Change Guyana seeks votes in Linden

Young Lindener, Ryan Dey, has endorsed political party, Change Guyana, noting that Linden is thirsty for development and not much has been done in two decades.
Dey’s endorsement occurred on Thursday at Change Guyana’s weekly press conference at the Pegasus Hotel.

“I believe that this group of successful businessmen have the experience and economic plans needed for my fellow Guyanese brothers and sisters to not only live, but thrive. Mr. Badal’s life story is truly inspirational, a story of perseverance and strategy of hope and success,” Dey said.

Further, he also said the party’s PM candidate, Nigel Hinds, has served with distinction and selflessness while his dedication in the basketball arena is exceptional.
“They epitomise my view on leadership. In talks with Mr. Badal and Mr. Hinds, I understand their frustration, not only with the previous government but the current government,” he said.

He said Linden is starved of development and much needs to be done, especially when sources of employment are needed.

Dey, who holds a degree in Forestry and is a national rugby player, was critical of how past and current governments have treated the forestry sector and youths in sports.
“As a Lindener, as a sportsman, as a youth, I feel like both the two parties have failed me. Looking at Linden, I can’t help but ask what has happened to a beautiful town. Both parties are one of the same, corruption and backward movement,” he protested.
Meanwhile, after a recent visit to the mining town of Linden, businessman and Presidential Candidate of Change Guyana, Robert Badal, decried the economic state of the region.
Badal said he was disturbed with the level of underdevelopment in Region 10.
He said for years, nothing significant was done by the two major political parties to improve the lives of people of Linden; a town with major economic prospects.
“Linden and Region 10 is a case of broken promises, and it is the same tale all across rural Guyana. The tale of the role of race in the politics of Guyana,” he added.
Change Guyana plans to address this frustration among Lindeners and outlined its plan for doing so.

Prime Ministerial Candidate, Nigel Hinds said among the party’s plans for Linden and the wider Region 10 area is to establish a university campus, an aluminium plant, wood processing factory and furniture factory there.
Hinds said the party will see that there are incentives for foreign and local investors and a concentrated effort will be made to keep graduates in Region 10 by bolstering economic activity.

He said there will be major infrastructural development with the Linden to Lethem highway becoming a reality.

“This is not another broken promise; we want to change Region 10 from being an economically depressed community. The previous promises for development were plenty but lacked implementation,” he added.
Hinds also blasted the two major parties for failing to keep their campaign promises.
