Gov’t committed to overall development of citizens

Prime Minister Brigadier (Ret’d) Mark Phillips yesterday reiterated his government’s commitment to the overall development of Guyanese.

The Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) said Phillips made the remark yesterday during his speech at the virtual 18th ParlAmericas Plenary Assembly, where he also outlined some of the steps the government has been taking to ensure “fairness and equitable development” under its “One Guyana” policy approach in the administration of the affairs of the state.

“We understand very well that it is the people who elected us into the offices that we hold and the power, therefore, belongs to them. Hence, our services are entirely to and for them… we take care in the way we operate to ensure that no one person ever feels disadvantaged or excluded for any reason,” Phillips was quoted as saying in an OPM statement
