now, teachers are able to stay in the various communities they live in and are able to receive training so as to qualify themselves and earn a better salary and further go on to study at the university right from their home villages as well.
“That is the kind of investments we’re making in your people, in your young people and in the future of the country through your children,” she said.
She added, “When we come here and we tell you, we love you, when you hear the president speaking of service and love, when you hear the general secretary speaking of the PPP philosophy to serve the nation and do so equitably and equally; these are the kinds of things we talk about.”

Manickchand affirmed that it does not matter which community persons live in, be it the coast or the hinterland, citizens of the country will see development coming to their communities, as this is what the government is about.
“Why are we doing it? Because we believe that we could only thrive together. We can’t develop one part of the country, leave out one part and expect our country to grow. Everybody must grow together,” she stated.
Against this backdrop, she indicated that all of Guyana can see that the PPP/C government remains committed to serving the people of the country and delivering the best through investments in agriculture, health, education, human services and all other sectors.
