Georgetown, Guyana – Growing concerns are being voiced about the government of Guyana’s approach to national development and its alleged encroachment into sectors traditionally dominated by the private sector and non-governmental organizations. Critics argue that the government’s involvement in projects like hydroponics and large-scale farming represents an anti-development strategy that sidelines the private sector.

The criticism extends to the government’s alleged failure to provide essential infrastructure for development, such as roads, electricity, quality education, healthcare facilities, clean running water, and maintaining a low-crime environment. Despite these areas needing urgent attention, the government is accused of focusing on projects that, according to critics, should be the domain of private enterprises.

Further allegations include the hiring of party loyalists, described as “mediocre” and “barely literate,” to manage key government organizations. This practice, critics claim, has led to the poor performance of various government facilities and the dismissal of more qualified and experienced staff.

A significant concern is the accusation of rampant racial discrimination in governmental practices. It is alleged that the government disproportionately favors its supporters in the distribution of grants, land allocation, and other resources while neglecting or disadvantaging other communities, particularly African Guyanese communities.

Critics argue that the government’s current use of the country’s oil revenues is not in the best interest of national development. They claim that funds are being diverted into projects that allow for personal enrichment and are awarded to political cronies, rather than being used for the public good.

The call is for the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) government to refocus its priorities on creating a better life for all Guyanese citizens, regardless of their race, class, or education. The critics assert that the government should step aside if it cannot lead the country without corruption and discrimination, emphasizing that Guyana belongs to all its people.

This wave of criticism highlights the growing discontent among certain segments of the Guyanese population and raises questions about the current government’s policies and their impact on the nation’s development.
