President David Granger has spoken confidently of a second term for the ruling APNU+AFC Coalition.
Asked on last’s week edition of the television programme, the Public Interest, to grade his government’s performance in the last 18 months Granger said that his government has done much in light of what they inherited and that the Guyanese public can look forward to better in “the second tour of duty”
Granger stressed that since entering office in May 2015, his government has had to work hard to clean up the mess left by the PPP/C administration.
“The efforts that we have made over the last 18 months have been phenomenal, in terms of trying to make Guyana a law-governed country and to introduce due regularity into government’s business,” he argued noting that efforts continue to be stymied by corrupt persons in the system.
“Some of the persons who have been corrupted by that period..public servants for example, members of the law-enforcement agency are still around and we are dealing with those problems on a daily basis,” he stated adding that “some of the so-called administrative problems are legacies of the previous administration.”
He however promised that the “Guyanese public can look forward to a much-improved quality of governance by the time we come to the end of our first tour of duty [and] in the second tour of duty, I think we would see faster movement once we would have cleared up the backlog of cases we would have inherited from the PPP Administration.”
