Berbice : David Granger, Presidential Candidate for A Partnership for National Unity and the Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) coalition told residents of Ituni that President Donald Ramotar has failed to show leadership in developing the Upper Demerara-Berbice Region (No.10).
Granger made the statement at an APNU+AFC coalition public meeting held at the Ituni Community Centre Ground last evening. He added that the PPP was deceptive, giving the false impression that it was serious about providing employment for youths and fixing essential infrastructure such as the atrocious Kwakwani-Ituni and Ituni-Linden roadways.
Granger reminded residents that the Region – comparable in size to Kuwait – possessed abundant mining, farming, logging and tourism potential which are being exploited by foreign companies. He iterated his support for foreign direct investment but insisted that there must be a ‘level playing field’ for Guyanese citizens and communities who must be given the opportunity to share in the bounty of their homeland.
Granger emphasized that, with visionary leadership and good governance, the Region, which has borders with seven other regions and was the gateway to Region No. 9, could be transformed into an important development hub.
He shared the platform with People’s National Congress Vice-Chairman Dr. George Norton; Chairman, Sharma Solomon and Vice-Chairman Byron Lewis of Region No. 10 and Alliance for Change RDC Councillor Rutherford.
