Assuming the 5% growth is accurate, it would have been appropriate for Finance Minister Ashni Singh or President Ramotar to make the announcement.
This is a national achievement; all Guyanese of all political parties contributed to the growth.
When the PPP/C makes the announcement, it is in effect saying only PPP people grew the economy.
Note what the PPP/C says about opposition parties while making the announcement.
Congratulations to the people of Guyana.
