Dear Editor,
In preparing my speech for Houston, I decided to review the PPP 2006 and 2011 manifestos and compare them with the AFC 2011 Action Plan. What I found was glaring incompetence and non-delivery by the Robb Street group.
In the 2006 manifesto they promised they would be “facilitating a US$300 million investment in hydroelectricity” (page 13) in the term between 2006 and 2011. Now in the 2011 manifesto this same group of perpetual promisers regurgitates that they have planned “investments in hydropower to reduce our dependence of fossil fuels.” This time, however, Amaila Falls Hydro Inc reports that the project is estimated at US$835 million.
Can you imagine this Ramotar/Jagdeo group failed to deliver on a promise to the people they made in 2006 and now in 2011, they are promising the same snake oil, only with a new flavour – $835 million of the people’s money is being demanded?
This is called duck-o-nomics.
Yours faithfully,
Sasenarine Singh
