Guyanese from all walks of life can now breathe easier following the brave announcements by President Bharrat Jagdeo, Wednesday afternoon, shortly after returning from an overseas visit, aimed at further cushioning the effects of rising prices and making the cost of living more manageable.

Happy over measures to ease cost of living
I was given some level of hope yesterday morning when I opened the newspapers and saw that the government will be taking further measures to ease the cost-of-living on Guyanese, a phenomenon which is facing countries worldwide.

Tap on the shoulders
Elated as one can be, I have to tap myself on the shoulders for my instincts never failed me when I stated in GC letter dated April 4, 2008 “Most unforgettable song competition” that the top three finalists of the awesome “American Idol Song Competition” will be Sayesha and the two David’s. Indeed, it was […]
