Is that Rev Al and Ramotar on top of the falls?

pras:

Did you know 403,000 ounces of gold was declared in 2012 by small and medium sized miners in Guyana---at today's price(1659/oz) that's $668.5 million dollars(US).

Next year a few large scale gold operations will be coming on line---billions of dollars(US) of gold will be produced.

GUYANA APPROVED FOR US$45 MILLION IN NORWAY FUNDS

MORE PROGRESS MADE IN GUYANA

Guyana has been approved to receive an additional US$45M from the Government of Norway for its climate services in maintaining extremely low levels of deforestation while advancing the nation’s landmark Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS).
This now brings all three contributions from the Norway-Guyana climate and forest partnership to a total of US$115M since the programme was announced in 2009, the Office of the president announced..

 

 

 

 

Guyana has alot of gold Rev Al but we as a nation have to make sure that we get every dollar for it that we can get because one day it would be no more.

is the "decent interval" over already?

Listen! Guyana's gold resources are immense and the country is only just beginning to develop that resource---most mining has been done by small and medium sized operations----but there are some huge operations(Canadian owned) that will come on board in the near future.

Companies will be spending hundreds of millions to develop Guyana's gold resources---they expect a decent return on their investment.

But the good news is Guyana will also benefit.

Rev

is that you rev.  you back i see.

great to engage you again.

mekking sure u point out is 'FOREIGN,' eh bai . . . just so the local oligarchs' hands remain hidden

Good to see you warming up to "shared governance".

Hi Ron:

This is, hopefully, the new and improved Rev.

I am keen on seeing Guyana experience significant economic growth and development.

Politically--there will never be any progress.

Rev

bASEMAN, i DONT KNOW WHICH pLANET YOU WERE ON BUT FROM day one, I begged the Opposition to do their Jobs, the Job the People gave them.

Even you must admit--your fellow Guyanese are resourceful lot---and yes, local Guyanese--crooked politicians and businessmen, will profit handsomely from the gold resources.

Rev

kvelling with pride i seee; u must get a hell of a rush being a tool and accessory to crime . . . bravo

Ed and Sonny were proud too

Ed Ahmed and Sonny Ramdeo were consumed by greed and they'll rightfully receive and serve lengthy prison sentences.

RE: CROOKED & CORRUPT GUYANESE

The Rev is surprised that after a year of controlling parliament the AFC/PNC coalition has not brought a single corruption charge against any PPP politician.

Could Barath jagdeo, Irfaan Ali, Clement Rohee, Robert Persaud, etc, etc be innocent souls ?

Rev

myyyy, how quick we are to cuss and abandon erstwhile friends, ideological soulmates, colleagues in crime . . . as soon as they get fitted for their orange jump suits

owww . . . look how alyuh fughet RK even existed

with fair weather cowards like you in their corner, "Barath jagdeo, Irfaan Ali, Clement Rohee, Robert Persaud, etc" need to know that they are a single indictment removed from non-personhood

 REV: GUYANA: A Most Exciting Year Ahead

Rev

Progress continues under the PPP despite political setbacks. May our beloved Guyana continue to prosper. I would also like to see more wealth distribution in Guyana across all races. It would be a bonus if this can be achieved.

Wait yu a de racist wa bin a play wid numba foh sho Romney go win electshun. 

jalil bhai:

You must be grossly disappointed that after a year controlling parliament your beloved PNC/AFC have not brought a single charge of corruption against any member of the PPP----not a single charge jalil bhai.

Anyway jalil bhai, all crooked and corrupt Guyanese must face the music---they must be put on trial and if found guilty they must be jailed.

Rev

Baseman,

Jagan supported shared governance hence the Civic component of the PPP. This was a step in the right direction. Shared governance is not a bad idea to end political gridlock in Guyana. If we truly love and care for Guyana, then we can be open to this idea.

We cannot bury our heads in the sand and ignore the racial, social and political divide in Guyana. Politicians from all political parties need to sit down a chart a new course for the future of Guyana. Will this ever happen ? I am not optimistic since we need a young generation to end the racial and political divide in Guyana.

The AFC had the best chance to bride the gap but got sucked in by the PNC and their own political leaders egos and hence the same old political game that is being played out today in Guyana.

I am not optimistic that we will see shared governance in Guyana in the near future.

yuji:

When is the last time you visited Guyana ?

Go and travel across Guyana---you'll see that the PPP has built new schools all across Guyana---they have built new health care facilities all across Guyana.

The private sector is booming---that means more jobs for Guyanese.

In the 1970s and 80s Guyana was an economic basket case----the country was bankrupt. Today Guyana is booming. And the boom times will continue for decades to come.

Listen yuji! When the Rev looks at Guyana---he sees a country he sees a country that can feed itself---agriculture and fishing sectors are doing well. He also sees a country with immense natural resources---gold, bauxite, manganese forestry products, etc. And finally he sees a country that is working on becoming energy independent----if that amaila falls project ever gets developed in a sensible manner--that would be a boon for Guyana. A country that can feed itself, a country with immense natural resources, and a country that is energy independent is a country that is destined for prosperity.

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT FOR GUYANA--economically and socially--but not politically--the ppp, afc and pnc will always be at loggerheads--but the Guyanese people and the private sector will prosper.

Rev

Hi Yugi. Nice piece there.

Could you please give an example of where power sharing or shared governance has been successful?

Merry Christmas.

Kenya comes to mind.  We need to start a dialogue and it can only begin with politicians from all political stripes.

I am optimistic that a new generation will chart a new course for Guyana. Until then, we will all be fighting and arguing as the country suffers. We need to look ahead.

Let us encourage the younger generation to get involved and send the old school politicians into retirement.

Whose gold is it?

You don't call for shared governance when you know you can never win at the game you are playing. Let them take their marbles and go home.

The AFC/pNC will not take evasive maneuvers as their stolen shipment is now under investigation. They need the money to fund their campaign of mo fiah slow fiah, however it is time to cut their losses and run and protect their agents.  

Gurdle, Iman heard that everyone here is aware of you and how you'll do anything, no matter how slimy, to throw people off your runnings.

I heard that you'll even try casting blame on the opposition even though the PPP themselves not stupid enough to do so.

This clearly shows your shallow mind.

Oh No!: Jagdeo snubs idea of shared governance

Font size:

Typical mediocre loser approach.  You take a garden hose to douse a forest fire.

Why don't you brilliant minds who advocate this "power sharing" model point to another Caribbean or small(< 1m population) 3rd world nation which has successfully implemented it. Or is Guyana supposed to be the guinea pig?

The PPP/C now holds executive power while the combined opposition holds legislative power. Is this not a power -sharing model?

Mitts:

You are spot on---the PPP controlling the executive branch and the PNC/AFC controlling the legislative branch---that is a form of power sharing---and the Guyanese people seem contented with the current arrangement.

The idea of the PPP and PNC/AFC sharing power in the executive branch is totally absurd and ludicrous.

The reality is there will never be progress politically in Guyana---the PPP, AFC and PNC will always blame, condemn and criticize each other---they will always be at loggerheads.

But despite the intransigence of the political parties in Guyana---the country will prosper---Guyanese people are a very creative and resourceful lot---and the private sector in Guyana is currently booming.

Rev

Welcome back Rev. I don't speak for the AFC, but what I think they are looking for in this model is collaboration as seen when they brought up the issue of VAT pivately with the PPP/C before the presentation of the 2011-2012 budget. My guess is, it all comes down to trust in the end. I think most homes have power sharing between husbands and wives.

Mitts:

There is an old saying, "never trust anyone who wants what you've got."

The PPP controls the executive branch---the PNC/AFC leaders want what they PPP have---control of the executive branch---so the PPP politicians will never trust the PNC/AFC politicians.

Politically there will be no progress in Guyana---but economically and socially the country will continue to prosper.

Rev

Rev I am really glad you are back.

The strenght of any realtionship ultimately relies on respect and trust.

In religion I choose respect for others over tolerance.

Guyana will certainly progress, however I feel we can achieve more thru collabaration rather than confrontation.

Mitts:

It is highly unlikely there will ever be meaningful collaboration among the PPP, PNC and AFC politicians---to many false pride and egos---confrontation seems to be their modus operandi.

But thankfully economic and social progress is being made in Guyana despite the bickerings and the squabbles among the politicians in parliament.

Listen Mitts! Guyana is a country that can feed itself---the agriculture sector is booming; Guyana is also a country with immense natural resources---many of those resources are now beginning to be tapped---that means more jobs and more wealth for the country---and finally Guyana is aiming to be energy independent---if the hydro can be realized in a feasible manner---the country will achieve economic independence.

Look at neighboring Brazil---they feed themselves---they have abundant natural resources---and they are energy independent---Brazil has become an economic powerhouse.

Guyana is one step away from becoming prosperous---it needs to be energy independent----if hydro is feasible it must be developed---this would be great for Guyana---new industries will be developed if Guyana achieves energy independence.

Guyanese politicians can bawl and bray all they want Mitts---but the country is moving forward----PPP, PNC, AFC---no politician can stop the progress in Guyana.

Rev

There is nothing wrong with the AFC keeping PPP politicans honest in parliament---but make no mistake---the AFC has zero role to play in the prosperity of Guyana.

IT'S THE PRIVATE SECTOR THAT IS CATALYZING THE BOOM IN GUYANA.
