President Granger deserves a second term-Benschop

Given the APNU+AFC government’s impressive track record since assuming office in 2015, social activist, Mark Benschop, says the coalition, led by President David Granger, deserves a second term in office.

Benschop, who felt the wrath of the Opposition Peoples Progressive Party (PPP) when that party was in office, told the Guyana Chronicle, on Tuesday, that a number of things are on the table at the 2020 elections, as he noted that, “it is the most important elections in the history of Guyana.” He noted the country’s oil wealth as a critical factor at next year’s polls.
Going back in time, Benschop, who has always been vocal on topical issues, noted that at the 2020 polls, the situation is quite different when compared to 2015.
He said prior to 2015, the country was perforated by deadly drug-lords, extra-judicial killings were frequent, citizens were tortured while political opponents were jailed on ‘trumped-up’ charges.

He added that the judicial system was seen as shamelessly corrupt for the most part, the Guyana Police Force was infested with corrupt ranks from top to the bottom, while some government ministers openly harmed citizens.
