Dual citizenship dilemma in Jamaica
THE CURRENT unsettling political situation in Jamaica involving the dual citizenship case that has led to a disqualification ruling against elected parliamentarian for West Portland, Daryl Vaz, and for holding of a by-election, may have a warning for quite a few in Caribbean Community states with similar constitutional provisions governing nomination and election of candidates […]
The people must not pay increases in bus fares
Guyanese, the commuting public in particular, are now breathing with more comfort, following the announcement on Thursday that there will be no increases in bus fares on routes throughout the country.
This announcement which is welcomed by all came following a meeting between President Bharrat Jagdeo and the various minibus associations throughout the country at the […]
Disgraceful and disgusting
The utter disrespect paid out to the Guyanese Commander-in-Chief last Thursday outside the Parliament Buildings in Georgetown was not only uncalled for but it was totally disrespectful. I have never heard of certain people of a country burning effigies of their presidents within that country. It is a very disrespectful act. How ridiculous and unreasonable […]
Guyanese know better
In order to fully understand Corbin, one needs to know his agenda.
Don’t worry, this is so easy that even a dunce can figure it out with his eyes closed and his hands behind his back. Burnham’s leadership was questionable, but to the likes of Corbin, he was the one to emulate. Now, Corbin is nowhere […]
Putting Guyana first
As the Major Third World Powers of The African Union and India continue their collaboration on the International Scene it is disconcerting as an Indian Guyanese when we examine the African/Indian relationship in the past and present.
We look at places like Uganda, Jamaica, Trinidad and Guyana and it seems that there is an African/Indian problem […]
Detrimental to Guyanese workers
It is clear that Guyana must seek trading partners outside of the Caribbean. What Jamaica is trying to do with our rice is unacceptable. Time we stand up for fair practices for our products and citizens. We are entitled to mutually beneficial deals consistent with world prices.
The days of being a stepchild of the area […]
Kudos for Food for the Poor
I am living overseas, but I am originally from the St. Cuthbert’s Mission in Guyana. I know that Guyana is now developing and the people are still facing numerous social problems. I also know that poverty is very prevalent. What has assured me that the country is getting better and that one day most of […]
Race and politics neither part of the solution
Too many issues facing Guyana are tainted by race or politics. Complainers/protesters believe that they are neither part of the problem or the solution.. A letter written by an “ex soldier” which was criticized serves as a case in point. The successes and failures of the government are known. What is the record of […]
The people need to help
The increasing cost of fuel has seen the rise in prices of almost everything. Guyana, like all other countries is feeling the effects of the global food shortage. I have read of the Guyana government’s efforts to cushion this problem. Excise taxes have been taken off certain commodities like flour and split peas etc, restrictions […]
