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 […]
Carifesta must go on
It is often said that when events of a national flavour take place, all are involved, regardless of which political party is in power. Lo and behold, in the wake of CARIFESTA X coming to Guyana soon, PNCR leader, Robert Corbin, had during a recent protest march declared that if the CNS channel 6 […]
We must not forget the sufferings under the PNC
I am a strong believer in putting the past behind us and move ahead as we say life goes on. But we must not forget the sufferings we endured in this country under successive PNC governments.
Today many letter writers including myself make our own assumptions and opinions regarding issues that need addressing or maybe just […]
An affront to the memory of Forbes Burnham
The recent statement of Mr. Corbin about making the upcoming Carifesta X unmanageable is an affront to the memory of the late founder leader of the PNC Mr. Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham.

Guyana strives under democratic rule

I hold no brief for the PPP. In fact, I think the […]
Grow more food campaign endorsed

I think the government should be lauded for such an initiative which serves to stimulate agriculture diversification and ensure the sustainability of food supply […]
We must take advantage of the ‘Grow More Food’ campaign
The entire Guyanese population, including farmers, welcome the ambitious “Grow More Food” campaign which was recently launched by the Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Robert Persaud.
This campaign comes at a time in answer to the effects of rising global food prices. This has created a severe dent on the region and has resulted in unprecedented […]
We can stop the madness
By Rev Kwame Gilbert
THE Question was asked of me once: “What is Guyana’s greatest hindrance to economic and social development?” My immediate response was: “Racial conflict.”
Conflict as a whole is very complex and has many factors and conditions that contribute to its emergence and continued existence. There are structural and relational factors. Conflict is a […]
Unity is strength
The truth must be told. Guyana could be a great country of the future and a model for democracy, culture and religious tolerance. This was demonstrated over the past week when the Bahai faith ended their period of meditation and celebration of their New Year.
Rickford Burke calls on Corbin to resign as Leader of PNCR
GUYANA’s political culture, much like the rest of the Commonwealth, a political opposition has two basic responsibilities, which are functional but irreversible principles of the Westminster political doctrine and governance that is grounded in parliamentarianism.
