Hi!

Who or what is swamp? Gni??

It looks like the swamp has been cleared. Nobody is posting anymore.  Ray gave notice that the Backdam will be shutting down in 12 months. What about GNI?

GNI has about 100 to 200 Guests reading.

What are Eco Lodges?

Is the Swamp closing done? Maybe it needs someone more competent to run it.

Why the questions ? any member are free to post. For clarity the contract for the forum software will expire when i decide to close it. At the least there are over 200 visitors daily, probably reading past posts.

I didn't say that they are not free to post. There are only about 5 people posting and I want to know if people lost interest in the forum as there is no constructive criticism or arguments.

The Guests are reading cut and paste articles from the daily newspapers.

The construction of 30 eco-lodges at Diamond on the East Bank Demerara is in its final stages and is expected to be completed by September 7th to accommodate the influx of tourists coming for the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2023.

Ramaji, today is the 22nd. What's the hold up now? What's the new completion date?

One news media is saying 80 % of Guyanese living in poverty!

That's all propaganda and the Opposition is getting good at it. They had 38 years to rectify the situation but didn't.

That's the way the blacks wanted it. Burnham gave them jobs in the National Service, army, police force, teaching profession, and the Government Service at minimum wage. What happened to those jobs? They were given lands on the East bank of the Demerara River and they sold the lands to the Indians. Whose fault is that? What happened to the coop shops that Burnham gave them? Is it the PPP's fault that they went under?

Is the completion date the problem? It is going to be finished very soon. You shouldn't bother and complain because you know as well as I do that President Irfaan Ali is doing a hell of a good job.

It used to be the best. I agree.

IT's not propaganda. It's being exposed in the media. Why are the contractors not being penalized for their failures  and shitty work?

Who believes the Media? First, I was told that they ran out of money which indicates that the money was squandered.  You probably know the rest or else you wouldn't have ask the question.

Perhaps they are cronies. That would explain why they are not being punished or black listed.

I was asked: So why are thousands of Guyanese currently trying to get into USA and Canada?

I support Ali in his One Guyana moves.
