Aubrey Norton

Making his presentation on budget 2024, Leader of the Opposition, Aubrey Norton yesterday unveiled a People-Centred Development Strategy (PCDS) which he said that an APNU administration will focus on if elected.

Norton believes that the PPP/C government is distributing Guyana’s resources in an “unfair way”, that is, to only a certain set of people in the country, as he called the 2024 budget one of “deceit” which sets out to fool the people of Guyana and make the average Guyanese believe that there is something in it for them, “there is nothing.”

According to him, while budget 2024 highlights several projects, the reality is that the government cannot complete those projects. Pointing to the Skeldon sugar and fibre optic cable projects, Norton said that if one is to judge the PPP/C on those projects then the gas-to-energy project is destined for failure.
