President Dr. Irfaan Ali has stated that the next five years will pass quickly under his leadership, as he and his ministers are committed to working tirelessly to drive the country’s development.
He made this position known during a community meeting hosted by the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) at Mibicuri, Black Bush Polder on Wednesday,
“The next Cabinet will not know what a holiday feels like…they have to be prepared to work 24/7… those who believe they will not give their all and not put out the work, then we will have to go past you if you cant give us 24 hours. And those who believe that they will not give me their all in this plan of prosperity and they will not put out the work, and they will not put out the energy then we will have to go pass you because if you can’t give us 24 hours, then we want you to know that we will have to add people who can give us that 24 hours,” the President stated.
During his presentation, President Ali shared with the residents some of his party’s plans for the region.
“We have a plan that will give you a new Corentyne Bridge linking Suriname with Berbice. We have a plan that will give you a new four-lane Berbice Bridge just like in the Demerara River Bridge.”
Ali further detailed that the plan will see the construction of a deep water port and the country’s second gas project in Region Six.
Ali also said that Region Six will be having a medical school and opportunities for other academic pursuits.
“We have a plan that will give all your teachers, your nurses, and your children the ability to get a diploma, a degree, a master’s, a PhD right here in this region. We have a plan that will give you a four-lane road from New Amsterdam to Moelson Creek. We have a plan that will develop a new urban center in Moleson Creek. A plan that will bring back home the Guyanese from Suriname. A plan that will bring back home the Guyanese from Brooklyn, from Queens, from Toronto. A plan that will bring our people back home,” the President assured.
Ali also said the plan will ensure that all women will rise to the realisation of their full potential.
“We have a plan in which every single child can aspire to be whatever he or she wants to be knowing that their government will invest in them to be whatever he or she wants to be. We have a plan here in Region Six, that will give you your own international stadium, thousands of new houses, a national cultural market, your own entertainment complex, your state-of-the-art cricketing academy, recreational grounds with lights across every single community and every single NDC [Neighbourhood Democratic Council]. We have a plan, we have a plan that will lift you like you’ve never been lifted before.”
According to Ali, when re-elected, the next five years will be nothing short of hard work for those committed to taking the country forward.
“The next five years will feel like ten minutes with the speed of implementation and the magnitude of work that is ahead of us. It will call for relentless work…day in and day out,” he emphasised.
