Let me add, GUYANESE PEOPLE WILL WORK WITH THEIR LOCAL LEADER MORE FREELY TO ACHIEVE BETTER. YOUR HELP SHOULD BE DIRECT TO LOCAL LEADERS AND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY NOT THROUGH THE HANDS. .YES HANDS OF THE GOVERNMENT. YES IT CAN BE DONE. STRONG COMMUNITY BRING STRONG REGION. .STRONG REGIONS BRING A COUNTRY.
Let’s assume they want to help.It should be transparent. Let the people choose their local leader. A genuine local government is the only option left for the country to be on the right track. Local leaders should not be appointed there by Ministers.I am absolutely sure that some of this government action you all are not pleased with. So I say to you all HELP PUT A LOCAL GOVERNMENT THE PEOPLE CHOOSE. GUYANESE PEOPLE WANTS BETTER, IT’S GOVERNMENT THAT MAKES IT BAD.
