– businesswoman stirs up crowd

On the wings of a fiery address by Bartica businesswoman Kamal Persaud, APNU+AFC presidential candidate David Granger on Sunday night laid out a plan for the Region Seven township focused on massive infrastructure, bolstered security and better health care.

“Without Bartica and the Cuyuni/Mazaruni region Guyana cannot move forward,” Granger said.

It was APNU+AFC candidate George Norton who set the fiery tone for the rally as he spoke of the atrocities faced in the heath sector specifically for residents of Region Seven.

He announced that should the opposition alliance be elected to office they would ensure that the system for the procurement of drugs was transparent and scrap the current system where only New GPC has been pre-qualified to supply the public health system.
