President responds to Burke's attack on New York-based Guyanese who embraced him during recent visit

WATCH || President Dr Irfaan Ali has condemned the verbal assault meted out to “innocent” Guyanese within the diaspora, who recently engaged him on how their home country can prosper.
The President addressed the attack launched by Rickford Burke’s organisation, Caribbean Guyana Institute for Democracy (CGID), which called for the boycott of Guyanese-owned businesses in the diaspora that embraced the President during his visit to New York last week.

Way to go Mr. President. Whenever I listen to your speeches, especially this one, I am so proud to be a Guyanese Canadian. I have many siblings and first cousins in Queen's and Brooklyn and they all support you and your government for a ONE GUYANA. Racists and nay sayers will always try to hold on to and try to perpetuate old divisions in Guyana, but this speech really sends a message that they will not succeed. Great speech and I fully support your presidency.

[@user-jz9lt8qy4r]

The president’s oratory proficiency has developed his ability to deliver inspiring and passionate messages of unity, love, and inclusion of all constituents to create one nation with one destiny. However, speeches of plans and promises without evidence of tangible results are what they are, just speeches. Let’s hear the voices of the Guyanese constituent's endorsement of the satisfactory completion of plans and projects that directly contribute to their livelihood. Celebrating the achievements of constituents who migrated to develop another country and acquire a better life than what was available to them in their homeland is a politician’s “CON” game to secure VOTES! Show me tangible results like paying the teachers and spending that directly improves education, increasing the wages of all public servants, decreasing unemployment, and more balanced spending on the nation’s Human Resources and infrastructural development. My vote is for a government with a REAL representation of all Guyana.

[@VishnuRamdin-xe7yd]

Yea burnham was feeding guyanese rice flour for 23 years that is why guyanese left for better opportunity abroad.He was the 4 th richest black leader in the world with a Swiss Bank account.Talk about corruption. Burnham never won a free and fair election except by rigging when the Cia installed him with the help of the UF party which Peter deguar regretted.well cheddi was a stupid man to follow communist ideology and signing of the PR system of voting.

[@evil_inside1332]

@@beth1321 the old PNC government is in fact the primary catalyst for Guyanese mass migration, this is a well established fact, when you consider the level of debt the nation had in 1992 to the level it is today, the PPP has done a damn fuking good job of paying for the incompetence and corruption that was inherited from the useless disgraced PNC government. I don't know if you understand this, but when a government changes, it inherits the capital debts and contracts from the previous government - it's not a magic stick you just shake and make the problems of the past disappear. You need to avoid voting for inherently bad leaders in the first place.
