Former Minister of Finance Winston Jordan has said the government’s proposed 2021 national budget lacks a comprehensive plan to chart Guyana’s economic recovery from COVID-19.
“You didn’t have this comprehensiveness in the budget of a medium-term strategy to bring us out of COVID-19 and return the economy to some normalcy,” Jordan said during an hour long appearance on the Facebook Live programme “In the Ring,” which was moderated by opposition parliamentarian Sherod Duncan.
In the absence of a response from the main opposition, which was absent from Friday’s presentation Sunday Stabroek contacted Jordan for comment and he said he detailed his impressions on the programme.
