In the release, the People’s Progressive Party has extended congratulations to the Government for another landmark achievement, in the form of the state-of-the-art Synthetic Athletic Track at Leonora, West Coast Demerara. This is the fulfillment of a promise by the PPP/Civic in its manifesto.
The PPP has always stated its firm commitment to the development and expansion of sports and the requisite facilities to help our sportsmen and women reach their full potential and continue to represent Guyana well internationally.
This state of the art facility will see Guyana hosting more international athletics competitions, which fits into the PPP/Civic government’s ongoing efforts to promote another tourism product – sports tourism.
We are also heartened at the ongoing support of the Government to other sporting organizations to establish more facilities for Guyana’s athletes, including the Guyana Karate College’s Dojo, The Athletics Association of Guyana Headquarters, hockey field, the Guyana Football Federation’s Goal project, just to list a few.
We wish to state as a matter of public record that the successive PPP administrations have never shirked their responsibilities when it comes to the promotion of sports and support for our athletes. The evidence is in the public’s domain to show.
Under the PPP/Civic the Guyana National Stadium at Providence was constructed; the Albion Sports Complex was refurbished and fitted with flood lights, making it ideal for night cricket, football and other sporting events. It is under the PPP/Civic government that hundreds of millions of dollars are invested in sports and sporting facilities.
One would recall that prior to 1992 there were no proper sporting facilities in Guyana, the few cricket and football grounds stayed alive because of private associations’ investments.
Since the PPP/Civic took office, the budgetary allocations for this sector, like every other, continuously increased every single year, the release informed.
The PPP recommits itself to continuously improving the landscape to help our athletes reach their full potential, the document concluded.
THIS IDIOT TELLING GUYANA WE HAVE NO SAY IN THE 50% PROFIT SHARING AGREEMENT WE HAVE WITH EXXON.
