Finally, in all of Guyana, one man – Glenn Lall, owner of Kaieteur News – has found the gumption, and moral courage to stand in the middle of the road and tell the Government and oil companies that he will not sit idly by and allow the looting of Guyana to continue. Glenn speaks for…
Both the PNC and PPP came to power through “crossover voters” in 2015 and 2020, and hung by a thread of a one-seat majority. In 2011, the PPP was a minority Government by one seat. In politics now, the “crossover” voters matter for any party to win an election! What the PNC and PPP need…
My friend Suresh said, “There are not enough ‘cuss words’ to describe the treasonous oil contract signed by the PNC” and which the PPP vowed they would not renegotiate. The Exxon Head had said that at election time, both parties promised they would not renegotiate the contract. That puts the oil companies, PNC and PPP…
An African proverb says, “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” The Government chose to go fast and alone in force-feeding the Natural Resource Fund Act on the nation, using its one-seat majority. Despite its sloganeering about “One Guyana,” the PPP’s engine room essentially told the…
There is a saying, “The more you watch the less you see; the less you watch, the better for me.” The PPP/C seems bent on using its one-seat majority to railroad the repeal of the original NRF Act approved by the Coalition, replacing it with its own bill, and reducing the Public Accountability and Oversight…
Observers say the PPP/C is stealthily rushing its new NRF bill (and repealing the APNU+AFC’s NRF Act already passed) while the nation is distracted by yearend festivities. Knowing how “politricks” work in Guyana, this is a plausible explanation for the rush. Exxon, Hess and CNOOC are shipping away the bulk of our oil wealth, leaving…
I would like to suggest that the first pot of NRF money be dedicated towards a massive infrastructure plan, similar to what President Biden did when he got in. Let’s fix all the roads and bridges! You can call it the “Highways to Happiness” Plan if you want. This can be the “tipping point” for…
The PNC is in a bad place right now. Following the heels of its failed attempt to rig the 2020 elections, in full view of a watching world, the two top candidates running for Party Leader were leaders of the extreme wing claiming dead people flew to Guyana and voted and sneaked back out and…
So now we know why after a year and a half the Guyana Natural Resource Fund – NRF (the money we get from oil) held in a New York Bank was not activated and the oil money was just sitting there not earning any interest. It appears as if the Government was figuring out how…
