LAAD AH MERCY!!! LOOK AT DAT CROWD!! DAT GUN MEK THE GOVT RETHINK.

The PPP thief the money already.

The pickets and protests are tempests in little tea pots.

The Guyanese people are exercising their democratic right to protest for a better standard of living. I don't see a problem with that? The GPF and GDF never has to picket for a pay raise, they get it in a silver platter for sitting on their fat asses and let criminals take control of the country. 

There is no problems with peaceful demonstrations. The realities of revenues and ability pay wages are matters that need carefully consider.

Were the opposition to be the Government, would they have made the same cuts to the budget and become the recipients protests?

Indeed they are. The idea of taking 25 million of producing assets ( sale of ATN shares) and sink it as a supposed catalyst for ghost investors in a Marriott is one the "needs "to consider.

Mr. Danyael, the issue relates to the effects of cuts in the budget by the opposition parties.

The civil servants should not get 5% raise across the board, it should be based on performance. A pretty awful system of compensation exist in Guyana. The majority(99.9%) PNC supporters who occupy these govt jobs are being done a disservice with these cushy jobs. They need to forced out to explore their true potential in the private sector. Govt job is a crutch and keeps Blacks back in developing their full potential. 

What's so cushy about a civil service job? The average govt. worker is paid 40,000 to 65,000 a month. How are they supposed to survive when rent for a rinky dinky apartment in Georgetown is 50,000 a month? That's why these people are forced to take bribes. It's either that or starve if they don't have a remittance coming in from abroad.

What a "massive" protest. More Yellow journalism from the AFC/PNC.

Workers continue to reject 5% salary

increase

The scene outside Office of the President yesterday as workers demanded that Govt. pays what was voted for in Parliament for salary increases

… Protest action moves to Office of the President

Disgruntled public service employees have vowed that they will not allow Government to turn a bread and butter issue into a political one.
This is the view held by Jermaine Hermonstine, Industrial Relations Officer of the Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU), who yesterday led a picketing exercise outside of Office of the President, calling for the Government to pay what was approved in Parliament, and not the five percent recently announced by Cabinet Secretary, Dr Roger Luncheon.
Yesterday’s demonstrators outside Office of the President included employees from the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, Teaching Service Commission, Geology and Mines Commission, and the Ministries of Health, Education and Agriculture.
The protest action followed a similar exercise the previous day at the West Demerara Regional Hospital.
According to the GPSU official, this is but the beginning of the protest action, and the union intends to intensify its efforts.
Hermonstine said that GPSU is demanding that the Government pay the 15 per cent increase that was voted for in Parliament earlier this year.
“Five per cent is a fraction of what was passed at Parliament and it is a right that we deserve,” Hermonstine said.
He also related to this publication that persons from across the 10 administrative regions have been calling the union to find out how they can be a part of the protest action.
“Workers across the country are disgruntled,” said Hermonstine.
He added that the workers would be using their lunch hour each day to exercise their legitimate right to protest, “because of what it is they should be getting.”
“The protest action will continue and intensify if it is that government wants to play games.”
He drew reference to a recent statement by Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, who in defending the proposed five per cent pay increase, drew reference to the budget cuts by Parliament.
Hermonstine emphasised that the money that the opposition slashed from the budget was not for wages and salaries
“We all know that money was not cut; the money we are asking for was not cut and we are not going to allow Government to turn a bread and butter issue into a political issue.”
Yesterday’s placard-bearing protestors stood outside of the Vlissengen Street entrance of Office of the President for the greater part of the lunch hour chanting, “five per cent can’t right” among other slogans in an attempt to bring their plight to the attention of the Executive.

Come on now ASJ, this is the best that you afc/pnc supporters can do? You need to bring back Hoyte in his glory days of mo fiah slow fiah with massive street protests and burning and killing of Indos. Maybe you can bring down some of those Linden/Agricola trouble makers to kick up a rukus and force the govt's  hands as the PPP has had a history of caving in when street riots and killings occur.

Bai, if you were reading and understand, then you would not have expected to have a larger crowd just for West Dem Hospital

The faster you understand that people cannot survive from the meagre pay that the Corrupt PPP/C has been dishing out, then you would not have  responded with garbage.

What is the comprehensive pay they receive?  However, the opulence of the PPP insiders does leave a bad taste.  These guys (PPP) and overly arrogant and power drunk and they need a MAJOR attitude change.

WHAT A PATHETIC ASS!!!!!!!!

sTUDENTS WANT FOOD PROVIDED TO THEM??? What the heel is that.. They don't know about part-time WUK???

what is it about "resident" that is so difficult for you (yes . . . even u) to understand?

That is a sensible point. You do put out a few of these from time to time. Yet to see Mr Nehru say something sensible. 

I have to agree, Nehru, the Govt cannot provide residency and then don't feed the students.  The GoG is obligated to provide adequate and balanced meals for the resident student.  It is not like they complaining about not getting ice-cream.

I always put out sensible postings, just you don't always like my point of view.  You see, baseman speaks the truth, some you like, some you don't but I'm forever baseman, the truth.

They should teach them to have Kitchen Garden and a Fish Farm, Pig Farm and Goat Farm to make them self sufficient. Govt CANNOT provide for everyone unless you are a COMMUNIST like TK/REDUX.

So then, the PNC under Burnham had the right idea!

The PNC had many ideas, unfortunately there were all on Paper and the paper got soaked.

Nah, there were lot of farms around, the GDF, the GPF, schools, uni, GSA, other institutions, many were asked to actively participate in the FCH program.

In any case, back to the core issue, the people attending CPCE are there for a specific purpose and need to focus their energy on that  They should not worry about scrunging for food in a kitchen garden in the backyard of their living quarters.
