The opposition PNCR yesterday called on the government to take measures to restrain the rise in the cost of living including the introduction of “temporary price ceilings” and “consumer food subsidies”
On Tuesday, President Irfaan Ali, while explaining the reasons behind steadily rising food prices, had frowned upon the idea of implementing price control measures as a cushioning mechanism.
“I would not ever take Guyana back to any system that did not serve us well,” the President said.
