Kaieteur News – Happy holidays to all Guyanese, no exceptions. Happy holidays also to those who have made Guyana their home, some temporarily due to commerce, others because of the necessity of circumstances. Having been there and lived with my own circumstances for an eternity, I know what it is like to be away from the land of one’s birth.

This is the size of the endowment that has been given, the inheritance that is ours. The wish and prayer are that what is in mind is accurate. All have something, none is without. In a land as filled to overflowing as it is with riches, we are the ones that should be sharing joy to the world because we have such joy in our times, and also resonating in our hearts.

When we were always on the move to elsewhere, others are tumbling over themselves to get here. Continue reading →

United States Ambassador to Guyana, Sarah Ann-Lynch made this point during a recent discussion hosted by Plaza Central (a podcast from the Wilson Center’s Latin American Programme).
The envoy agreed that Guyana is on a remarkable trajectory as it is poised to register an almost 60% growth rate on account of the oil industry. She recalled that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projected that the new oil producer will see about 30% growth from 2023 onward. While Guyana is set on an enviable pathway, she said the road ahead will have its fair share of challenges, two of which she opined to be achieving inclusion and guarding against the potential for corruption.

GUYANA: Georgetown and Silica City – Commentary
Our own Georgetown was both a planned city and grew haphazardly. It was planned in the sense that in 1781 the British selected the site for a town, building a fort somewhere near the museum – although no one is sure exactly where it was − and deciding that the seat of government would be on the strip of land which ran south from the Brandwagt or Dutch signal station, around where Stabroek Market now stands.
