Georgetown : President Donald Ramotar last evening, at the opening of the Third annual International Building Exposition denounced the attack by the opposition on the Housing Ministry’s staff and accused them of being on a ‘crusade’ to taint everything that the government does as corrupt.
“It has been brought to my attention since I came back from the Caricom Heads of Government meeting that there was a vicious attack against the Ministry of Housing workers who are trying their best, who are doing all that they can to satisfy the needs and the demands of the population out there,” the Head of State said.
He said that this recent attack on the housing ministry’s workers, who work long days and hours, is an abuse by the opposition political elements, as their labour is being disregarded.
President Donald Ramotar believes that the vicious attack against the Housing Ministry is now being seen because the opposition does not want to see progress being made in the society.
“Because of jealousy and because they believe that if things get bad it would be better for them politically and, we cannot live with such negative feeling around us, we must be determined to push ahead because this sector – the construction sector has become a very important sector in our economy,” the Head of State said.
Recently, it was reported in some sections of the media that the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) has accused the Administration of mismanaging the distribution of house lots following a ‘One Stop Shop’ at the Guyana National Stadium, and called for an independent enquiry into the process.
