Infrastructural development is a primary focus in Guyana. In light of this, proprietor of Sheriff Security Service and Sheriff Homes Ameir Ahmed built over 1400 feet of roads in his Richmondville community.
In an interview with the Guyana Chronicle, he stated that he thinks the private sector can assist the government in development if it wants to see Guyana takes its rightful place at the top.
He said, I have always believed that the government’s input alone cannot get Guyana to where we as a people envisioned it to be. I have always been vocal about this and while I know that we as the private sector are giving back, I do think that we can give more through development and creating jobs.”
Explaining the long term benefits of such projects, Ameir said, “By investing in projects such as these, we are creating employment for the contractors, laborers, the persons who are bringing the sand, machinery operators, the hardware store owners, and so many others.
Everyone is benefitting, and that’s the whole idea behind these investments.
He further explained that this would help families, and that any successful businessman will tell you that this is how we move forward at a faster pace, by working together with both the private and public sectors.
