The Culture Minister appeared on an afternoon programme on 94.1 FM on Friday November 26, 2021 and sought to lecture the black community in Guyana about what he sees as a need for more black role models.

It’s been 13 months, 15 bids, and two signed contracts, but Ashley Nader still isn’t a homeowner. Continue reading →
