Former Mayor of Bartica, Gifford Marshall, says he is ready to work with President Dr Irfaan and the People’s Progressive Party/Civic over the next five years for the betterment of the Region Seven township.
Speaking for the first time on the PPP/C platform, Marshall recalled that when he broke ties with the PNC-led APNU and publicly announced his endorsement of President Ali for a second term in office in July, he was called all sorts of names. However, he remains strong and is ready to work with the Ali-led PPP/C for the betterment of his community, the region and the country.
According to Marshall, for too long, Bartica has struggled with racism, division and divisiveness, but it’s now time to work together.
“My children and your children should not have to endure the struggles and the division and the racism that we have seen in the past because…we have to work together,” he declared.
The former Bartica Mayor added that he is even more motivated after having worked with PPP members over the last few weeks – the likes of current Natural Resources Minister Vickram Bharrat, who asked for them to work together for the betterment of the country.
“So even as we have persons right now spewing the hate and division, we have persons who are committed to…a united Guyana, committed to a better country and those are individuals we have to join shoulders with and improve our country… Barticians, let’s take the love to every home and every community and ensure we have a united Guyana,” Marshall noted.
