SENIOR Minister in the Office of the President with Responsibility for Finance and the Public Service, Dr Ashni Singh, has outlined the vision of President Irfaan Ali as set out in the recently launched People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) 2025–2030 Manifesto, emphasising that it offers opportunities for all Guyanese.

Speaking during an interview with the National Communications Network (NCN) in Berbice, Dr Singh described the manifesto as a comprehensive plan that builds on the party’s achievements and charts a path toward sustained economic growth and national prosperity. He stressed that the manifesto’s benefits extend beyond national indicators to tangible improvements in individual lives.

“In our manifesto, we outline how we’re going to get there. We’re going to get there by creating opportunities—opportunities for investment, entrepreneurial activity, education and training and improved well-being. This includes the delivery of world-class social services and personal upliftment within families and communities,” Dr Singh said.

The minister highlighted the manifesto’s focus on job creation, improved livelihoods, and economic growth. A key aspect is the oil and gas sector, where the government plans to ensure more Guyanese can benefit—not just through cash grants, but through access to employment and business opportunities. Dr Singh noted that the Local Content legislation will be reviewed to expand training and employment for Guyanese in the sector.

Agriculture, another priority area, will also see renewed attention under the manifesto. Dr Singh criticised the previous APNU+AFC government for its perceived disregard for the sector, as well as for rural communities and the private sector. He contrasted this with the PPP/C’s approach, which aligns promises with action.

“Everything that the APNU+AFC did showed antagonism toward farmers, rural communities, and the private sector. They often professed support for certain groups during election periods, but acted contrary to their words. The PPP/C does not operate in that way,” Dr Singh emphasised.

He concluded that the 2025–2030 manifesto represents a credible, results-driven roadmap for Guyana, ensuring that opportunities and prosperity reach every citizen.
