Georgetown : Former President Bharrat Jagdeo on a statement today on the Presentation of the 2015 National Budget says “The Minister of Finance was lengthy in generality and lofty goals in his budget speech, but failed miserably to be specific in policy prescriptions and initiatives to address the pressing issues facing various constituencies in Guyana.  He shamelessly presented many of the PPP/C Administration’s projects and programmes in health, education, housing and water,  roads, draining and irrigation, enhancing accountability and the environmental services sector among others  as new initiatives. It is seriously underwhelming.”
