“We don’t change our tune every time we speak, unlike the Leader of the Opposition”.
These were the words of Finance Minister Dr Ashni Singh as he digressed to answer heckles from the opposition during his presentation of the 2024 Budget yesterday.
On one such occasion, as he made note of the significant rise in the number of visitors to Guyana last year, comments were made that the majority of them were Guyanese. To this, Singh noted that they are indeed Guyanese who are returning, having previously left the country during 2015 to 2020 when the Granger administration took over governance.
Opposition MPs further heckled Singh that he was one among those who left the country.
