The A New United Guyana (ANUG) party is set to be launched in another two weeks’ time at a press conference at which announcements will be made, according to one of its founders Ralph Ramkarran SC.

The launch of the party was brought forward in the aftermath of the vote in favour of a no- confidence motion against the government brought by the opposition People’s Progressive Party/Civic on December 21, 2018 and the expectation that the government has to hold fresh general elections within 90 days of the approval of the motion.  Continue reading

Guyana: Prevailing lack of systems – By Dave Martins

Prevailing lack of systems

After migrating to Canada in the late 1950s, I had been back to the country starting in 1967, when Tradewinds music became popular and while the visits were short – usually two weeks – they were regular, sometimes twice a year.  Consequently, I thought I knew the place – after all, I had grown up here.  It was a shock therefore for me, when I did return here to live 9 years ago, to learn, among many discoveries, that following our independence many of the fundamental systematic approaches to government and business were somewhat lacking here.       Continue reading
