Opposition Leader David Granger yesterday said that pressure would be kept on government to ensure a good life for all citizens, while defending the recent budget cuts as a move to end executive lawlessness and reduce the cost of living.

“We are not trying to bring government to a halt. We are trying to bring lawlessness to a halt. We are trying to reduce the cost of living. We are trying to reduce the poverty in Guyana. That is what APNU is about and we will stand by the workers 365 days a year. This year and every year, we want all of the labour unions to look towards APNU,” he said, during his address to those gathered at the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) Labour Day rally, at the Critchlow Labour College, at Woolford Avenue.
