Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday laced into government for not showing evidence of a development plan for the country and simply sitting and waiting for oil revenues.
Speaking at a Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA) business luncheon at the Pegasus Hotel, the former two-term President also urged the APNU+AFC administration to take decisive steps to have the Caricom Common External Tariff (CET) removed on a list of raw materials vital for local producers.
In July, out of the blue, the government announced that the CET was being enforced on the list of goods. The CET on these particular items had not been enforced for years but the administration said it was bound by treaty obligations to implement the import taxes.
