Dear Editor,
It seems as though the Minister of Agriculture Zulfikar Mustapha has his very own admirer from the other side of the House. MP Ganesh Mahipaul is lasered in on the Minister and how his ministry has been performing. Mr. Mahipaul’s latest outbursts on the ongoing projects in Region Three and other parts of Guyana shows how narrow minded his thinking is, I can’t say I expected better because the entire opposition is near sighted when it comes to progress. I want Mahipaul to highlight at least ten projects that was executed under the APNU government and how successful these projects proved for Agriculture in Guyana.
Mahipaul said he cannot “sit idly by” and watch the supposed mismanagement of the pump station projects under the Minister. The truth is, Mahipaul and the entire APNU/PNC “sat idly” in government for five years and of course they had nothing to show for it at the end of their term.
Mr. Mahipaul is trying to paint a crooked picture of Minister Mustapha but the fact remains that the Minister and his team are in a habit of visiting sites where projects are ongoing in various parts of the country, whether it is announced or unannounced to be updated on the progress. So I do not know what Mahipaul is trying to insinuate. The pump station projects at Belle Vue, Poudereyen, Meten-Meer-Zorg are all scheduled to be completed in 2025 and progress is being made at these sites. The empty barrels can continue to make noise while development reigns.
Sincerely,
Andrew James Cameron
