GUYANA: Amerindian Association unfazed by Jagdeo’s attacks

02/22/2023 – 6:10 am

…says will continue to monitor policies, decisions that affect the lives of indigenous peoples

Feb 22, 2023 – Kaieteur News – Against the background of recent attacks on the organisation, by Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo, the Amerindian Peoples Association (APA) said it is unfazed by the action of the government official, reminding that it has a responsibility to monitor the policies and decisions that particularly affect the lives of indigenous peoples in Guyana and will continue to do so.

Last week during a meeting with Amerindian leaders, Jagdeo lashed out at the organisation for its criticisms of government’s handling of the carbon credit sale initiative it has embarked on. The APA is not the only organisation that has criticised the initiative. In responding to Jagdeo the APA said the VPs vilification of the organisation is a continuation of the attacks by Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Nigel Dharamlall. “However, the APA remains resolute in its objective of ensuring that indigenous peoples’ rights are protected and respected by all. The APA also wonders why the organisation is being used as a scapegoat and distraction, and why the real issues are not being addressed.” Continue reading →

Recently, I have taken 11 days off. — My last entry was on February 8, 2023. I restarted entries today.

Although there are not many comments on the blog it gets about 500 hits daily even if there are no new entries. This increases to over 800 hits when articles are inserted..
The focus will now change slightly as its original purpose was to help Guyanese Associations with their advertisements. Social media like Facebook has made most organizations to have an Internet presence.

GUYANA: Decriminalisation of marijuana is necessary – By Akola Thompson

Marijuana plant

By Akola Thompson – February 3, 2023

In 2021, the Guyana parliament approved an amendment to the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Control) Bill, resulting in the removal of custodial sentences for persons in possession of 30 grammes or less of cannabis. While this was a good first step, it falls woefully short of the legislative changes that are needed to correct the social harm that criminalization has wreaked on communities for decades.

Attorney General, Anil Nandlall in speaking on the bill stated that decriminalisation was never the aim, and to that, I ask, why not? If it is one thing Guyanese politicians love it’s extensive consultations. This is not to say that consultations are not necessary, they are an incredibly important part of democratic processes. However, there has been the tendency to utilise this as a way of not making firm decisions on divisive legislation such as marijuana decriminalisation, removal of the buggery laws etc. Continue reading →

GUYANA: Economic Forecasts -“Rice is done with. It can’t pay.” – Commentary

02/05/2023 – 12:10 am

By Stabroek News EDITORIAL – February 4, 2023

This looks very much like a 94-page cut and paste budget speech with the minister simply picking numbers out of thin air for what were once the three key sectors of the economy.

For example in his 2022 budget speech, Minister Singh projected that the sugar sector would “grow by 11.8 percent, as GuySuCo will begin to recover from the onslaught of the 2021 floods, with the aim of producing almost 65,000 tonnes of sugar. Similarly, the rice growing subsector is forecasted to expand by 25.1 percent in 2022.”

What actually happened? Sugar declined by 18.9% to 47,000 tonnes while rice was estimated to have grown by 8.1% (although the use of the word estimated suggests some uncertainty over that figure). Continue reading →
