Delicia DeSilva, one of the many young candidates of the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C), is encouraging citizens to vote for the party at the upcoming polls in order for development to continue along the Pomeroon.
She was at the time delivering remarks at the party’s rally at Anna Regina, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaan).
DeSilva said as a result of the investments made under the five years of the Dr Irfaan Ali – led administration, Pomeroon can now be considered the breadbasket of the country.
She pointed to interventions made by the government to improve the lives of farmers, by addressing issues with flooding; she also highlighted the government’s move to have the dredging of the Pomeroon River.
She noted that farmers’ productions have significantly increased and they now have access to larger markets.
In fact, the PPP/C candidate said many persons who migrated out of the Pomeroon are now returning to to develop their farms.
Young people in the Pomeroon, she further explained, now have better access to higher education through the government’s online scholarship programme, GOAL.
“The PPP is not just talking about youth development, they are delivering,” DeSilva emphasised.
“I choose the PPP not because of what they have promised but because of what they have delivered,” she noted.
In this regard, she urged that come September 1, citizens should vote for the “only party that has walked Pomeroon, listened to its people and delivered real and tangible results”.
