MINISTER  of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony has announced a  colourful calendar of events being organised by his ministry,

as part of  the activities in observance of the 16th anniversary of African  Emancipation in Guyana

It  kicks off with the traditional Emancipation Day Festival on August 1 :

which will see thousands of Guyanese of all ethnicities coming together  to mingle as :

One People; One Nation; with one Common Destiny,

as they  celebrate the occasion, which not only freed the Africans and peoples of  African ancestry, but, effectively,

put an end to slavery in any form  in Guyana.........

Chairman claims that Indentureism was a form of Slavery ...

Including mental slavery 

Guyana on Fire to Emancipate Government TARIFF  :lipsrsealed:

is the tariff good or bad?


who owns the guyana power..government or private industry?


was it privatised under neo-liberal policies?

The tariff was in need of review ... from what I have been told, there was no electricity increase in Linden for a long time.  In the meantime, GT people were being choked .....


Did the people of Linden have a reason to protest?  Yes, since it is human to protest against anything that is detrimental to them, and higher tariffs will be detrimental to them, given the state of the cost of living in Guyana.


Did the police have a right to monitor and keep order?  YES!!!!


Did they have a right to shoot to kill?  NO!!!!




Am I going to get hauled over the coals, tarred and feathered and called vile names for  the opinions expressed here?  OF COURSE!!!!!!  Business as usual..

How is the economy of Linden

are they rolling in dough ...

Can they handle a Cost Of Living increase ..

Forget the rest of the country .....

To use a rich ....say , retail sector and compare it to a Mining town :

is SILLY .

and Ramotar knows that !
