He described this phase in the country’s history as “a new time for Guyana, a great moment of starting over, and all of us who can pitch in must do that now and make his administration the success that the people obviously want it to be.”

He added that it is a government that has not been in office for a long time, hence it “needs time to find its feet, it needs help in finding its feet, we should all be ready to give that help”.
