In case your fear about the decay of our nation is not yet commensurate with rational reasons for decay, we need just look at a few things that got us here.

The pre- election season of simmering tensions, with Social Media’s open call for recipes on how to best divide the country into Indo/Partisan dominated segments, reached boiling point with the grotesque savaging of three Afro Guyanese young men...

So we got these things called Think Tanks – an alternative intellectual infrastructure fueled by a superior entitlement bias that would categorize my politics as an ideology, theirs as the softer term philosophy, which, after political manipulation, concludes that mine is so dangerous that it would have to be eradicated to preserve ‘western democracy’

The studied opinions of the professionals with knowledge of Guyana’s soil, its ratoon and plant crop, tell us unequivocally that, with status quo, the resurrection of sugar will fail, even on Easter Sunday...

Our nation's health is now judged by the character of those to whom power has been ceded.

When we said Guyana heads into a new era of criminal Government with the blessing of the International Community and the fear of its...

For those who have been asking, we are still here.Like everyone else we are awaiting the results of our General Elections so we...

Madame’s ‘smaller parties too’ vision of governance has elevated ambition beyond practical application. It’s a broad stroke approach to brokering that her Conservative Party Government has deployed several times to satisfy that image they peddle – ‘Peace Keeper’.

While the recount continues to hold the attention of the electorate who voted to select the President and Party of their choice, there is,...

Lobbying and Bribery are often alternated, with lobbying unflatteringly referred to as bribery in a suit.
