Two United States (US) Congressmen have called for more political inclusion in Guyana and the country’s wealth to benefit all of its citizens.
“Guyana’s wealth is for all the people of Guyana, irrespective of their ethnicity. I urge the current government and leaders of the opposition in the National Assembly to work together towards further strengthening Guyana’s democracy and building a more inclusive nation,” Congressman Hank Johnson said in a statement on Wednesday.
He disclosed that he has been following the catastrophic floods in Guyana and noted that while the country has experienced substantial economic growth, the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent national flooding emergency are threatening to erode some of those gains.
