— Minister Teixeira
URGING residents of Bartica to lock in another term for the governing People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance, Gail Teixeira, told Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) voters not to squander their ballots whilst warning them of those who are attempting to commit bribery ahead of the September 1 polls.
As the countdown to the September 1 polls intensifies, the political stalwart on Saturday at the party’s Bartica rally told residents to vote wisely to continue the progress that is being executed by the PPP/C administration.
As she addressed the mammoth crowd, she painted a bright picture of transformation taking place in Region Seven under the PPP/C.
“The transformation going on in this country is unbelievable,” she said pointing to the infrastructure upgrades and employment opportunities that residents of the region are reaping.
However, the minister said that there is more to be done, underscoring: “This is where you come in, my friends. We don’t squander our votes. We don’t squander these opportunities.”
She cautioned residents not to be complacent and instead mobilise their community to head out to the polls on September 1. She further called out those opposition parties that are attempting to seduce the electorate with unrealistic promises and criticised those who have been accused of trying to buy votes.
“The people of Region Seven have awoken. They’re enlightened. They want more of the change they’ve experienced in the last five years. They want more development, and they want to do it as one people, one Guyana for the next five years, President Ali to lead us,” she said to a roaring crowd.
