Calling the 2020 emergency budget a “colossal disappointment,” Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon yesterday knocked the PPP/C government’s refusal to increase the salaries of public servants while saying that the administration is engaging in wasteful spending.
Harmon, during a press conference yesterday, said the budget has, among other things, failed to address the needs of the working man and woman “even though we all know, and the PPP knows, that Guyana is in its first full year of benefitting from our vast oil resources.”
He said the APNU+AFC is appalled by the “callous” treatment of ordinary Guyanese by the PPP, particularly public servants “our health care workers, our teachers and our joint services.”
