President Donald Ramotar has lash out at A Partnership for National
Unity's attack against the staff at the Ministry of Housing and the work
carried out by the Ministry in ensuring that every Guyanese own a home.
The Guyanese Head of State addressing the opening of 3rd
International Building Expo being hosted by the Housing Ministry at the
Guyana National Stadium this evening said the work of his Government,
especially the housing sector speaks for itself.
President Ramotar described the attacks on the Ministry as vicious,
which he said seeks to derail the hard and tireless efforts of the staff
at the housing ministry.
Making reference to the G $20.9B slashed from the 2012 National
Budget by the opposition parliamentary party the president noted that
such callousness is an abuse to the working class of the country.
He warned that his government will not stand idly by and allow the
opposition to taint development with corruption. The Preisdent notes
that since the PPP/C government took office the Ministry of Housing was
reinvigorated with energy with the aim of ensuring that citizens won
their own home.
Government remains steadfast ensuring that the targeted 30,000
hosuelots are distributed within the next five years. The construction
sector has contributed significantly to the country's gross domestic
product the president said.
He reiterated that his government will continue to meet the needs of
citizens hence improving their living standards despite the efforts by
detractors to derail Guyana’s progress.
