Poor people snatching phones, politicians snatching oil blocks

Kaieteur News – From top to bottom, Guyanese society is riddled with those who snatch what belongs to others, especially from the poor and the helpless. Snatching is so chronic that this country is now a snatcher’s paradise.

Young men on bicycles in the streets, snatch purses with nothing inside, snatch cheap cellphones, snatch empty shopping bags. Poor citizens are so alarmed that they leave handbags home and walk with an umbrella only. Those are also snatched. Snatching, though never condoned, allows feeding families, paying the light bill, buying medicines. This is how bad things are in this richest of lands, where the poor are forced to snatch from their fellow poor.

At the top from, comfortable in their duty-free vehicles or their high decision-making offices, young and old Guyanese men (and women) join with foreigner exploiters to snatch our gold and timber and bauxite. PPP and PNC ‘leaders’ partner with the outsiders to snatch the biggest prize of all, our fabulous oil wealth. And after these leaders have conspired with foreigners to rob us, they snatched a sweet and rewarding piece of the oil action for themselves. What they snatch will afford them to live like kings for generations to come.

We could be the richest country in the world per person (capita), but here are our hungry brothers forced to snatch the little that we have from us, so that they can survive. What would the right-thinking citizens of any country do with leaders like these, who snatch away birthright and leave us starving and hopeless?

The PPP promised to renegotiate the Exxon contract .  They haven't and again have betrayed their supporters.  The Pradoville crooks need to be removed urgently.

When you climb the CN tower with your gun you can make that one of your demands.

There are a few wood processors, they do excellent products.

Is " snatch and run" another name for "choke and rob"?  The PNC goons are up to their old tricks again. Some token Indians must be proud of their friends.
