Georgetown: President Donald Ronald Ramotar has denounced the move by the combined Opposition to disapprove funding for several Finance Ministry programmes, including the $450 million allocated to the University of Guyana for student loans.
President Ramotar lamented that, “here they talk about youth and young people and the student loan is trying to ensure that those students with difficult economic circumstances should not be stifled from accessing tertiary education, and then we see them axing student loans”.
He added that this loan facility is designed to assist bright, young Guyanese to further ready themselves to make their contribution to the country’s development.
“These are young people preparing for their future and their future is being placed in jeopardy by this kind of irresponsible behaviour and narrow political agenda that is being put above the development and welfare of our people,” President Ramotar said.
