"according to the Guyana Poverty Reduction Strategy: 2011 – 2015".
So they were poor all along from since PPP days. Ram Goat is trying to make us believe that everybody suddenly became poor in the last three years.
Let's assume what you are saying is true, Well, the APNU/AFC had promised greatness, jobs, solve the crime problems, build the infrastructure and grow the economy. After three years everything is for the WORST. I still don't see any attempt being made to create employment or even protect the employed.
Government employees are stealing, who would you call, the police thieving, fireman a thieving, this sound like a catchy tune by this administration. Who can the poor Guyanese turn to?
The economy is growing steadily despite all the naysayers. 3.4% GDP growth is not bad in this hard guava season. The bottom has fell out of the drugs trade and the underground economy from the PPP years when everything being exported out of Guyana was laced with cocaine. Everything is not for the worst. That is PPP mantra y'all trying to preach so that you can get back in come 2020. The crime situation is improved but not ideal. Crime will never go away if that is what you're implying but a 15% reduction in serious crime is a good starting point. Government employees have always been tiefin. It didn't start in 2015. At least they are being paid a lot more than pre 2015. Read Gilly's poverty report if you think everything was rosy when the PPP was there.
Guyana always had nuff poverty and nuff nuff tiefin’.
