GUYANA: Nandlall and Ali assure New York-based Guyanese of “fair and inclusive” governance;

07/05/2021 – 12:06 am

— opposition supporters restate discrimination

Attorney General, Anil Nandlall

By: Denis Chabrol – DEMERARA WAVES – 3rd July 2021 

As a small group of opposition supporters protested outside a restaurant in Richmond Hill, Queens, New York about the “installed” People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPPC) administration, Attorney General Anil Nandlall was promising that government will be fair and inclusive as possible.

“We have a duty and we have a responsibility and we are committed to inclusive government,” Mr. Nandlall told party faithful.

The administration in recent days appears to be at pains to assure Guyanese and the international community that there is no discrimination against anyone, there will be inclusive governance and that Guyanese will benefit from the wealth, after two American Congressmen Albio Sires and Hank Johnson had publicly called for these steps to be taken.    Continue reading →

GUYANA: Encouraging Events, Disturbing Developments – By GHK Lall

11/19/2020 – 12:05 am

Vaccine, frontline workers, inclusive oil governance, US diplomats, the president and mayor

Nov 15, 2020  The GHK Lall Column –  >>>Encouraging Events, Disturbing Developments  

Kaieteur News – The biggest piece of encouraging news was that Pfizer announced that a COVID-19 vaccine is close. As the weather gets colder up north, and Guyanese airports are reopened as it turns cooler here down south, a vaccine in the vicinity is most uplifting.

I would take a vaccine willingly. The issue is when and how many vaccines Guyana is going to get. We may not be high on the priority list of places to be offered relief. Then, there will be a fight here over who gets vaccinated first, who are compulsory recipients. Those all trouble, and there is something else sure to raise its head.      Continue reading →
