Truly wonderful news. Great things were expected of Safraz and greatly did he deliver. Warmest congratulations to the lad no less than to Odeen and Evangeline.

Congrats to Safraz. He should try advising the PPP of which his dad is a major part on pirating textbooks.

A man's life is not just about politics. I'm sure Safraz has a very fulfilling life.

Young lawyers trying to make partner in prestigious law firms have to put in long, tortuous hours---in the Rev's days in Investment Banking back in the late 80s---the hours were long and gruelling---the Rev only found time for hobbies like following politics when he became his own boss.

Safraz has achieved distinction in his professional field---hope he finds the time to have fun--to relax---and enjoy the finer things in life. Right now he is doing remarkably well in his professional field---I wish him continued success.

Congrats to Safraz. That he had vision is clearly seen in the fact he created this site and its basic look and feel has not changed in over a decade and a half. He is also one of less than five persons on this site who has ever wrote and presented before an audience or for publication an analytic view of Guyanese politics. I did not and still do not agree with it but it was and remains seminal.

I can say also he is one of a few people who could speak to politics, science and society and technology on this site. Congratulations to him. He should resume posting or at least comment from his specialty on the PPP decision to steal intellectual property from a publishing house. The gravity of the situation needed his input.
