With Gas prices lowered to more than 50%, it stands to reason that Guyanese Comsumers should be benefitting from this drop in price, but Donald Duck and his dictatorial regime wants to hold on to reducing the price for as long as possible. Just like the Electons, Donald Duck has now become a compulsive lier.

Why is gas price so high in Guyana?

By Ralph Seeram After finishing this article I am going to fill up my SUV. I am so happy buying gas these days. Before, I paid reluctantly, muttering some choice cuss words towards the big oil companies for ripping me off. These days I leave the gas pumps with a smile; I am going to pay US$1.99 per gallon for gasoline. Why am I so happy?  Up to about three months ago I was paying an average of US$3.50 per gallon. Considering that I fill up about five times a month using about 70gls a month, it means I am saving approximately a little over US$100.00 per month. That’s, a good chunk of money. I mentioned SAVING a hundred bucks, but am I literally saving that money? Am I taking it and put it aside and stashing it as saving? Of course not; all it did was to give me more spending money, which goes back in the economy. Multiply by several million motorists in the US, and you get the idea why the US economy is on the rise. Consumers are spending more, which in turn spreads the wealth a little. This is especially true for those at the low end of the economic scale, who need the disposable income more than anyone else. The gas situation in Guyana caught my attention; the prices did not go down proportionally as they should. As the gas went down the excise tax went up. Whatever savings that should be passed on the buses and taxi were taken away by the government. If the approximately 40 per cent reduction in gas was passed on, passengers would see a reduction in bus and taxi fares, manufactures would see reduced transportation costs and if the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) passed on the big saving to its customers manufacturers would be able to pass on the saving to consumers. This means that the local man or woman in the street will do as I did; they will not literally put aside that saving, but spend it back on other items, pumping more cash into the economy, more VAT (taxes) for the government. But no, the government got greedy. It wants the saving for itself. Its appetite for spending taxpayers’ dollars, wasting  taxpayers’ dollars, especially on projects that should be the domain of private enterprise like the Marriott Hotel  knows no bounds. It bothers me. GPL is saving big time on fuel costs, its excuse for the high electricity cost, but is it passing this big saving to its consumers? No it also got a greedy appetite. It bothers me. Since I mention the new Marriott, what’s up with the design? I saw a recent picture of it and if I did not read the caption, I would have thought it was either a hospital or a prison, not a hotel. So much for aesthetics. Still on the subject, the owner of the Pegasus Hotel, Robert Badal, called the PPP government’s bluff and made a bid for an equity partner for the Marriott Hotel. Who wouldn’t jump at the opportunity to invest roughly 18 per cent or US$8M and get two- thirds share in a US$57M hotel, plus all the tax incentives. You don’t see much of this type of opportunity in the investment world. The weird thing is that the GOVERNMENT for all the lies, could not find takers for this great investment, or so it appears. Then up comes Badal (who I am sure knew they would refuse him) to grab at the deal only to be rebuffed with the poor excuse that the man is not serious. One gets the impression that the government is waiting for a “straw person. No one knows officially where the money came from to build the hotel but no doubt taxpayers’ money is sitting on that building. It bothers me. The Guyanese public has been told so often that the Government has turned into a dictatorship, spending money illegally and so forth because President Donald Ramotar using his constitutional power to suspend Parliament. Not to mention that the opposition also wanted to shut down Parliament at least for three months using their constitutional right to pass a vote of no confidence against the government. What caught my attention is all the Members of Parliament were still drawing their salaries; yes both Government and Opposition Parliamentarians were getting paid handsomely to do nothing. I never knew the “Pimp” was making so much money to arrange sex romps. Since according to the opposition the suspension was so undemocratic, I would think they would have refused to take that generous pay they get monthly as a protest to the government. I think that was the right thing to do if they felt the actions of the President was so undemocratic. Why take the Guyanese tax payers money if you are not working for it. That bothers me. This week we had Mr. Feral Blast delivering his own “feral blast’ to another departing Diplomat. I have always maintained that the PPP has a Public Relations problem, and has the worst spokespersons in Dr. Roger Luncheon and Clement Rohee. These two have no idea of diplomacy or etiquette. So Luncheon called departing British High Commissioner Andrew Ayre a “pariah” and described him as dishonorable. It seems that’s the norm for the PPP. Thye party is thin-skinned. Arrogance has reached such heights that the party feels it is beyond criticism. That really bothers me. And finally as the elections are near and the PPP is in full campaign mode, quite a few of them are having shivers. They know this election coming is not a sure thing, and they can be out of power. Why are they shivering? Because if the PPP loses power some of those rear ends will be put to use, voluntarily or involuntarily, in prison. And that don’t bother me.

These scumbags within the PPP/C has finally decide to reduce Gas Prices by 30 Percent, finally, after a little bit of cussing and insulting, they were forced to comply with reducing prices gas. Gasoline which were selling at 995.00 will be now be selling at 695.00.

More Later: 

The Baccoo predicted that they would bow under pressure after the people realized that they were being ripped off by the PPP tiefmen.

The Baccoo Speaks

The goldfields are not the places they used to be because of technology. And this is the downside, because people who are anxious to get rich would do the unthinkable to grab gold. This is why another miner is going to get killed.
His employer is going to cause other workers to beat him severely.
**
Another shocking revelation is going to set tongues wagging. Someone is going to accuse a politician of demanding money for a favour. Shocked, the person is going to tell others, much to the anger of the politician.
Then this man would be found unconscious at the side of a roadway. Make your conclusion.
**
The government is going to bow to public pressure and pass on the saving from oil purchases to the people. The situation provided a windfall which the government simply pocketed, but people want relief from still high gas prices and electricity bills.
They are going to speak out and the government, as it prepares for elections, will buckle.

I am glad that these scumbags within the PPP/C has have finally decide decided to reduce Gas Prices by 30 Percent. Way to go PPP. More money in the pockets of the people.

Ignorance is your first name. No wonder our President Ramotar shoved his big toe down the crack of your ass. Doe it still hurt?

You behave like a juvenile whose girlfriend just dumped him. If I had a daughter, I would have taken offence. If you were around my wife, she would have preferred filing her nails before paying attention to you. A piece of advice..go back to school. You are never too old to learn.

Why you all attack Skeldon Man like this?

Gov’t announces 30% reduction in gas and diesel prices

January 19, 2015 4:41 pm Category: latest news A+ / A-

 

By Kurt Campbell

Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh

[www.inewsguyana.com] - Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh on Monday, January 19, announced reductions in prices for gasoline, diesel and kerosene at the Guyana Oil Company (Guyoil) Stations.

The reduction is expected to take effect from January 19 at gas stations across the country with prices that are the lowest since early 2009.

Gas price will be reduced from $995per gallon to $695, representing a 30% reduction. Diesel price was also reduced by 30%, from $985 to $694 and Kerosene saw a reduction of 42%, from $850 to $496.

The issue of gas prices has generated considerable public discussion and debate in light of declining fuel prices on the world market, some of which the Finance Minister believes are misinformed.

At a press conference, Dr. Singh explained that “government has had in place for the longest while a well-functioning mechanism for adjusting excise taxes charged on fuel products… the excise taxes rates are adjusted downwards when world market prices are moving upwards and the rates are adjusted upwards when world market prices are moving downwards.”

He reminded that during the period December 2008 and March 2012 the world market price for crude oil increased by 184% but the price for a gallon of gasoline in Guyana only increased by 77%.

“This was achieved by government lowering the tax rate on gasoline over that period.”

He said as prices started to subside on the world market, the tax rate was adjusted upwards.

“This was done automatically and without contention for the past several years.”

The Minister explained that in keeping with the mechanism to adjust taxes on fuel, gasoline will now attract excise taxes at a rate of 50% and diesel at a rate of 42% with effect from January 20.

“These prices will continue to be adjusted upwards and downwards as the world market prices fluctuate” the Finance Minister said.

No excise taxes will be charged on kerosene. The Minister urged other oil companies operating in Guyana to follow suit and reduce prices similarly and urged providers of transportation services to consider passing on these reduction in fuel prices immediately to the consumers and the travelling public.

He is another dick head, I asked him one simple question, and he is yet to answer. Sali Kuta

Answer the question "What happen? did Kwambe bugger you and your wife and daughter, stop getting so bassidy, or should I include your mudda too?

Dem chaps getting real wid poor shelly, he gonna soon have to call kwame and ask fuh reinforcements.

Quote "It only exposes your lack of an undestanding of english grammar."unquote

This skont hole only like to pretend that he went to school, but during his school days he was serenading Kwambe.

Don't have a spell checker to catch a missing letter. Your vulgarity shows your poor education. You can only cut and paste, refer to Kwamee and bugga, members of families and very frequently showing your gross ignorance. You are what Guyanese call "waste man".

Kjb, Missed you. Where did you go?

Why do you need a spell checker to catch a missing letter, is your brains shallow? do you have shit accumulated in there, you are playing important so why you need a spell checker, you really need Kwambe to give you a good buggering.

Ass Whole like you, when you try to correct people, then you should be perfect.......not go begging for a spell checker, you dummy.

Shelly should spend some time giving Gold teeth and the rest of his PPP goons a high school education rather than nit picking bullshit.
