Guyana: The U.S. report on the local judiciary – The Truth is Out

05/02/2019 – 11:11 am
  • Judiciary are saturated with troubling breaches of law, procedures, and character.

May 02, 2019  Editorial – Kaieteur News

The word is out there. And now, since it is from the mouth of foreigners, Guyanese deniers and obfuscators will find the honesty to take a stand and admit to truth and reality. Both are unpalatable and bring much shuddering, as to the state of the local judiciary and the law enforcement machinery.

The US State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor 2018 report on the local judiciary is telling. In Section e. Denial of a Fair Trial: “The law provides for an independent judiciary, and the government generally respected judicial independence and impartiality.” Good for government.

Now for the damning part, “Delays and inefficiencies undermine judicial due process.” That is universally known.       Continue reading →

The wealth gap is an understatement – Commentary

05/02/2019 – 10:26 am

 Apr 30, 2019  Editorial Kaieteur News

The wealth gap is an understatement, for that differential between haves and have-nots can no longer be confined to a mere gap. The stark reality is that it is more of a wealth ocean in vastness, a separate planet all by itself. Gap does not begin to capture the hard disparities.

According to the 2018 report from the Billionaire Bonanza, as published by the Institute for Policy Studies and carried online by Yahoo Finance on April 26, in America, the land of unlimited opportunity and dreams, three family dynasties – the Waltons of Walmart supermarket fame, the Koch Brothers with diversified businesses, and the Mars family, makers of the candy with the same name, together possess and control “a staggering US$348.7 billion in assets as of October 2018”.          Continue reading →

U.S: The Florida Legislature – where geniuses are at work — By Mohamed Hamaludin

U.S. — The Florida Legislature – a place where geniuses are at work — By Mohamed Hamaludin

On April 20, 1999, two students of Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., shot and killed 12 other students and one teacher and wounded 23 others before shooting each other dead. On Dec. 14. 2012, a 20-year-old man shot and killed 20 students and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. On Feb. 14, 2018, a former student at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Broward County, shot and killed 17 students and staff and wounded 17 others.

It is highly debatable whether any of these mass murders would have been prevented if teachers had been armed. Still, the geniuses who dominate Florida’s government believe that they should be and they are passing a law to that effect, over the objections of students at Douglas High and others. Arming teachers serves only to increase the sale of guns and boost the profits of firearms manufacturers. There are roughly 175,000 teachers in just over 4,200 public schools. The average cost of a handgun is about $350. That works out to about $61 million.
