GT&T’s Cellink Plus subscribers have started to receive SMS texts giving pointers on Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) and directing them to its website; joining forces with the Office of Climate Change to promote the Strategy.
According to a Government Information Agency (GINA) press release subscribers would have received texts reading “Did you know? Guyana launched its Low Carbon Development Strategy! It saves the rainforest and supports sustainable economic growth. Visit www.lcds.gov.gy”
President Bharrat Jagdeo launched the LCDS which is a draft document of Guyana’s potential approach to advancing economic growth while combating climate change on June 8.
The public can access the document and supporting information from the aforementioned website or from the GINA website located at www.gina.gov.gy
Jagdeo need to stop flogging this dead horse. there is more to be gained from the proper management of our existing resources.
Well i guess there is a price here and i really hope Guyana benefits from it.
I don’t care about GTT’s efforts/support for the president’s ignorance (oops I mean initiative) and I am prepared to switch networks if they send that text to my phone.
Furthermore, I don’t even want to hear anything else about the LCDS, since I have not heard what it will do for the normal Guyanese, you know:
Like our teachers, nurses, etc many of whom do not make a million dollars per year after taxes;
Yet if they want a car they are expected to 2million and about for a reconditioned car, primarily because these vehicles attract 100% duties even though many of then have no less that 35000 km already on them. I guess no one taught our great economist about depreciation.
And are expected to pay as much as half or one million dollars for a 50×100 plot of land to build a house. While the state propaganda machines laud The grow more food campaign; I guess the citizens are plant in boxes.
Another president’s initiative, I guess.
I could go on……….
Actually when you buy a vehicle you have to pay 200% duty on that vehicle…..that’s the PPP government for you, and look at the state of some of the roads in Georgetown, it’s like u litterally have to beg them to fix the roads
How is the PPP different from the PHENC again? I keep asking this question but no one seems to have an answer.
4 Real, i love your comment, “support for the president’s ignorance (oops I mean initiative)”.
You are right, but look who IS supporting this Presidents’ initiative, GT&T (a monopolistic anti free market, non-competitive enterprise that is trying to win favors or something).
President Jagdeo is apparently inventing a new model for “economic development” based on begging instead of increasing savings, retaining skilled Guyanese labor, nation building, justice, increasing output and productivity, etc. etc.
Pick a problem Mr. President (Guyana has many) and fix them one at a time; you can’t just get to a developed stage with one swipe of a magic wand or simply by begging (that “low carbon development strategy” is nothing more than begging.
SadToSee
zapur, you should come and see some of our here in toronto.
please i am in toronto right now give me a road to drive on that is like Guyana? where are you in a mine in alberta? You are such a loser squiby you cannot even be honest with yourself anymore.
sa-moron, you see all them construction going on all over the place? you think they repairing good roads?
yes that is how it works here how long have you been here? in the winter the roads crack up due to the intense freezing and cold we have here and in the summer they do maintenance and fix them up.
I dont have to worry about a gunman shooting up my car when i slow down for construction.
This is one of the best countries in the world (Canada) if you dont like it get the hell out!
Go back to jagdeo.
Guyana must be commended to leading the way on Climate Change I wish the Barbados Government had such vision. Guyana is below sea level and will loose a lot of coastline due to rising sea level as a result of Global Warming.
