“When it starts tightening up, we will start lightening up,” said Alliance for Change (AFC) Leader, Khemraj Ramjattan, of the Government, when he offered his passionate contribution to the penultimate session of the final day of debating the 2013 national budget.Prime Minister Samuel HindsSpeaking of proposed plans to cut various segments of the budget, Ramjattan asserted that “we have to do what we have to do to ensure that that Government across the floor comes to its senses.”In his lengthy presentation, the AFC Leader pointed out that the impression is often given of the opposition that “we are the dragons…as if we are the “Bad Johns” in the place,” but according to him, moves to make alterations and amendments to the $208.8 billion national budget, which was recently presented by Finance Minister, Dr Ashni Singh, are in fact a reflection of the fact that “we are thinking of the people out there.”“But no says the other side, absolutely no. They say that we want to do damage to the workers of this country. That is the last intent we would have ever had, but it is not part and parcel of it at all, but the reconfiguration of a budget that could have occurred during a more sincere dialogue process is now not there.”However, Ramjattan did commend the crafting of the budget by the Finance Minister and his team, at a time when there are challenges internationally, locally, as well as regionally.
