Outrage grows over salary increase

QUOTE"He was referring to a statement by Minister of Governance Raphael Trotman who signalled strongly that the projected salary increase would be rescinded. The TIGI President noted that while in opposition, both the APNU and AFC were quick to point out that the salaries of the former People’s Progressive Party/Civic Administration was too high. “

 On the other hand, political commentator Ramon Gaskin is also of the view that the salary increase Government has given themselves is way too excessive when compared with the meagre five per cent hike given to Public Servants.
Gaskin pointed out that in addition to a salary, Ministers also get a host of other benefits that would rack up to over a million dollars per month each. He mentioned duty free on vehicles, electricity subventions, insurance, free travel allowance, among others.
“When you add all of these benefits up, the cost for them is way too much along with their salaries,” he stated. Furthermore he stated, there are too many Ministers in this Government – 27 of them: “It is a lot of money and the country cannot afford to pay such a huge increase to so many Ministers.”

I went to the Business meeting in Toronto yesterday. The Ministers and GOINVEST Officers-so much negativity from those people. I wonder why they bother to come and present the possibilities of doing business in Guyana. Judging from those misfits, THE COUNTRY IS F<U>C>K>E>D. Yes, I know it is Sunday morning, but no other word can best describe the government's performance.

What a sick affair. Ten minutes to explain Business Proposal with an azzhole sitting beside the presented interjecting on whether the proposal was worthy enough and gauging the minutes that went by. Many of those minute went by just telling the azzhole not to interrupt.

Imagine 10 hours of 10 minutes meetings. Those government people eventually became zombies. If u were a black presenter, time constraints was not a factor. Obviously, a glaring prejudice.

Not a racist comment. There were four Blacks, one Mixed and a Beautiful young woman(couldn't tell what she was). NOT ONE FREAKING COOOLIE PERSON. Out of the whole group, only the Beautiful young woman grasped my presentation. The rest of the gang were pure skonts. Which proves the Colonial thinking that Fair Skin people are brilliant.

Ramjattan truly hates Corentyne people. His remarks were demeaning to Indian-like dey backward.

Nagamoottoo, well, he is finally is rewarded. He gat the job. And that is it.

It was sad day. Guyana is truly a fooked up place. The people of Guyana have no representation.

The world will be a better place when you racist old fools die out.

Hmmmmm!  Thanks for sharing.  And glad you went.

And white people will enslave u azz for just being backward.

Why would the white man want to enslave me? A bloody moron like you talking about being backward. You would be shitting on the streets today if the white man didn't bring your ancestors to BG. You should be in Church today asking for forgiveness for your wickedness before you kick the bucket. Somehow I think you'll go to your grave as a racist bastard. People like you cannot change your evil ways no matter how much you become a turncoat and tek up de white man religion.

Seigy, I hope more people come out tonight at the dinner and air their view. I am against this increase and I did let them know. I find their explanation absurd. For me 2 years is reasonable time to assess their performance.

Good fuh you. How many handles u have. U sound familiar.

It is a clan. If a person is not a clan member, they are not bothered with.

I hope the Trade unions down tools and force them out of government. And create a Peoples Government. These remnants of PPP and PNC are bad for the country.

Just re-read ur post. And I suppose you will not die. Perhaps u will before me. I am old and living. Are u sure u will make it to my age.

For my Indo brethens who made to the Whiteman's colonies eat ur heart out about our progress. We do better than running snackettes. WINHD shows our progress.  

Listen you old jackass. All this talk about the white man making me a slave and running snackettes only goes to show how much of a moron you are. You racist fools believe that if someone does not swallow the PPP swill then they must be black or belong to the PNC. Even if I were black, I would not be insulted by someone suggesting that I should be enslaved because I'm fully aware that it's not possible.

I will die eventually and it may be tomorrow or later but I'll die knowing that I'm not a racist old coot like you. I'll die a happy man unlike you running to the church every Sunday to beg for forgiveness for your wicked ways. Well dropping your religion and picking up the white man's does not make you a better person. It takes a hell of a lot more than that. I don't give a shit about anyone else's progress. If you have a few jills, then good for you. The problem is that your mind has not progressed beyond Bihar two centuries ago. You can take you a racist old mudhead out of the mud but you can't take the mud out of his head.

Then post like an intelligent person. Do not go off on a tirade and start off on my racist tendencies. They are not racist. As an Indian I am offended by things demeaning. The truth is my people are not shitting on the street of Bihar. My people in Guyana. Suh stop ur racist rants.

Oh Please! My posts on this forum are way beyond yours when it comes to the level of intelligence. The only thing I see you talking about is some mythical being coming down in the Middle East and your usual racist bullshit. Isn't it a fact that a large population of Indians still shit on the streets? I call you out for being a racist when you make posts like this among all your other nonsense -

Which proves the Colonial thinking that Fair Skin people are brilliant.

I drew that on our colonial past. Their employments standards were tailored on skin colour.

It is true I post on mythical things.

And we Indians in Guyana do not shit on streets. We may look like Indians, Culturally close to India. But evolved into a different group of people-distinct. 

A difference of opinions does not imply nonsense.

You don't even understand what you wrote. You are saying that there is proof that the color of someone's skin makes them brilliant.

English is a bit tough for you. I said that you would be shitting on the streets today if the white man did not bring your ancestors to BG. I did not say that Indians in Guyana are shitting on the streets today. You do understand that there is a difference, eh?

A difference of opinion does no imply nonsense. However, when you post something that makes no sense, we call that nonsense in English. Start posting something worthwhile and maybe I'll see that there is a bit of intelligence somewhere in your empty skull.

About half of India (600 mil) have functioning toilets, indoor plumbing, etc.  So depends which half he fell, maybe he would have had a marble sh1tter if he was there today.

Hmmmm. Intersecting. I leave it at that.

Oh so you can dish it out, but cannot take it.

Pity you weren't concerned about offending people when you painted Guyanese blacks as lazy savages who deserved to be cursed into permanent poverty by God.

BTW it is a known fact that India, and not just Bihar, has a HUGE problem with public defecation.  In fact WHO estimate that it is a big factor in explaining the ill health of many Indian kids, given the very unhygienic environment that they are exposed to.

Before your ancestors boarded ships to BG their hands were inspected.  Unless rough and calloused, they were NOT permitted in board.

Clearly the vast majority of Caribbean Indians would have been in the 50% who use the bush, side streets, and open spaces to defecate, sometimes even hanging off the edge of the train to do this!
