PPP presidential hopeful, Donald Ramotar, could not be serious when he told Arnon Adams of the Guyana Review that he plans to campaign on continuity.This was emphasised by AFC Treasurer, Dominic Gaskin, at the party’s weekly media briefing held at its Fourth Street, Campbellville headquarters yesterday.He said the AFC believes that such an approach to governance is a recipe for further underdevelopment. “These empty outpourings, however, do allow some insights into the PPP’s programme for Guyana…On the economic front, if Guyana were to continue on its current trajectory, we will continue to be primarily a commodity producer unable to generate substantial wealth and subject to all the volatility associated with such.”Adding that this will see no improvement in the lives of most Guyanese, Gaskin said the AFC’s economic plan on the other hand will see a transformation of the productive sectors with an emphasis on adding value to commodities currently produced thereby increasing foreign earnings and creating jobs.He said that Ramotar’s recent comments in the media to the effect that he is prepared to reduce the VAT must be seen by the “Guyanese people for what it really is: an awkward election gimmick.”Gaskin noted that for years,wholesale jerseys china, while opposition political parties, distinguished economists and accountants, consumer groups, trade unions and others clamoured and pleaded for the VAT to be reduced, pointing out in the process that the onerous 16 per cent rate was arrived at by erroneous mathematics, Ramotar sat silent.Adding that while the Guyanese people felt the burden of VAT eating into their already meager disposable income, Gaskin said that Ramotar and the PPP comforted the population by pointing out that their VAT burden was among the lowest in the Caribbean. The Guyanese people will not be hoodwinked by Ramotar’s VAT gimmickry.The record will show that the AFC even before the publication of its Action Plan called for the VAT to be lowered.He further said that Ramotar’s comments in this month’s Guyana Review regarding crime are truly mind boggling. Has it really taken his party 19 years in office to conclude that “we have to fight crime using more modern technology, more updated laboratories, using DNA?“This is a severe indictment of this administration’s complete failure to adequately equip our law enforcement agencies.”The Disciplined Forces Commission in its report of 2004 noted, “The emergence of DNA as a highly reliable tool for crime investigation has not escaped the attention of the GPF since the GPF often solicits the assistance of their counterparts in Trinidad and Tobago for DNA to be carried out.“Despite this recognition, there has been no aggressive drive on the part of the administration of the GPF to attain any level of capability in this area of crime detection. It is not prudent to continue to rely on Trinidad and Tobago for assistance in this area.”The Commission even recommended that a scientific laboratory of the GPF must be served by scientific experts citing that “The system of rank and regimentation will always be a deterrent to such experts joining the membership of the GPF. The GPF should contract the services of such experts in the society at large without any requirement at such experts to be members of the GPF.”He said that no amount of circumlocution on Mr. Ramotar’s part will disguise the fact that his party has failed to put in place the necessary infrastructure to scientifically fight crime.
