Guyana President Dr. Irfaan Ali
Guyana President Dr. Irfaan Ali has defended his government's policies to aid the working class.
Dr. Ali says the government had created more than 50,000 new jobs since August 2020.
The creation of 50,000 jobs had been a manifesto promise of the governing party in 2020.
But there has been no known compilation of the number of jobs created, the sectors in which they are located nor any independent review of these figures.
The Guyana president's statement comes in the aftermath of criticism over the government's handling of wage talks with teachers which resulted in a four-week strike.
The government had refused to hold collective bargaining talks with the teachers' union.
