Dear Editor,
Late last year our President spoke of working with bilateral partners to arrest the rise in fertilizer prices in Guyana here. Yet farmers in Region 6 are still crying out for fertilizer prices of $10,000—12,000. Rice is $1900 for a small bag and will soon hit $2000. Produce prices will soon also rise. What steps has the government taken since our President made those remarks late last year?
I ask the news media to please make inquiries into this. The ones we elected to govern us do not care about what we have to pass through on a daily basis. I hope the rice farmers are taking note of the broken promises of this government just as it did with the coalition government. The PPP/C government that I helped vote into office, keeps disappointing me and I’m sure a lot of my fellow Guyanese brothers and sisters, and we need to remember this on Election Day, come 2025, or even before as the PPP\C government continues to mishandle the O&G sector.
Sincerely,
Brian Clementson
