– citing record of tangible achievements
WITH the successful connection of the final span of the US$262 million Demerara River Bridge, Region Three Private Sector Inc. (R3PSInc.) Head, Halim Khan hailed the milestone as a “remarkable accomplishment for all,” emphasising how the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), guided by statesman President Dr. Irfaan Ali, continues to turn bold ambitions into tangible progress for the nation.
With the general elections imminent, Khan urges citizens to support the PPP/C, arguing that no other party has delivered more consistently on its promises.
Khan, leading R3PSInc., praised the PPP/C government for staying true to its commitments.
“We see a party that turns plans into reality, the bridge is one shining example. As citizens prepare to vote this Monday, I encourage Region Three to back the PPP. This government delivers.”
Khan highlights how projects like the new bridge align with R3PSInc.’s priorities, boosting commerce, easing transport, and supporting local businesses.

He credits the PPP’s “promises made, promises delivered” approach for fostering investor confidence and empowering region-wide entrepreneurial growth.
Since assuming office in August 2020, Khan said the PPP/C government has rolled out sweeping initiatives across infrastructure, social development, and economic reform.
“Housing and Land: Over 33,000 house lots delivered; thousands of affordable homes built; free steel and cement vouchers issued; Education and Social Support: University tuition made free; scholarships extended to 50,000 students; ‘Because We Care’ cash grants doubled; pensions and public assistance increased. For healthcare, twelve state-of-the-art hospitals under construction or completed; telemedicine expansion; thousands trained via nursing programmes and in jobs and economic relief, employment created for 50,000–60,000 citizens; over 200 taxes and fees reversed; subsidies on fuel, water, electricity, and data brought relief to households,” Khan reflected.
He continued: “In Infrastructure, over 140 km of four-lane roads and 400 plus bridges completed; hundreds of community roads improved across regions and hinterland access expanded. For energy and diversification, the Gas-to-Energy project ongoing to halve electricity costs; Natural Resource Fund established; and the local content laws enacted to boost domestic business participation.”
Further he said the PPP/C has made unprecedented investments in Indigenous and hinterland development, with over GY$14 billion directed into 240 villages and a pledge of 5,000 new Amerindian village projects, alongside major expansions in agriculture and ICT.
Looking ahead, the party’s 2025–2030 Khan said the agenda outlines bold plans, including the establishment of large-scale industrial estates, food hubs, 100 new schools, 40,000 new homes, smart cities, and constitutional reform. With more than 90 percent of its previous manifesto commitments already fulfilled, the PPP/C has cemented its reputation as the most promise-keeping party in Guyana’s recent history.
He explained that the PPP/C has distinguished itself as a government of stability and delivery, transforming infrastructure blueprints, housing plans, educational funding, and health projects into tangible realities that improve everyday life.
“Its model of inclusive growth ensures that no one is left behind, from Amerindian villages benefitting from new investments, to entrepreneurs in Region Three thriving under local content laws, with education and housing opportunities reaching further than ever before. Landmark projects like the New Demerara River Bridge go beyond concrete and steel, standing as powerful symbols of governance that connects communities, eases travel, and drives regional commerce.”
At the same time, the R3PSInc.head said the administration demonstrates sound stewardship of oil revenues through the Natural Resource Fund and the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS), ensuring accountability while channelling resources into national development.
With Monday’s vote approaching, Halim Khan urged citizens to cast ballots for the PPP/C to continue nation-building that spans beyond talk to measurable, widely-felt improvements, under “the One Guyana, One Country policy with opportunities for all”.
