Trust a prerequisite for power sharing
President Bharrat Jagdeo has reiterated that trust between the ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) and the main opposition People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) is an essential perquisite towards any evolution of executive power sharing.
However, the President observed that unfortunately at the moment there is no atmosphere of trust.
He noted too for quite some time himself […]

Rampant water wastage
In as much I have reported here within these columns over the past years that the villages of Cumberland and Canefield in East Canje have been receiving water from the Cumberland pumping station for only eight hours per day, wanton wastage of water is rampant in these two areas. I discovered this for myself recently […]
Terror campaign
Even with the British presence in Guyana the slo’ fyah, mo fyah campaign is causing channa bombs to be lobbed at the Ministry of Culture (probably to support the call to boycott the CARIFESTA by making it unmanageable), and gunmen are still conducting terror campaign obviously aimed at bringing down the Democratically elected PPP Government.

Impressed with Ministry’s response
Once again I must congratulate the Ministry of Health for heightening its response in the fight against substance abuse in Guyana.
I am very much impressed that the Ministry is incorporating the business sector to respond to this issue which has been penetrating all strata of the Guyanese Society.
Reducing and preventing substance abuse is everybody’s business, […]

I distinctly remember that during a protest march organised by the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) in April, the call was made for no Carifesta until the suspension of the CNS Channel 6 licence for four months is lifted.
During that protest march PNCR Leader, Robert Corbin, stated that protest actions would be taken in an […]
A despicable act
The attack that happened on the Ministry of Culture is a despicable act. It seems that these persons have totally lost their moral groundings.
This can only be seen as a message being sent by these criminals.
What can be achieved by shooting at a building when no one is there, except to send a message? The […]
The world is watching with disgust and shame
In response to Denton Osbourne’s letter captioned “Guyanese are tired” dated May 17,08.
For you to call Jagdeo and the PPP/C Government an “evil dictator” you must first take a good, long look at Burnham and Hoyte.
Now Corbin is trying his hands at grabbing power with his so called illegal protest marches.
Corbin called the PPP/C dictator […]
