Why are they sending this man anywhere to embarrass his country?  Was he wearing his pastor outfit too???

Funny stuff - pastor outfit.  

Freddie Kissoon complains about the increase in blackouts at UG. 

He should get his boys to cuss down the responsible minister like what he was doing to PPP ministers.  Does he have the balls to do it?

I hope you did not admit to anyone that you were Guyanese.  I would have pretended that I did not even know to speak English so this way no one can even guess

Energy Security

May 9, 2016 By Editor

....Even with current low oil prices, electricity prices in Guyana – as in the rest of the Caribbean – average over US$0.25 per kWh, about three to four times more than what is paid in the US or other developed countries. This high cost of energy for manufacturing and other uses has acted as a fetter on Guyana and the region’s efforts to produce more value-added products competitively.

How many times I have talked about this and Caribj says, no way, the rest of the region have no problems.  The failure of the PNC is/was not bad luck or an accident, rather a lack of vision and understanding how to get things done!!

The PNC will take Guyana no where soon!!

I was at UN with some work colleagues discussing a relocation to Switzerland.  I told them I'm of Asian origin and didn't know the pastor.     Incidentally, I think it's a Nehru Jacket that he's so fond of wearing.  So the guy has a world-class hero.

Haha.  Good on you

Do it.  I have been to Geneva.  It's a fabulous place.  Most people there speak English.  Or at least know enough to get by. But if you know French it's even better.  I speak French so I had no problem.  I was surprised to see how many Indians live there.

Why does Jamaica have a more developed manufacturing sector than does Guyana?  And the DR?

In fact brown bai KKK basemen, I previously stated that other countries have comparable energy costs as does Guyana (only T&T is less), higher labor and other costs, and yet more developed manufacturing sectors.

We have the irony of Guyana importing processed foods from Barbados, when that island produces little of the raw materials. Aside from Limacol, what manufactured products does Guyana export to that island?

The energy bit is an excuse.   23 years. What new industries opened up in that period. What additional processing of our raw materials was performed in that period.

Look at you engaging in your usual "black man cant even run a cake shop" bigotry, when you have FAILED to prove that the PPP had anything going for it, other than the luck of high gold prices and huge levels of remittances which, are on a per capita basis, some of the highest into the Caribbean!

You continue to display the effects of years of pnc brain washing. This is not about being impressed with Maduro, it is about a leader(jackass Granger) acting like a thug, a few days after being elected. He managed to destroy the good relations that the PPP built with Venezuela and cost the rice farmers their livelihood.

Maduro behaved like a thug, threatening Guyana.  He moved his army to the border.  What did you expect Granger to do.  Bend over and let Maduro take over Guyana?

Note that while Maduro was doing this, he was also trying to pick a  fight with Colombia.  When he tried to get Cuba to back him, they told him that his antics are none of their business.

Colombia also put Maduro in his place.

Granger did what he had to do, and now the issue has quieted down quite a bit.  Exxon is still there, and will drill when prices become more sustainable.

Maduro, on the other hand, has lost control over the legislature, and will be dumped in the next presidential elections! 

Note that Maduro attempted to thwart the election by arresting large numbers of opposition leaders. Clearly it backfired.

And what good relations did the PPP have.  When Exxon began to drill, Maduro threatened the PPP regime.  The Minister of FA responded with a strongly worded letter, telling Maduro to "haul his ass".

The bottom line is that Granger cost rice farmers a lucrative Venezuelan market due to his lack of diplomacy.  You try to portray jackass Granger as some sort of hero who prevented an eminent invasion by Venezuela when the fact is that it was Granger who while in opposition was screaming that Venezuela was planning to invade Guyana when it turned out to be  a farce. 

Noteworthy is that once he became president he insulted Maduro, causing the oil for rice deal to collapse. Then Harmon slapped him in the head and told him to retract. Later at the UN he backed down when he claimed that Venezuela army was too big for Guyana to pose a threat to them, 40 times as big. He is a loud mouth who cost the nation. 

Granger in known as an incompetent thief and has no diplomatic presentation on the world stage. He took a picture with Obama in NYC and his head was twist as if he had stiff neck. He dresses like a pastor, and his military medals are like brass coins hanging on cheap cloth. I am not surprise he came back empty handed. He sent his best and brightest to woooooo Canadian investors to Guyana, and they wound up spending more money on dinner, and came back with sour faces. On to now that brilliant idea is still silent. Now they believe that 50th jubilee will attract a ton of fools that they can get their hands on after they become intoxicated to rob them before they exit Guyana. This is Granger kind of investment for Guyana's economy.

Granger returned home empty handed with a long and soured-face.

And not to mention,  one foot in the grave.

The PPP used the SAME language against Maduro when he began to threaten Guyana, when Exxon arrived. In fact the US gov't even became involved to protect the interests of a US corporation.

Interesting that the PPP is so hateful of Guyana, that they wished to turn it over to Venezuela, in the hope that Maduro would then get rid of the LAWFULLY elected gov't, in install the PPP in a coup.  This because the masses of the population rejected them for the SECOND time!

Venezuela is BROKE.  They cannot afford to pay more for rice than the world market. 

No wonder so many non Indians suspect that large numbers of Indo Guyanese do not have the slightest bit of patriotism for Guyana, and would sell out to Venezuela.

Are you a Guyanese, or an Indian living in Guyana?  People really want to know this.

Did I claim that remittances has declined? 

FACT.  You cannot point out any initiative of the PPP which transformed Guyana's economy.  Their failure to do so has rendered Guyana to be uncompetitive, and over reliant on preferential prices, which come at a cost.  That being mortgaging Guyana to a nation which wants to DESTROY it!

Looks like you shipment of drugs came in today and you took a sample as you are hallucinating about PPP turning over Guyana to Venezuela.  When did this happen, it must have been in one of your visits to an alternate universe.

Remember rice for oil deal? Are you daft man, put on your thinking caps. In any barter structure there are benefits that are derived that are profitable even at higher perceived prices.

. about PPP turning over Guyana to Venezuela.  .W

When Maduro and Jagdeo were screaming the same conspiracy theory about the PPP defeat it isn't a coincidence. 

Clearly Jagdeo called up Maduro, wept and wailed in his arms, and begged him to invade Guyana, and reinstall him as the Governor of the Essequibo State.  He probably told Madman that maybe he can even take the 1/3 that he doesn't claim.

In most countries when a foreign nation threatens, EVERY ONE jumps together to form a solid front to confront this enemy. NOT the PPP.  They jumped unto Maduro's side, wailing that Granger is treating him badly.

You will note that Maduro made threats to Guyana, and Granger reacted to those threats.

And tell me, how excellent were the PPP ties when on several occasions Venezuelan soldiers entered Guyana soil, attacking people, and destroying property?

Venezuela has to grab as much money for its oil, as it is broke.

The fact that there are food shortages in that country means that the farming sector has collapsed, and that foreign suppliers refuse to sell to them.  Why?  Because they know that Venezuela cannot pay them.

There is no "lucrative rice/oil" deal to get.  Tell Jagdeo to grow a brain!

You must not have read the recent articles about pnc now pursuing Venezuela rice deal once again.

The PNC told its Ambassador to ask Venezuela to resume, and added that it was up to Venezuela to agree. 

They further added that they aren't begging Venezuela, but was focusing on assisting the farmers to reduce their costs, improve their access to financing, and locate new markets.

The PPP preferred to mortgage the rice industry to an enemy, with no plan B in place.

The fact that the coalition gov't is putting a number of incentives in place, meant that the PPP didn't offer this.

There is a moral lesson in this thread. And that is that the begging bowl that Jagdeo carted about is no longer a badge of honour to our economy. It's good to see Granger only holding out his hands in friendship, and not looking for free hand outs.

The IMF said that under the coalition gov't public sector deficits have been reduced, and the overall fiscal condition is better.

The IMF obviously thinks that this gov't is less wasteful than the PPP was.

Continue with your brown bai screams. The whites, who you worship, think differently.

The point is that, even if the coalition gov't is too dumb to move Guyana from its 1932 economy, at least the same to be managing what little they have better.
