Reply to "Poverty higher among Indigenous population – UNICEF"

Amerindians have always complained of poverty.  You just don't listen if Jagdeo is indicted.

Jagdeo gave himself a pension which is the highest in the Caribbean for a head of state even though Guyana is the poorest.  Imagine he gets more than he would if he had been the PM of T&T!

Even though he isn't a retired man, given that he is the Leader of the Opposition, he still takes this pension as it is higher.

I am also willing to bet that the PPP MPs are taking their higher salary that they received as part of the same increase.

Nonsense, these indigenous people know that living in the jungle far away from the city will invariably result in lack of opportunity other than farming and mining. It in fact has been a way of life for them for 1000 years. But what is significant is that their chafe in life got worse ever since pnc took over. Jackass Granger made a show of giving a few bicycles and then abandoned them, kicking many out of jobs and giving away their lands to minders.
