The opposition PPP has written the Guyana Elections Commission over allegations of inducement by Minister of Communities Annette Ferguson, who it said on the eve of voting by the disciplined services held a secret meeting with some members where she promised house lots if they voted her government back into office.
“All I want you to understand is that the prospects for the housing sector will be great when we return to government. But the only way you will be able to benefit, whether your application is in 2010 when we weren’t there or 2011 when we weren’t there…is that you have to ensure that we return to government,” Ferguson could be heard saying, in an audio recording obtained by Stabroek News.
“So tomorrow I know many of you got a date, a special date. It is whether we go forward or we go backwards. All I want say to y’all is don’t stop de progress,” she added.
