The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) on Thursday accused the Government of flip-flopping on the question of an increase in the tolls for the Demerara Harbour Bridge.
On Wednesday Stabroek News reported that the state-owned Guyana Chronicle reported a day earlier that cabinet had approved “slight” increases in tolls for motor cycles and cars. The Ministry of Public Infrastructure later said that there was a proposal before Cabinet but a decision was still to be made.
At a press conference on Thursday held at the party’s headquarters, PPP/C Member of Parliament Juan Edghill told the media that there seems to be some amount of flip-flopping. “There will be the announcing and then the denial. We saw it with the salary increases (for Cabinet ministers).”
