Opposition Leader, Bharrat Jagdeo has blasted the APNU+AFC government for having what he said was a lazy economic policy where it is sitting back and waiting on money that it is hoping to get from oil in a couple of years.
At a press conference hosted by his office at Freedom House on Thursday, Jagdeo said he was disappointed with the economic strategy of the government which he said lives in an ivory tower or a cocoon and is delusional.
He said the government is not making efforts to get foreign investment, noting that “this is not how to change the economy. The country is hurting, the business community is hurting and poor people are losing their jobs.”
Jagdeo added: “Go to the construction sites or many of the business places that can’t meet payroll and find out how many people are being laid off.”
