Dear Editor,
You have to give Jack his jacket and hand it to the PPP/C Party. Ever since President Irfaan Ali and his cabinet members were sworn in to office, they hit the ground running and have only paused to replenish the tank and refill the body so that, the unstoppable engine will continue to purr noiselessly as it continues to generate the power of production. Undaunted by the set backs deliberately created by the former PNC administrator, the PPP/C inherited an empty Treasury, raped by the sanctimonious gang and their cohorts who depleted the richness created by the PPP/C Party whenever the PPP governed. In 4 colorful years, the roar of the PPP/C Government can be heard in every nook and cranny of the world for the international community to respond favorably with accolades and applause to congratulate the administration for placing Guyana as one of the most productive and growing nation in the world with a high GDP of $US 22.95 B for 2024.
On the other hand, you have to call a spade a spade and grade the PNC appropriately as they unabashedly persevere in washing their dirty linen in the public. The PNC bulldozed the country and people into an impoverished nation from the moment Burnham’s hands stained the soil of this land. But the PNC is a “can’t help” institution and they have always led the race from the rear in mathematical configurations. Economics was, is and will never be their favorite subject. Under both terms of their occupancy, for 33 colossal years undermined by disgrace, dishonesty and disobedience, they deflected from default and ingloriously pulverized the economy to bankruptcy. The records speak for themselves.
President Ali and his government continues to work incessantly as they perpetually reach out to the nation to grasp with the reality of the situation and to correct the defects and short comings of the former PNC Government. The effects of a progressive PPP/C Government have been realized in numerous forms and shapes and these monumental accomplishments have translated positively to favor the pockets of Guyanese. The latest embarkment is to put $100,000 in the hands of every Guyanese 18 years and over residing in the country or overseas, as long as those in the Diaspora are in the country to receive this cash grant.
This is another latest conviction and confirmation reflecting that the PPP/C Government is a caring administrator and wants to share the wealth of the nation with the people. The holidays are approaching and Guyanese love to shop till they drop. For a large portion of Guyanese, they will feel a sense of relief to know that extra money is at hand to celebrate another “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.” Others are assured that in addition, salary increase and “back pay” will be reflected in their early December payment. Many will treasure their “bonus” envelope. The Shylocks and Scrooges sitting on the other side of the table will also secretly smile as they also will imbibe and indulge in their guilty inhibitions.
All Guyanese know to their hearts that, as they visit their churches, mosques and temples and also those who stay at home, their conscience will tell them that it is the PPP/C Government under the astute rulership of a humane President and his hard-working cabinet members and government officers, they are the true ones who have worked selflessly to provide many relief measures since 2020 to the current date to uplift their standard of living, fairly, justly and equitably, without discrimination, recrimination or marginalization. Let’s call a heart a heart.
Yours respectfully,
Jai Lall.
