-Jagdeo says many initiatives have been taken
APNU and the AFC have hit back at the government over what they see as the downplaying of a serious rise in the cost of living.
The issue has been brought into the spotlight by a long-running series in the Stabroek News which interviews people all across the country on the cost of living and which has underlined a sharp rise in prices in all sectors and the difficulty with making ends meet.
Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo has derided the testimonies reported by this newspaper and contended that the efforts being made by the government to ease the cost of living are not being reflected in the interviews.
