‘PPP is the only party that genuinely cares’ – Ashni Singh 

Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh told Berbicians that the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) cares for citizens and vowed that the party will be making major investments in Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne).

Dr. Singh spoke to residents of Little Africa, Region Six, during a public meeting in the area on Friday. He reminded them of the hardships felt across the region from 2015 to 2020, when the APNU+AFC coalition was in office.

The closure of several sugar estates, he said, was particularly hard on Berbicians who depend heavily on this sector. He also reminded them of the coalition’s decision to introduce new taxes and remove grants given to each schoolchild.

He compared that to the PPP’s efforts, including investments in people and the development of the region. A new bridge across the Corentyne River, and a four-lane one across the Berbice River are new investments expected to stimulate growth in the region. Dr. Singh also noted that new housing developments and investments in the social sectors are also on the cards.

Such efforts, he said, will continue once the PPP is re-elected in the September 1, 2025, General and Regional Elections. So he told the Little Africa residents that they should make the right choice and vote for the PPP.

“It’s a simple choice. It’s a choice between those who care and those who do not.

“And I want to say that the PPP/C is the only party that genuinely cares for the people of Guyana,” Dr. Singh affirmed.

In keeping with the legal requirements and within the statutory timelines post Nomination Day, GECOM has approved the APNU, AFC, Assembly of Liberty and Prosperity (ALP), Forward Guyana Movement (FGM), People’s Progressive Party / Civic (PPP/C), and We Invest in Nationhood (WIN).
