VICE-PRESIDENT and General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo has assured Region Two residents that the Dr. Irfaan Ali-led administration remains committed to building more homes, supporting families, and expanding opportunities for children and young people.

He said that the soon-to-be-commissioned Lima Regional Hospital will offer specialised healthcare services, while ongoing infrastructure upgrades will enhance connectivity, create opportunities, and uplift daily life for residents.
The Vice-President also reminded the gathering that though the past three years, which followed and inherited challenges created by COVID-19, were demanding, yet the PPP/C government has delivered “tremendous work” countrywide.
He pledged that the administration will continue to support parents, provide greater benefits to pensioners, open new lands for farming, and expand upskilling programmes, many of which can be accessed Online, to empower young people, thereby allowing them to study from home.
“We are a Party that brings people together; we are the only national Party that brings people together,” Dr. Jagdeo emphasised.

Meanwhile, an elderly Miguel Ramlall expressed appreciation for the commitment to pensioners. “I’m glad he didn’t forget the seniors,” he said. “The increase in our pension, and the care for older people show that they are thinking about everyone.”
