That's why I did not offer a comment.

I have managed too many political campaigns to know what is said on the platform when there are no fact checkers around.

or what can be said on a message board.

big grin

Last night Greenidge went on TV saying that the PNC laid all the infrastructure in the country, that the PPP is building on that.

What I remember from my youth(PNC days), is my grandmother had a shower and an upper floor flushing toilet, but it did not work. She told me previously, in colonial days, the water pressure used to reach upstairs and all the plumbing would work. However, at that moment, nothing worked, we had to fetch water from the well.

Under PPP rule, over 10 years ago, my grandmother started receiving water again to the upper floor of her residence.

I think Greenidge was trying to say, "laid waste" to the infrastructure of the country

To be honest, if you go many places in GT, ppl still have to fetch water because it doesn't reach the upper flat, hence the continued culture of water tanks and pressure pumps.
Just drive around the Young Professionals housing schemes and the massive housing projects up the East Bank. Most houses are being built with a style to partially hide the water tanks.
It's still an issue.

True, but at least you get water at a decent pressure in your yard. In PNC times, my other grandmother had to dig a 6 foot hole in the ground so the pipe could be lowered and you can get some pressure...the whole village came to get water from that pipe.

Is 85 - 92 I talking about, and the great point the APNU-AFC making these days "Hoyte brought by fair and free elections", he was pressured into it, just like he was pressured to economically restructure the country
