The onus is now on the President to take action against the gutter men of Guyana.”“Now that he has picked up the cudgel,Authentic Marcus Morris Pistons Jersey, the President will be well advised to examine closely the award of contracts in the mining and construction sectors of Guyana,Tobias Harris Pistons Jersey,” said Harmon.The Member of Parliament articulated his hopefulness that in 2014 the Executive can work with the Legislature to ensure that the resources of the country are utilized for the benefit of all Guyanese and not just a few.“We have no right to be ranked as the second poorest nation in CARICOM (Caribbean Community and Common Market) by the World Bank. This government has brought us all to shame not only in Guyana but abroad.“It is my further hope that all Guyanese in the public and private sector,Dwyane Wade Bulls Swingman Jersey, workers all join with the opposition in fighting for a better life for all and that the heart of the few in the obscenely rich cabal will be motivated to free up some of the wealth to the benefit of the majority of poor Guyanese.” |
