Stabroek News, as in past years, has highlighted the ‘Ram and McRae 2024 Budget Review,’ which provides a readable synopsis and commentary on the budget proposals. During the course of this week, in the Budget debate in the National Assembly and in the consideration of the Estimates, both the Government and Opposition will have the opportunity of presenting their respective visions of Guyana’s development prospects over the next year. Although this will provide some detailed information on the thinking of the political parties, it will unfortunately, not be as enlightening as it could be because the Parliament Chamber has become a loud and raucous place where abuse has taken the place of creative interventions.
