Senior Minister within the Office of the President with Responsibility for Finance Dr Ashni Singh spent more than two hours on Friday night closing the debate on the 2022 national budget, where he focused heavily on the shortcomings of the APNU+AFC coalition during its time in government.
Singh, in his presentation, said that the budget is one that outlines Guyana’s transformational agenda in a way that generations of Guyanese have been waiting for.
“Sir, this government, this budget outlines an agenda for transforming Guyana in a way that generations of Guyanese have been waiting for. The energy, the gas to shore project, the Amaila Falls to deliver energy at scale using clean and renewable sources, including of course gas as a transitional fuel. At scale, delivering electricity at the level that is required to facilitate an industrial revolution in Guyana. Finally, finally, the industrial revolution about [which] foreparents have dreamt of but was unable to realize because of inadequacy and cost of power. Finally, this People’s Progressive Party government will deliver it and Budget 2022 initiates that delivery,” an impassioned Singh told the House late Friday night.
