A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) yesterday outlined a number of initiatives it will undertake to give Guyanese a better life if it is elected by the people during a rally on Saturday at New Amsterdam, Berbice.
Among the speakers were Dr Rupert Roopnaraine, former finance Minister and economist Carl Greenidge and APNU presidential candidate Retired Brigadier, David Granger.
All of the speakers urged Guyanese to do away with race and racial voting which is killing Guyana. They stated that all the parties that win votes at the next general elections will be welcome on board to join the next cabinet.
Speaking at the well-attended rally, presidential candidate David Granger said the PPP government must go because it is bent on their old way of dividing the country along racial lines.
He mentioned corruption, drug trafficking, crime, money laundering, unemployment, piracy murder and robbery among other as the hallmark of the present Government and stated that the murder rate in Guyana per capita is three times that of the United States. Granger also pointed out the poor ratings many of the international agencies have bestowed on Guyana including the IMF, the US State Department and Transparency International among others.
He promised that education would be his key in a new government led by him and noted the many street children and school dropouts in the society.
Granger then outlined a number of initiatives his government will undertake to ease the pressure on Guyanese and give them a better life.
Former Finance Minister, Carl Greenidge in his address outlined a number of plans that an APNU government will take to bring relief to Guyanese and help turn the country around.
And Dr. Roopnaraine spoke about the benefits of a coalition government and urged all Guyanese to get on board.
