–among major plans for Kuru Kururu, other Soesdyke-Linden communities
–President Ali urges residents to vote for a brighter future for their children

FROM round the clock electricity to treated water coming from the tap, President Dr. Irfaan Ali has unveiled an ambitious plan to supercharge development along the Soesdyke-Linden Highway, starting with Kuru Kururu.

With the countdown to the September 1 General and Regional Elections underway, President Ali on Thursday passionately laid out a future vision where infrastructure, opportunity, and quality of life are dramatically elevated for residents in this key corridor.

“We want your children to have the best possible future right here on the highway,” the Head of State declared to loud applause. “A future in which you can get to Georgetown on new highways in 35 minutes; a future in which we can have agricultural equipment and machinery given to the farmers here collectively, so that you can be supported with the capital investment that is needed to make you more productive.”

In a sweeping series of announcements, Dr Ali confirmed that the government will move to expand the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) transmission line, ensuring 24/7 electricity in every community along the highway, a boost for households and businesses alike.

That’s not all. The PPP/C’s vision includes treated water piped directly to homes, upgraded internal roads, improved drainage, and enhanced recreational spaces.

“We are going to launch an aggressive infrastructure improvement project for all of the highway, your grounds, your parks, all of it will be upgraded under your government, the People’s Progressive Party/Civic government,” he said.

“We are going to make vehicle ownership, home ownership, more easier for you,” he assured adding that residents can expect “A future in which you will have reduced tax burden, better infrastructure, easier accessibility to loans.”

President Ali offered a passionate reminder of what the coming elections represent, noting that it was not just for the present, but for future generations. He used the opportunity to urge residents to not be wary of other political contenders who may attempt to ‘buy’ votes and steer them away from development.

“Any person who believes that your vote is for sale also believe that your dignity is for sale because your vote is about your children, your family and your community, and your children and your family is part of your dignity. And anyone who believes that they can give you some money and take your vote believes that your dignity can be bought and sold.”
