Prime Minister Brigadier (Ret’d) Mark Phillips on Saturday urged Essequibians not to be misled by false promises from political opponents, declaring that only the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) has consistently delivered for the people of Region Two.
Speaking to a massive crowd at the Anna Regina rally, Prime Minister Phillips reminded residents of the PPP/C’s strong track record in governance, especially in supporting farmers.

“The PPP/C has the farmers at heart, whether it’s rice farmers or those growing crops in the Pomeroon,” he stated, reaffirming the government’s commitment to the agricultural sector.
Phillips emphasised that the PPP/C stands on a solid foundation, citing the widely applauded “Because We Care” cash grant as a direct example of people-centred leadership.
“The PPP/C delivers, and every Guyanese is getting $100,000,” he told the cheering crowd, adding that, “More is coming! As a government, the PPP/C remains people-centred, and we believe that the people should get more.”
