This is surely a sign of what kind of heart is the chest of these two political parties that pretend everyday to have us believe they truly care about the rule of law, democracy, and the welfare of all citizens. It is utterly shameful to see how our politicians refused to stand up for what is right yet they condemn others around the world for terror and dictatorial rule while ignoring the threat of terror at home. It reminds me of Sir Sridath Ramphal condemning apartheid on the international stage while supporting an undemocratic regime in his homeland.

Penis erection politics and the goat
manâs goat politics
The incident in which a powerful PPPite told a very young journalist in a request for an interview that he still can achieve penis erection has come at an interesting time. In Trinidad, the Prime Minister is in an ongoing no-nonsense mood. She has fired several Ministers over embarrassing indiscretions. Had one of her Ministers done what this PPPite did to that journalist, he would have been fired. In Guyana, the reverse is the opposite, the more sexually depraved are the apparatchiks, the greater the protection by the party machine. The sexual thing in politics in Guyana is not new. Maybe it goes way back to the early post-colonial days. But the sickening and semi-civilized dimensions can really be dated to the era of the champion. The champion really dirtied the personality, mind, soul, heart and character of the PPP. It is not that the PPP had much of those elements anyway, but what little the PPP had of them, the champion destroyed with the saturation of sexual excesses. One simply has to do elementary Freudian analysis on the penis erection encounter and one will see how sexual morbidities have taken over the PPP Government. There are literally millions of ways you can indicate to a woman that you want to have sex with her. You have to belong to a culture of extreme lecherousness to tell her; âI want you to know I still can get an erection.â Why did he descend to such vulgar levels? Because this is what he has seen since the champion took over his party and the country. Look who the champion surrounded himself with? Look what crazy sexual things they say and do? Let me repeat in these columns about an incident that took place with me and one of the most intimate pals of the champion. I was coming out of the Foreign Service Institute of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on New Garden Street when this tall friend of the champion who is a stain on the revolutionary credentials of the African people of Guyana came into my car. He just opened the door and sat down. I swear on my life, this is what he did. There wasnât time to stop him. He asked if I was going downtown, then said, âThis is the first time Iâve see you in person; I didnât know you were so small, how you is manage to FâĶ all those women at UG?â That is how this man greeted me. This man became extremely close to the champion. Imagine what direction he and the champion went into. I can tell you that when Roger Khan was in his prime, there were nasty late parties at the Pegasus in which the type of debaucheries that took place there featured many prominent members of the corridors of power as participants. This is the direction the champion took the PPP into. This is the only world the penis erection man knows, that is why after one of the annual anniversary events of Cheddi Jaganâs death at the mansion of the champion, he took a 14-year-old and played with her at his home rather than keep the promise to her mother that he would take her to her home. The penis erection incident will not be the last. The culture of sexual escapades has overtaken the organization that Cheddi Jagan left behind. To hear about these sexual escapades would sicken you, especially since they involved underage age boys and girls. It simply boggles the mind why the powerful United States has not moved against this regime given its mountain of unspeakable immoralities. My two nephews and my brother-in-law visited from Canada some years ago and we stayed way into the early morning at Celina Resort at the Kitty pump station. The caprine Minister came in with another gentleman and two definitely underage teens. What the penis erection man did is just the tip of the iceberg. But that will not deter the goat man. The goat man will continue to tell Guyanese that his party and his government are the best things to have happened to Guyana. The goat man is going to completely black out from his press conference notes or from his mind when he addresses his party supporters that penis erection politics has permanently damaged the image of his party. The goat Minister is not going to tell Guyanese that never before in the history of politics, has power been so intertwined with sexual miasma, sexual orgies, sexual vocabulary as in the rule of the PPP since 1999. Sad though that as the goat man continues to sing his song of PPP goodness, penis erection politics will continue to make him look like a goat.
Ed Ahmad gears to make $600M on $80M GuySuCo land deal
âĶchanges from wood processing plant to housing scheme
Almost five years after acquiring a huge piece of prime, seaside property to develop a value-added wood processing operation, a New York-based Guyanese businessman has now instead converted the area into house lots.
However, there has been no official announcement by the administration over the new arrangements and who would have given the permission. The conditions of sale were that the company would have set up a factory to creat jobs for persons in the neighbourhood. This condition was responsible for the low price they paid for the land. There has been no factory to date. Instead there is a multi-million-dollar housing development project. The project, Leonora Mall and Hollywood Garden, is being managed by Leonora Projects which is owned by Shareef and Ed Ahmad. The latter is said to be a close associate of former President Bharrat Jagdeo. The name of this project is advertised on a signboard established at the site of what was to be the location of the wood processing plant. The conversion of the almost 17-acre plot to the Leonora Mall and Hollywood Garden has been raising eyebrows as again, it is the controversial National Industrial and Commercial Investments Ltd (NICIL) that is involved. Winston Brassington heads NICIL although he offered his resignation almost a year ago. He was the one that piloted this deal with Ahmad. The land, located around a scenic turn, was once the managersâ compound. It was under the control of the state-owned Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) and home to a pool and several of GuySuCoâs senior staffers. Around 2009, NICIL reportedly sold it to Ahmad for $80M or about $4.7M per acre. According to the companyâs website, Leonora Projects is planning to construct 87 homes on the site. Company officials said, yesterday, that a house lot is now being sold for at least $7M. This means that the $80 million plot of land is now worth more than $600M. The company is also building homes for at least $30M each. In announcing the sale, NICIL and its sister agency, Privatisation Unit, had said that the use of the land was restricted to value-added wood processing operations. The sale of the land was made to one of Ahmadâs companies, South American Woods Incorporated, which is also owned by another individual whose name is given as Shareef Ahmad. According to the website leonoraprojects.com, the initiative is one of the most grand development projects in Guyana. âIt is being done with âyou in mindâ. Leonora Projects is a vision of Ed Ahmad.â It is the plan to include a full gas and service station, facilities to house two banks and a huge shopping mall. âLeonora Projects illustrates the envisioning of an entire community, not just homes,â the website says. The Leonora projects are being run from Ahmadâs building materials depot at Ruimveldt, Georgetown. NICIL itself has been embroiled in a number of questionable transactions including its privatization of the Sanata
Complex in Ruimveldt which was sold cheaply to Queens Atlantic, headed by former President Bharrat Jagdeoâs best friend, Dr. Ranjisinghi âBobbyâ Ramroop. NICILâs point man, Winston Brassington, is at the centre of a number of questionable deals including the Marriott Hotel and financial arrangements of the Berbice River Bridge. Ahmad was charged by the US Federal authorities for his involvement in a massive real estate fraud scheme. In October 2012, during a plea deal in a New York court, he was found guilty of knowingly and intentionally conspiring to defraud several lending institutions over a period of 15 years.
