Months ago Guyana signed an MOU with Kuwait to give Kuwaiti Nationals duty free and other concessions for relocating here while Kuwati supplied Guyanese with the same measure.
One must wonder why the Guyana government and leader were so eager to have this MOU in place? Would Foreign Service tell us how many Guyanese have taken up this offer and migrated to Kuwait and what about those Kuwait nationals coming to set up business in Guyana.
Like is order of the day the PPP would have made a song and dance about any Kuwaiti National who comes here to explore business opportunities but to date zilch.
Out of all the countries that do business with Guyana, we hope sometime the PPP can explain this special agreement with Kuwait.
Why not Brazil, Suriname, Botswana or China ?
It is now a patters with Jagdeo that he throws smoke in the air - this deal and that deal, this MOU and that MOU - all amounting to NOTHING - except that in cases where the trinidadians can buy his house, or that deals can be brokered for Brassington or Ramroop.

What does it all mean for Guyana?
This week speaks volumes of a turning point in the History of the Caribbean as several noted and questionable acts have occurred and as people prepare to take to polling stations to stay or remove governments.
In JAMAICA:
A state of emergency was issued for a month by the Bruce Golding administration. This action followed a 2 PM Cabinet meeting.
The genesis is the US request to extradite Christopher Dudus Coke.
In recent weeks, we saw PM Golding being forced to review his moves and even think about the leadership of his country when news broke that he sought legal help to address the extradition.
After he signed the extradition order-Tivoli Gardens and Denham City were on a shut down by criminal gangs opposing the extradition of Dudus.
What followed is unprecedented violence in Jamaica as gangs sought to protect Dudus.
Police stations burns, police cars hijacked, Kingston Airport shut down, Hospitals come under gun fire, citizens had to be evacuated and gun violence in Kingston and other parts of Jamaica.
A State of Emergency was issued at a time the United States Embassy Officials in Jamaica and Dudus lawyers are trying to get him out of the country. Dudus have reportedly waived his right to stand trial in Jamaica and wishes to be flown directly to the US.
This is one telling tale.
In Trinidad
Tomorrow, Monday, Trinidadians will turn out in their thousands to polling stations in Trinidad and Tobago to vote.
The UNM-COP grouping seems a likely winner- as Trinidadians seek a change from the Patrick Manning led PNM.
In recent years corruption had plagued the Manning government as Trinidad, the richest Caribbean Country battled a plunging economy. The UNM also a tarnished record on that topic as well but with the emergence of a promising candidate Kamla Persad-Bissessar the elections is one to keep a close eye on.
Suriname
And on Tuesday, Surinamese would take a trip to the poll.
The calls are in for the infamous Desi Bouterse of the National Democratic Party as some are suggested that the incumbent Ronald Venetiaan of the National Party of Suriname is out.
All of these events could see a change in the landscape of politics in this Region, so keep an eye on them.

Trips and Deals
Numerous letters have been written to the press on Jagdeo trippps. Not many writers are aware of the people that have accompanied Jadgeo on his trippps especially the more recent ones.
1) The trippp to Iran was with the Blackout Brassman, whose brother will work with the GoG to set up the e-governance system in Guyana.
2) The trippp to Surinam: the secret meetings to map out communications strategies that would link venezuela's Chavez with Bouterse in Surinam with the Russians.
3) Finally the trippp to Russia to iron out the financing of the commmunicaiton deal with Bourterse, Chavez and the Russians.
4) This trippp to Russia - who accompanied the president? None other than the owner of the Queens Atlantic. This is the guy on whose behalf the Government changed Guyana's laws to facilitate his business. Guess what other businessman went to Russia with them?
Is there more to these Iran, Surinam, Russia trips? Are we all missing something here?
