General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C), Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo said better-paying, investment opportunities for citizens and further cushioning the rising cost of living will be part of the party’s development plan for the country if re-elected.Dr. Jagdeo, who is Guyana’s Vice President, shared some details from the party’s manifesto at his weekly press conference on Thursday.He said the manifesto will be shared shortly but ahead of that document being made public, he vowed that the PPP/C will continue the work it has been pursuing since in government from 2020.“We will focus heavily on better paying jobs for people (and) the quality of our labour by better education and higher paying jobs,” he revealed.Part of the party’s plans too, Jagdeo said, would be to create “investment vehicles” that would allow Guyanese, especially Guyanese youth, to have a stake in national projects.“We want to create more investment vehicles that can give guaranteed returns… we can easily borrow cheaper but we can give people a return on investment than parking their money in the bank,” he said.Qualitative issues, Jagdeo said, are a huge focus of the party going forward.“This issue of domestic violence is a major one. We’ve signed onto all the conventions, we passed all the laws but we have to get hold of that. That and traffic… while serious crime has come down, domestic violence and extreme ones have not grown but are still very very prevalent. We have to think about that,” Jagdeo said.Earlier in his press conference, he highlighted that the largest-ever expansion of infrastructure is unfolding in Guyana under the current PPP/C administration.
