Last Updated on Tuesday, 27 May 2025, 15:28 by by GHK LallOn lazy days, self-declared holidays, when there’s the luxury of deeper-than-normal reflection, I find myself thinking that Guyana is a funny country. Usually, that touches some nerve, and reality returns. A funny country, or a dirty one, that’s the question before Guyanese who watch in dismay how their motherland goes from hallucinations to delusions.

Last Updated on Monday, 26 May 2025, 14:50 by By GHK LallI agree with Vice President Jagdeo that a depletion policy should be based on day-to-day price movements. To wit, “Should we have a depletion policy now…you don’t determine policies of a long-term nature on the basis of daily occurrences in the oil and gas market which is known for its volatility…” No question here that the vice president spoke well.

Last Updated on Monday, 26 May 2025, 14:55 by by GHK LallI think that the PPP brain trust consulted with Nostradamus on that September 1st date, as the day of competition for a winner to take the reins of national power. In terms of a strategic move, there is something that could be said for it. But I believe that regardless of whether the date was December 31st (this year) or later, the PNC and AFC would be in the exact same place. Like England’s King Ethelred the Unready.

Last Updated on Friday, 25 April 2025, 7:46 by By GHK LallWhen the pressures build, when anger flares, when the lid blows off, when the steam billows…. In increasing numbers, and across many distant parts of this cratered land, there is one constant. Guyanese are angry. Driven to madness by anger. Overcome by anger. The injustices that the poor are forced to live with as close companions. The wrongs that are never righted. Linden and now Tuschen.

Last Updated on Tuesday, 22 April 2025, 19:26 by By GHK LallIt could be said that with accuracy that the cat is now out of the bag. But, when what now sees some light was a running public secret, then both the cat and the bag do not matter so much. Kind of moot, I would say. On the other hand, if it was said that the US ‘buss’ Guyana bag, then more Guyanese could nod in agreement for that is so much closer to local reality.

Last Updated on Monday, 21 April 2025, 9:09 by By GHK LallPope Francis was that rarest of men who walked this earthly vale. A man of extraordinary grace, one who brought grace to his time, tried for a different Church, a different world. A leader of humility: no palace, no pageantry for me. What with all this heraldry? Why, when the Good Shepherd walked with the lame and blind, the despised and the forgotten. Few are the ones who walk in such a state of grace.

Last Updated on Saturday, 19 April 2025, 11:35 by By GHK LallThe latest is that the AFC is ready to go it alone. Suicide mission number one. The more muscular PNC say that it, too, will take the long and lonely road to Elections 2025. Lonely are the brave, indeed. Suicide mission number two. The polls of both parties, of which the PPP knows, tell them the same: each by itself is a doggone loser. Together, they may (may) scrape through with what looks like electoral triumph.

Last Updated on Saturday, 12 April 2025, 16:41 by By GHK Lall Police violence is always hard to accept.  Excessive police violence is a huge problem anywhere, one that shows its deformed face too often in Guyana.  Lethal encounters with agents of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) in murky circumstances have cast a pall of distrust, leaves much dishonor on members of the GPF.  Including the professional and disciplined ones.  One lethal development in Linden involving a man allegedly unarmed...

Last Updated on Saturday, 12 April 2025, 16:45 by by GHK LallPresident Ali was quick with soothing words, helpful ones for the occasion. A grim one it is in Linden, two really. Two are dead from police bullets. Whatever the words of comfort offered, the reassurances given by whomever, nothing can bring back the dead of Linden. To the families mourning their pain, a little whisper of condolence: there is something called justice. No matter how much it is denied, it always rises to conquer.

Last Updated on Sunday, 6 April 2025, 21:47 by By GHK LallTariffs.  Trump tariffs, to be precise.  The Irfaan Ali government says it is engaging.  The opposition AFC is saying that a national response is vital.  I am saying that this development involving tariffs is frightening.
