WILL THEY SAY POSITIVE THINGS OR NEGATIVE THINGS? FOR SURE NOTHING GOOD HAS BEEN SAID AS YET ESPECIALLY CONCERNING TICKETS. THINK ABOUT IT, WE NEEDED THOSE PEOPLE TO SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT GUYANA AND MAYBE FINALLY THE TOURISM SECTOR COULD HAVE HAD THE BOOST THEY REALLY NEED.

The response, in ridiculing the messenger, is an attempt at diverting from facing the facts and realities in the era of the new dawn. Carifesta presented the opportunity for the unaccountable movement of a huge amount of cash. Anyone who is in line with the concept of the "new dawn" would expect accountability and therefore would not subscribe to the above opinions. There were a lot of irregularities as is expected in this new dawn Guyanese culture. Investigations will go no where because if it does a whole lot of people will revealed to be crooks but not necessarily end up in jail.

Schools need repairs, helicopters need repairs, boats need to be supplied to fight piracy, police need pay raise, police need better equipment, police need training, public servants need benefits etc. and the government spent hundreds of millions of dollars on carifesta. Makes me wonder about that economics degree. Good luck to Kit and anyone else who believe the government will ever tell them anything about how the money was spent.
