‘Come to me, I will take you out of poverty within 1 to 6 months’ – Outgoing PSC Chairman Komal Singh
…says Guyana has too many opportunities for people to still claim poverty
Kaieteur News- Outgoing Chairman of the Private Sector Commission (PSC), Komal Singh, on Tuesday issued a bold challenge to Guyanese who say they are living in poverty, arguing that the country offers ample opportunities for those willing to work.
Singh was speaking at the PSC’s 33rd Annual General Meeting (AGM) as he concluded his two-year term as Chairman.

During his remarks, he urged unity and optimism about the country’s future. “There is a big future ahead of Guyana. Let us all work collectively as a team. As Guyanese, this country has a wonderful opportunity that we should all capitalize on,” he said.
Addressing the issue of poverty, Singh pointed to the growing economy and dismissed claims from some quarters that people have no way out. “I can understand people living in poverty if there is no opportunity. In a country where there is an abundance of opportunity, I’m challenging anybody out there publicly who tell me they’re living in poverty come to me; I’ll take you out of poverty within one to six months,” Singh boldly stated citing that he knows the AGM is being aired live.
He noted, however, that personal effort and discipline are key. “You cannot come out of poverty if within you, you don’t want to come out of poverty,” Singh said. He added that those seeking help must be willing to work six days a week and commit to changing their mindset.
“There is a wonderful opportunity ahead of us in this country. Let us all work towards building our goals, reaching our goals, improving our family lives for the betterment of all in this country,” he concluded.
