Kyoto Protocol has not compensated countries like Guyana
President Bharrat Jagdeo participated in the Summit on Climate Change at the United Nations on Monday, September 24, 2007 because of his recognition of the importance of the effects of Climate Change in our world.
Our President made an interesting observation about the Kyoto Protocol at the Summit, pointing out that the Kyoto Protocol has not […]
Tribunal award just an addition to a long list of achievements by President Jagdeo
I am responding to a letter in Kaieteur News dated September 27, 2007, captioned “A ludicrous suggestion”. The writer was making reference to a letter that I wrote in the Guyana Chronicle of September 23, 2007.
Clearly, he/she was misguided and totally misunderstood the letter. The writer concluded that the letter I wrote insinuates that a […]
So proud of being a Guyanese
Today, I am so proud of being a Guyanese. Last evening I was looking at the news and heard some positive things on Guyana’s economy.
Most of all it was very encouraging to hear these words coming from Deputy Prime Minister of Barbados Mia Mottley. Barbados has one of the strongest economies in the Caribbean and Ms Mottley […]
Difficult to fathom Guyanese putting down their country
It is sometimes difficult to fathom the thinking of Guyanese both locally and overseas when they continually try to put Guyana down and claim that nothing good happens. We see the difference when visitors come and express their feelings about Guyana as compared to other countries.
Guyana contributes negligibly to greenhouse emissions
It was good to see Guyana’s lobbying efforts for standing forests reaching the international arena and our Head of State Bharrat Jagdeo again taking the lead in this regard.
I noticed in the press the President joining the dialogue with the United Nations Secretary General for support at the political level for action to address climate […]
Significant achievements in all sectors of Guyana

Would Buxton have been proud of Buxton today?
Dear Guyanese, in particular the Buxtonians, do you know where the name Buxton came from? Had he been alive, would he have been proud of what’s happening in Buxton today?
Well, briefly, Buxton was a man who fought for the abolition of slavery. A man who believed in the upholding of human rights and dignity. He […]
GOIP and APA should concentrate on protecting Amerindian rights
There was a report carried in SN 11/8/07 that the UN is putting forward an Indigenous Peoples Rights Declaration but that Guyana wishes a few clauses to be reviewed.
Guyanese Organisation for Indigenous People (GOIP) and Amerindian Peoples Association (APA) are saying that the government should go ahead and sign the document without clarification of any […]
What is so direct about DIRECT TV in Guyana?
I am a subscriber to Direct TV, and have been so for approximately one year. The question I have for Stabroek News is. What is so direct about DIRECT TV?
I am sure that I am not the only frustrated subscriber, since I have spoken with many of my friends who feel the same way […]
Let us stand firm behind the government of the day
Let took seven years of lobbying running around the world to get “JUSTICE.” It was a hard and tedious task, but I am no weakling, and I believe it takes a special kind of person to be so gifted to be involved in a venture of this magnitude that realised our sovereignty to two-thirds of […]
