Chinaware takes over the CUP

Hey ! Whatever happened to the Enamel cup ?!



That China ware is too small for PPP corruption, Donald.

Clico assets support one laptop per family

Its no wonder they CANT independently investigate CLICO and its collapse, the CLICO Camp Street Office is now the office of the infamous ONE LAP TOP PER FAMILY Project !

Stunning ? 
 
Not really in this PPP administration none of this surprises us. 

Maybe its time for Clico Policy Holders to question the disposable of these assets without any public auction, but then again 
they wouldnt they were bought for a penny and a dime at the National Cultural Centre. 

Progress Continues !

Practise what you preach!

It is really a pity when political and social figures in society set a dangerous trend. One such trend is preaching certain ideals on one hand and using the other to practice something different.

It isn't our fault when we find ourselves on the end of receiving abuse, its not even our fault when we administer such abuse. 
 
BUT it our fault when we don't up to what we believe in or what we preach.
This brings us to our latest post. 

How is it that a senior, accomplished women in a government seat can be heading a voice strong team team against abuse and be a victim herself ?

Our recent information suggest that this woman has been a recent victim of abuse at the hands of her husband who is the father of her child. 

The incident which could be the first at his hands, saw her relatives and close family in a frenzy after the woman didnt want to involve the police. 

Her silence reminds us the silent many senior women in society took when Varshanie Singh accused Bharrat Jagdeo of abuse two years ago. 

It is our hope that she practices what she preaches and be the advocate she proclaims to be and stand up.

Clico - dead and buried

Years after Trinidad and Tobago called an inquiry into the collapse of CLICO, the Jagdeo led PPP administration is yet to follow suit. Frankly, we never expect an investigation into the collapse of CLICO Guyana and possible insider trading that led to its sudden demise.
We have went at great lengths explaining in previous posts why we feel there needed to investigate Geeta-Singh Knights and the possible corrupt trading that went on with Clico Guyana, how else can you expect large sums of cash being invested in CLICO Bahamas and disappearing after being deposited in a Miami Bank account.

But the reasons the PPP wouldnt investigate CLICO Guyana are many, too many to mention, some of which we discussed on this forum before. Since we know bringing them up is like 'throwing water on duck's back' we wouldnt bother to waste any more water.

But its almost like pieces of a puzzle is fighting together now that we heard that the government gained $600 million for forest concessions once owned by Caribbean Resources Limited. Like a missing piece we now understand why Jagdeo was so willing to pay Clico policy holders off without casting blames. A man who usually jumps to blame everyone but himself didnt even bother to cast a stone when he knew a down right under hand deal would have taken care of the expenditure, the more than $3 billion owed to Clico Policy holders.
no one even sniffed out that this is what was going on behind closed doors, we wonder whatever happened to those billions the Ministry of Finance and Bank of Guyana were suppose to kick in to help the policy holders.

Pledge allgiance or else

The PPP is not willing to head into elections unless it is assured of commitment from several persons and bodies and unless it is sure that it wins a majority by anyways possible.

The Party all of a sudden is convinced that it will not win if young people are the majority of voters. We are not sure what will happen here, in the 2006 elections, there were more than 600000 eligible voters, less than half of that amount voted. More than that amount reside out of this country.

Will Guyanese vote on issues rather than race is another scary thought for the PPP. Admittingly the PPP has a better but still flawed report card than the previous government.
But this doesnt help this party pass the test. The party's ideals and principles got stolen somewhere along the way, the ended up being as some one said the "new and improved PNC"

So they are scared that they will lose. When we say lose we mean lose the majority of votes.

But they have struck a deal, the deal will include ensuring that several figures, several bodies, several governments, help the PPP remain in government. This is where jagdeo will ensure that Ralph Gonslaves and Desi Bouterse re pay him for those 'little favours'

And the rest? Well the rest of those who have had promotions, favours, money, houses, lands and all will have their job cut out. Some of them will be on the Campaign trail some will have to use their influence to win some strong holds of other parties over and some will have to place their names on the Party's List of candidates.
We might even see some of those being named ministers.

Our Sources have suggested some names but we will wait on the appropriate time to name those.

Dont let the other political parties be fooled, as much as we are watching that CUP we are watching you too.

Farewell Peck!

This is the reaction to a news that Kellawan Lall will take up am Ambassadorial Post in Brazil. The pain and agony is too much for us to write about, but this must be a joke.
 
    The PPP has once again appointed or  promoted a Party Card member to represent this country overseas.
 
      We had written before that there seems to be a shortage of career diplomats, if there isnt a shortage they are not the ones being appointed instead you have to be a PPP member to hold such an appointment.
Lall will be representing Guyana in one of the largest countries in the world and In South America and no doubt one of the most influential countries in this part of the world.
His back ground ? Your guess is good as ours. 

We know him as an Adviser to the government, past and present Presidents and now a Minister. 

We are not doubting his abilities but come on an Ambassadorial post ?!! 

We wouldnt even bother to bring up his hit and run, infamous shooting and domestic spat.

Farewell Peck.
