As a Guyanese who left home since 1972 am proud of the accomplishment. We as Guyanese should come together and support the PPP Government to tackle more of these kind of projects and finish them. This bridge is a "trial and error", we have to keep on working at it until we get it right. This bridge needs your support. My father used to say Success is failure, you have to fail and fail again, until you get what you want, you have not succeeded. This bridge is an accomplishment. Congradulation to the PPP and President Bharat Gagdeo. What’s all these negative comments about the floating bridge. As a Guyanese who left home since 1972 am proud of the accomplishment.

Should the PUC not be involved in rate monitoring and fixing?

You get no place doing that. Tell the "Big ones" that they mess up again. Do so in plain, simple and direct language. But then in Guyanese society purile expression is a requirement for peaceful existence. Perhaps all too obvious but certainly not to be overlooked is the level of incompetence exercised by the Government agency that was responsible for the road construction immediately approaching the bridge. See, I said it..LOL. There is no "if I am wrong" when it is clearly evident, that in the Government's rush to show something tangible for its disfunctional years in office that it decided to build a bridge (great idea). But in doing so the "cart was put ahead of the horse". The load will eventually get there, even if the cart has to be pushed. ISNM Convoluted logic and fear of expression.
