APNU fighting for themselves, not for the people’

PEOPLE’S Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) General Secretary, Bharrat Jagdeo, flayed the Opposition for working for the betterment of themselves instead of having a genuine concern for Guyanese.

Jagdeo gave Berbicians this “food for thought” at Babu Jaan, Port Mourant, East Berbice-Corentyne, where a mammoth crowd paid homage to the party’s late founder, Dr Cheddi Jagan.

While reflecting on how the PPP has uplifted the nation and restored prosperity, he said that this development is not for one group, but instead for all Guyanese.

“So, some people may believe, oh, APNU is fighting for us, they’re not fighting for you, they’re fighting for themselves,” Jagdeo said.

He added: “The only party that you can find a home in, if you’re Afro Guyanese or Amerindian, or Mixed or Indo Guyanese that would ensure that you and your children see progress, sustainable progress, is the People’s Progressive Party.”

Mr Norton urgently needs a lesson on public policy and administration

AS a student of politics, I am struck by the irony that a potential presidential candidate, barring his disposal at Congress, appears to lack a fundamental understanding of governance, public policy, and administration, yet aspires to lead a nation boasting the fastest-growing economy, globally.
