Our Record of Achievement

BY WORKING TOGETHER, OUR COALITION HAS STARTED TO PUT GUYANA ON THE RIGHT PATH.

Our government came to power on a simple promise: to deliver a good life for all Guyanese. A simple promise that every citizen should have the opportunity to be the best he or she can be, ensuring job security, access to quality public services and the promotion of social cohesion.

The Guyana we inherited was heading backwards. During their 23 years in government, the PPP’s dishonesty and incompetence saw violent crime increase, infrastructure crumble and education standards fall.

We did not create this mess that Guyana is in, but we will take responsibility for fixing it and building a secure society for all Guyanese people.

By working together, our coalition has started to put Guyana on the right path.

We have made a start, but we need more time to finish the job and build a better future for Guyana.

Only by continuing to follow this plan will we be able to guarantee a better future for all Guyanese.

MUST READ!!!!

“As an opposition member of parliament, I must emphasize that the PPP government has repeatedly demonstrated that it does not have the best interests of the Guyanese people at heart.

Their policies continue to prioritize the interests of a select few, while the vast majority of our citizens continue to face economic hardship, suffer from inadequate healthcare services, and are receipents of a failing educational system.

Despite our country’s wealth in natural resources, the PPP’s lack of transparency and accountability has led to widespread mismanagement, corruption, and missed opportunities for real national development.

It is clear that the PPP government is more focused on maintaining power than on improving the lives of the people they were elected to serve.”

PRESS STATEMENT
ALLIANCE FOR CHANGE HOSTS SUCCESSFUL DIASPORA ENGAGEMENTS IN THE USA.

Members of the Guyana diaspora living in the USA are responding positively to the Alliance For Change’s (AFC) listening and grounding visit to the USA.  An AFC delegation headed by the Party Leader Nigel Hughes and including Chairman David Patterson M.P., Executive members Dr. Shamir Ally, Beverley Alert M.P, Catherine Hughes M.P. and advisor Laura George are in the USA as part of the party’s continued engagement with the wider Guyanese society. 

In New York, the AFC held meetings in Queens at which youth member of parliament Devin Sears M.P.  and long-standing AFC founding member Dr. Rohan Somar, the Party’s Advisor on Oil, Gas and the Environment Dr. Vincent Adams and AFC USA Chapter Chair Ewart Marshall all participated and presented.  

Guyanese living in New York expressed their concerns over the wanton government corruption which is taking place in Guyana while several others expressed their disgust at the Government’s shameless disregard for the rule of law and law and order. 
At a filled to capacity hall in Queens, NY, Guyanese wanted to know how they can support the call for Constitutional and electoral reforms as well as assist in taking measures to stop the outrageous corruption. Participants noted that the PPP system of doling out cash grants to their supporters reeked of  corruption and discrimination. They expressed strong interest in closer collaboration with the AFC in the run up to the next election. 

Similar sentiments were expressed at the New York City meeting where questions on possible amendments to the Cybercrime law and its negative impact on freedom of expression were made.  Strong concerns were raised about the extraordinarily high cost-of-living which was  plaguing Guyanese society.

In his address to members of the diaspora, the AFC Leader outlined priority areas for development, the Party’s commitment to building strong independent institutions, adherence to the rule of law and the AFC’s commitment to cross party medium- and long-term development planning rooted in national consensus. He lamented  the failing education system while emphasizing  the urgent need for repatriation of knowledge and skills.

Members of the diaspora were surprised to learn from AFC Chairman David Patterson M.P. that Guyana earns USD 8 million per day from oil alone.  Many wondered why high levels of poverty still persisted and why the heavy reliance on remittances from the diaspora for survival had not abated. Many were in disbelief at the very poor matriculation rates in Regin 9 coupled with blatantly discriminatory policy which saw only indigenous students being subject to the degrading use of pit latrines in 2024. The persistent high cost of electricity continued to occupy a place of priority in the concerns of the diaspora.

In Washington, Guyanese there were pleased to hear that the AFC met with US State Department officials. Many pledged their support to pressure the current administration for greater, increased transparency and accountability  in  the use and disbursement public funds. The anomalous and unexplained awards of contracts significantly in excess of engineer’s estimates to companies with little or no relevant experience, was a source of repeated comment and deep concern.  The repeated lost opportunities for broad based equitable development of all sectors of the Guyanese society was a source of great lamentation. 

The Alliance For Change was encouraged by the pledges of support from the Washington diaspora, many of whom expressed their frustration with working with the current administration and are eagerly awaiting an AFC government come 2025.  In addition to these public meetings the AFC also held  a number of private meetings with prominent Guyanese living in the USA.

PRESS RELEASE
Alliance For Change delegation meets US State Department officials 
in Washington DC

The Leader of the Alliance For Change (AFC) C.A. Nigel Hughes and his delegation of AFC Executives yesterday met with Barbara A. Feinstein, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, U.S. Department of State and Katherine Beamer, Director, Office of Caribbean Affairs.  The meeting was held at the Department of State office in Washington DC.

At the meeting the AFC Leader highlighted several issues relating to Guyana’s development and the rule of law.  High on the agenda was the need for a new registration process ahead of Guyana’s next Regional and General Elections and the production of a new list of electors. This is in keeping with recommendations from several of the Observer Missions of the 2020 Polls. 

The AFC team expressed concerns regarding the lack of feasibility studies regarding large infrastructure projects currently underway in Guyana and contract bidding processes. The two sides discussed increased cooperation between Guyana and the USA especially on the areas of institutional strengthening in the energy sector, capacity building in the public sector and state institutions, increased trade, fiscal management and accountability and natural resource management. The recent actions of the US government to sanction some Guyanese, and the likelihood of further similar actions was raised by the AFC Leader.

The Alliance For Change team expressed gratitude to the US government for their support of Guyana’s position on the border controversy with Venezuela.  

Hughes was accompanied by Chairman of the Party David Patterson MP, Executive members Professor Shamir Ally, Catherine Hughes MP, advisor Laura George and Collin Haynes.

The AFC team is in the USA for a number of meetings and public engagements. The Party held successful “Listening & Grounding” sessions with the Guyanese diaspora in New York, Washington DC and will be meeting with the Guyanese diaspora in Florida later this week.
