Dear Editor,
Let me first say that I am not a fan of this government, but recently they gave me a house lot that I had applied for since 2016 during the tenure of the APNU+AFC Coalition. I was shocked that this PPP Government was so professional and non-discriminatory with how they handled my application because of how I would campaign against them.
Now I have to say publicly, that I was wrong, and stand corrected about the PPP Government’s house lot policy. I was led to believe that the PPP was inherently discriminatory to Afro-Guyanese and would only give their own supporters the house lots. I fed into the lies spoken by Annette Ferguson and the rest of the folks about the PPP. It is not true! Not everything is perfect with this government, but I am saying today that the opposition is wrong and must stop dissuading Guyanese who are their supporters and mostly Africans from having faith in the process.
I must say that receiving a house lot has changed my viewpoint on life and politics in general. I was able to own something of value for the first time in my life. As a young professional, I was able to break the chain of poverty and proudly show my family, who are all Afro-Guyanese that they can, too. If you know me, you should know it is a big deal. I must say that I am ashamed of the APNU+AFC Opposition for seeking to hold back the development and progress generally in the area of house lot distribution, land ownership, and other special schemes that the Government wants to pursue.
Specifically, for Afro-Guyanese, go down to the Ministry of Housing and apply for a house lot or check on the process. I have not been discriminated against.
Yours truly,
Adron Pires
