Three tax services earned close to $13 million and $10 million in two years through the Tourism Ministry.
No one could explain why the Ministry continues to use taxis even though vehicles are provided at the ministry.
R &T Taxi Service owned close to $7 million while Green Ice Taxi Service earned $2 million and Indian Chief earned $144000.
It would be interesting to measure how this expenditure translate to the promotion of Tourism.

Breaking news - INTEGRITY COMMISSION SNOOZING !!!
Government Minister Manniram Prashad and all time Private Sector buzz has acquired Palm Court on Main Street.
Word out is that after the popular nite spot was closed last year Prashad and his son Ravi along with Gizmos and Gadgets Co Owner Ravi Mangar were pooling resources to bring the place back to life!
Our sources said that millions of dollars are involved and the place is expected to take on a new look with live cameras and large wide screen televisions.
The place is expected to also give competition to Salim Azeez place, the Edge Lounge at Tower Hotel.
What is striking about the reopening of Palm Court by Minister Prashad is that it was ran into the debt when police were made to stop the music and parties at the request of President Bharrat Jagdeo last year.
The Dear Champion was on his way home when his gas guzzler and patrol couldn’t make it pass the party crowd.
Sources said that someone said that ANTI word and pissed the Dear Champion off.
Police Commissioner Henry Hulk, Home Affairs Minister Clement Goat and Empower my Pocket Odinga were warned about drinking there and the shut down began.
Now it will be swinging again thanks to the Prashads !

Who will prevail - Guyana's PPP Presi-race
The battle continues for the Presidency candidate for the ruling party.
Some are secretly endorsing others while some are declaring ‘goat aint bite me’
But who will prevail?
We have already analyzed and opined the possibility of constitutional changes that can see the young dictator continuing his rule. For instance, the pursuit of overseas voting by filing a constitutional motion can see GECOM postponing the holding of any elections to have those in the Diaspora registered.
This postponement of the elections could see the government holding office for the next two years (and dictator holding unto presidency)
Then there is another theory being touted:
The Dictator steps out the race, returns to "help" as Prime Minister and then sworn in as President.
Guyana's Constitution says that the any president is barred from running for a third term for that Office. But the current dictator will not run for the Presidency or better yet be elected as President. He could be the Prime Minister or serve as another Minister in the government and be sworn in as President if the President at that time is unable to perform the duties of President.
With that aside, from the looks of things the Opposition Parties may not have a chance at even grasping at the seats of government.
The PNC is virtually dead, probably presently on saline solution but is dying a slow death. The only other real party at this time is the Alliance for Change, but what chances they really have in picking up the needed votes for change? They are gonna pick up a few votes from the young and professional, but there is no real indication that Guyanese are really ready to vote on issues and not race.
So who will actually be around in 2011?
Well, the race is apparently still on between Donald Ramotar, Ralph Ramkarran, Clement Rohee and possibly Moses Nagamottoo for Presidential candidate.
These could be all a puppet show.
Word out is that a few have been booted and a few promised promotions. For instance:
--> Carolyn Rodrigues is tipped to be Prime Minister while
--> Sam is said to be rehired as a consultant.
-->Robeson Benn who was once tipped to be Prime Minister but who has ‘hammered’ too many wrong nails is tipped to be Minister of Mining. (a post set up to ensure that mining is minimized to capitalized on the LCDS finds)
--> Donald Ramoutar will be Minister of Works
--> A Ministry of Communications is to be shared by someone close to the President and yet to be named.
--> There is word that Odinga Lumumba will be made a Junior Minister (possibly the Sports Ministry)
--> Irfaan Ali is expected to be the Culture. Youth and Sports Minister
--> The current Culture Minister will probably be a serving doctor at the Georgetown Public Hospital or head a foreign funded health programme.
--> Pauline Sukhai will remain Amerindian Affairs Minister.
--> Kellawan Lall is said to have already gotten the boot.
--> Manniram Prashad will not return (he is making no money holding the post of Tourism Minister)
--> Priya Manickchand will remain and her sisiter Jaya Manickchand is tipped for a Junior ministerial role.
--> So is Attorney General in waiting Anil Nandalall (and no, he will not be AG) Charles Ramson will remain there until someone else gets Senior Counsel Status and accepts the job.
--> Region 6 Chairman Zulfikar Mustapha is tipped for a ministerial post.
--> Robert Persaud will retain his post.
But there are a few who MAY retain their post for the fear of interdiction by the United States. Leslie Ramsammy is one of those.
These are The Happy Faces of the PPP government to come in 2011 !
