Dear Editor,
I was offered a house lot in Good Hope new phase on the East Coast of Demerara. There is only one entrance leading to the new scheme. The roads are desplorable with numerous potholes. Part of the village road was maintained but nothing was done to other streets. Editor, I feel like I have no voice or nowhere to turn. I’m frustrated and discussed with government representatives going on record in the print and electronic media about the massive housing projects across the country, and what the government is doing for people. But if you visit these areas you will see that nothing is being done to encourage young people to stay in this country.
I admit I voted for PPP in 2011; I didn’t expect or want a free hand-out, but if this is how you will be treated as a young Guyanese it is unbelievable. Editor, I wanted to emphasize that point because if you write and criticize the PPP government you are termed the opposition. Getting the house lot and the process was taxing and the house lot wasn’t in any way cheap; it cost $400,000. Now I want to begin construction and move my family into our own new home, but I can’t take my family to an area that is lacking basic resources for a normal life.
Yours faithfully,
Michael Sam
