The government is actively involving residents in discussions regarding the anticipated benefits of the 2024 fiscal plan.
A ministerial outreach was conducted in four communities in Linden over the weekend, led by representatives for the region, including Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill and Minister of Foreign Affairs Hugh Todd.
Minister Hugh Todd addressed residents at the Block 22 Multipurpose building, emphasizing that the budget includes provisions aimed at benefiting every Guyanese citizen.
He assured the community that thorough research has been conducted to ensure that the budget caters to the needs of all individuals.
Additionally, Dr. Peter Ramsaroop, the Chief Executive Officer of Go-Invest, encouraged Lindeners to seize the opportunities presented by the 2024 budget.
He stressed that it’s not solely about monetary allocations but also about leveraging available resources and initiatives.
Dr. Ramsaroop urged residents not to miss out on these opportunities and to actively participate in the country’s development.
During the engagement, residents had the chance to voice their concerns to the ministerial team, who addressed their queries and issues raised.
The government officials also conducted a similar outreach at the Christianburg Community Centre, ensuring that multiple areas within Linden were reached and engaged with.
Overall, the government’s initiative to engage residents directly demonstrates its commitment to transparency and inclusivity in the budgetary process.
By soliciting feedback and addressing concerns, the authorities aim to ensure that the 2024 fiscal plan effectively serves the needs and interests of the people of Linden.
