Unlike the criminals you so love who deposited the country’s money into personal accounts,,,lol
Wow and the coalition said they inherited a bankrupt economy and the coffers were bare. Yet they spending on big salaries for themselves and could still find money to do this. They really lied to the Guyanese people.
Tax payers from Essequibo, Demerara, etc. that doesn’t cross the bridge are still paying for all those rich drivers to get richer.
The PNC always find ingenious ways to squander and drain the treasury only to run the country bankrupt.
