The Real Champion of the Earth: a True Story

Jagdeo steals Jagan’s Thunder 

Speeches dating back to 1992 right through to 1997 of the later President and Founding Father of the Nation, Dr. Cheddi Jagan can be found in a booklet put together by the PPP union GAWU.  

The Book which was launched earlier this month documents the late leader’s wealth of knowledge on the environment with projections on sustainable development.

It was noted by those who attended the formal launching of the book that it was under Dr. Jagan’s guidance that The Environmental Protection Agency was launched and the Environmental Protection Act was birthed.

According to a press report- ‘Opposer’ to Jagdeo, Jaganite Navin Chandarpal who edited the collection said that Jagan said things that other leaders dare not say! He also recalled that Jagan waged a campaign promoting the economic benefits of sustainable forests and ‘crusading’ for debt write-offs. 

The recent glory given to the self-proclaimed Champ (Chump?) of the Forest is nothing but a farce compared to Jagan who did not seek glory while transforming Guyana. 

Posters, massive welcome home ceremonies, messages across the media and the millions of dollars spent on campaigns to promote Kim Jagdeo Sung 1 promotes nothing but a man seeking fame and glory, almost Burnham like. 

And, almost like a mockery of the Founding Father of the Nation’s contribution, the Great Jagdeo refused to attention this special ceremony to promote Jagan’s speeches on the environment. 

Who is the real Champion? Jagdeo? You judge.

Another Bloger Exposed!!!

Did Priya Manickchand break lawyer/Client privilege when she leaked confidential divorce documents to the Robeson Benn/Kwame McKoy Blog? 
We think so and we wonder if the Guyana Bar Association is paying attention. 
How the Minister's client's documents' when she was a lawyer clearly draws a link between the government and this blog, and why should it go unchallenged???

NCN profitable or not?

NCN profitable or not? Where is the Auditor General?  

Charging just about 100% more than other TV Stations are charging for ADS maybe just a small drop of cash into the well of money for the State- Owned National Communications Network. with 'viewership' in almost every county in this Country, the only Radio station and sole broadcast rights to certain programming must be sending NCN's profits into tsunami for that Company. 

But little is being said about the NCN's earnings, it expenses, staff-turn over and wage bill.  

In fact, the government for the last 5 years has budgeted between $80 million and $60 Million for the state owned NCN to invest in new equipment and to address several shortages in the Company. 

No money was budgeted for any expansion or any kind.  

We are left to wonder if NCN cannot but its own equipment with its 'profits' and the government put the money to better use, like say breaking the radio monopoly.  

Or is money being channeled through NCN to help their friend secure his transmission in Berbice's biggest coming attraction?

GUNS FOR HIRE SLOGAN HAS RETURNED ON THE STREETS

GUNS FOR HIRE SLOGAN HAS RETURNED ON THE STREETS

Young black men would be once again employ to do the deeds of the Colonial masters. 
Word out is that a selected few must be threatened ( hence the shit throwing) 
There maybe no elections and a Referendum could be in the making so some disgruntled voices must be silenced.
The raids in selected sections of the city are not police work, recruitment of guns for hire are ongoing. 
Calling out the Shawn Hinds's, the Imran Khans and more.
.....
Guns for Hire.

Riddle of the Week

How is it the alleged accomplice in a GRA fraud and a friend of the Minister Priya Manickchand gets hired as the Director of Social Services at the Human Services Ministry?
 
Wentworth Tanner who once worked as an Asst. Director at GRA and resigned after he was fingered in a fraud is now employed by his Queens College classmate Priya Manickchand, how is this possible?



You tell us please.

New Police Commissioner....

Fact or Fiction ? 

Tonite CH 9 Newscast reported that the new POLICE COMMISSIONER is tipped to be a Lieutenant Colonel ??! Did we hear right?!   

How did the Commander in Chief come by this one and how is this constitutionally possible?  

Who is this person and what does the appointment of a Soldier say for the image of the Guyana Police Force which is already buried in torture and corruption? 

So does this mean that Commodore Gary Best's tenure will also be extended?  

Paul Slowe gone to soon or a calculated move by the government.

Consumers' corner - Guyana's supermarkets

This week we stop by some of the supermarkets of Georgetown. As soon as we could get some funding from the IDB, (please pay attention Marco), we will visit the Supermarkets across Guyana.  

1) Temperature: how many  persons read the labels on foodstuff? Well, most labels read "store in a cool dry  place". Care to guess the temperature in most supermarkets? Above 35degree C! That is criminal. 

Can anyone guess the amount of mould that grows on the noodles (we think it is noodle+), the fungus that grows on the inside of the breaks and slice cakes? 

What about the children's snacks? Where is the Consumers' body?

There are only 4 or 5 supermarkets in the city that are air-conditioned - Nigel's, Fogarty's, Bonny' to name a few. The rest should be closed down by the authorities - these include Mattai, Nirva, Survival, etc. 

2) Parking: Excepting for Nigel's and Mattai's, the rest have not catered properly for their customers. The flowing non-consumer traffic have to pay a penalty for this! 

3) Poor customer service: Nigel's is the only store that shines in this regard. Matti is too congested, the rest are just hanging in. 

4) Temperature - did we tell you that the temperature in most of them is same as an oven? 

Beware Shoppers. You pay for the mould, lice, weevils, insect eggs, larvae (worm), fungus and other things in your purchase at the supermarkets in Georgetown.
