–President Ali implores ECD residents; reminds persons to assess PPP/C’s track record, plans for advancement

PRESIDENT Dr. Irfaan Ali has reaffirmed the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C)’s unwavering commitment to national development, urging citizens to once again entrust the government with the responsibility of steering Guyana towards a more sustainable and prosperous future.

Addressing a mammoth crowd of supporters and residents at a public meeting Monday evening in Enterprise, East Coast Demerara, the Head of State energised the gathering with a comprehensive outline of the government’s vision and ongoing efforts to improve the quality of life across the country.
“We are asking you once again to give us that responsibility; to honour us with the responsibility to work for a better Guyana, a more progressive Guyana, a stronger Guyana, a wealthier Guyana, a healthier Guyana, a more educated Guyana, a more united Guyana,” the President declared.

Dr. Ali highlighted key achievements of the PPP/C administration, including the removal of over 200 burdensome taxes, a significant reduction in non-performing loans, and the creation of 70,000 new jobs.

He noted that these efforts have contributed to Guyana now being recognised as the fastest-growing economy in the region, topping global rankings in mining, energy, and climate resilience.
The President further emphasised the government’s commitment to economic inclusion and resilience, addressing issues such as the cost of living, home ownership, and access to essential services.

“We have a poverty reduction strategy that will seek to build an ecosystem in our country that will safeguard us from international pressure; the international pressure of rising food prices, the international pressure of rising energy costs, the international pressure of rising transportation costs, the international pressure from the consequences of wars and conflict, the international pressure on the healthcare system, the international pressure on the education system,” the President stated.

He also reminded citizens of specific development plans for communities along the East Coast Demerara, including the establishment of a local feed production facility, and critical upgrades to community drainage infrastructure. These projects form part of a broader drive to improve local livelihoods, and strengthen community resilience.
The President underscored the administration’s long-term vision, pointing to forthcoming investments in infrastructure, education, and social services aimed at bridging divides, and building a more cohesive and inclusive society.

“We are not a seasonal party; our love is not seasonal. Our love is not only at election time. The love of the PPP has endured on the side of the people for 75 years,” Dr. Ali said passionately, reinforcing the Party’s deep-rooted commitment to national progress.
