-Minister Rodrigues says, urges supporters to stay on course with country’s growth
-Minister Walrond, Shuman outline PPP/C’s forward-thinking, inclusive development
DISMISSING the A Partnership for National Unity’s (APNU) rent-to-own’ policy, Minister within the Ministry of Housing and Water, Susan Rodrigues, on Sunday reminded thousands of supporters that the People’s Progressive Party/Civic is already surpassing its housing-development targets, realising dreams and turning keys with every house lot that is delivered.
Minister Rodrigues emphasised that over 50,000 families now own land, with a majority of beneficiaries being women and young people.

“We don’t have time for child’s play…this party is a serious party, and when we announce our plans in development, you know that it will become a reality, because you have seen it become a reality. And so, we will not stop the work in this party. We will not stop the work in the next government, we will continue to work until everybody owns their own piece of land and every Guyanese can have their own homes.”
She further criticised the opposition plans, arguing that the PPP/C offers real ownership and financial independence through land distribution.
The party’s mission is to ensure every Guyanese experiences prosperity and safety.
“They are talking about keeping people renting. We are talking about giving people ownership, giving people land ownership, giving them their titles, giving them financial freedom.”
Meanwhile, Tourism, Industry and Commerce Minister Oneidge Walrond highlighted the party’s commitment to inclusivity and development in Guyana, noting the government’s support for over 17,000 small businesses since 2020, compared to fewer than 5,000 supported by previous administrations.
The PPP/C’s efforts she reminded, have led to significant job creation in tourism and small-business growth, particularly benefitting women and youth.
Stressing the government’s dedication to smart policies, thoughtful planning, and a future where no one is left behind, Minister Walrond urged voters to support the PPP/C in the upcoming elections.

“Let me be clear, this development cannot and is not happening by accident. It is the result of thoughtful planning, smart policies, clear vision and a government that listens, that partners with its people, and a government that believes in building a future where no one is left behind.”
Pointing to the development reported in the country’s indigenous community, Lenox Shuman, a newer face joining the ranks of the PPP/C urged voters to consider the long-term impact of their vote on September 1, emphasising the PPP/C’s commitment to future generations.
