“This is not empty promises or blank bullets. I am giving you the numbers; the cost to the economy; the budgetary constraints. I am giving to you the conditions through which we came up with these numbers, because you can be assured your government will implement and deliver this to you, the people of Region Nine and of Guyana”, Ali who is seeking another term said, as he addressed a large rally in Region 9.
