1th, 2015, we made sure we had the opportunity to form the new government. Now we must govern this nation of ours for all Guyanese. We must give the Guyanese people, the people of this country, the good life we promised them; jobs, education, health, entrepreneurial opportunities, and the right to happiness, peace and security,” he declared.

“As a party in government, our approach to its business and operations must be in the first instance a support role; it must be the eyes and ears of the government. Therefore, the party must be on the ground at the grassroots and all reaches of society. In this regard, an effective functioning party machinery will be an invaluable asset… The increased membership and Congress houses are just some of the manifestations that these exaltations of the leader are taken seriously… Guyana’s green development strategy must be developed as template for the greening of Guyana. We will have a green economy, we will transition our economy rapidly …we will create green enterprises and jobs and we will inculcate green education in our schools,” he added to the thunderous applause and whistles of delegates.
