Dear Editor,
Congratulations to the citizens and to the police force. Over the past three weeks there have been fewer reports of murders and robberies in our local newspapers. I am delighted in this trend. In the absence of statistics, taking my observations at face value, I say boldly, this is a prayer granted. A ray of hope. By faith, I can speak of a developed Guyana.
Today, what I read in the daily newspapers are tiny matters. Complaints about VAT are slowly disappearing and the parking meters are fighting to remain. One thing that may be another challenge though, is the selection of the GECOM chairman. President Granger has made his requests known and, honestly speaking, we need to respect him. With due respect to those with opposing views, I ask the following questions – Is a court action really necessary? Is this the right time for a court action? Is it possible to challenge an eligibility criterion for any position? Some employers are tough.
I mentioned that these matters are tiny. However, they have the potential to shift our focus and strip us of valuable energy and resources. To combat this, it would be great to see our people working hand in hand to build our dear land. I had a weird thought of re-writing history so that opposing parties are forbidden to give public speeches. Instead, they must show, by actions, their plans for our land. In addition, any disagreement with the governing party must be detailed in writing, along with plausible alternatives. There is too much talent and intellect in Guyana, not too see great things happen.

(Kaieteur News) – I am not surprised that electricity demand in Linden has surged by more than 135 per cent from its 2005 level. In fact, given the price at which electricity is supplied there, it would be surprising if demand had not surged. The figures tell the story. Electricity consumption...Sep 06, 2026
By Sir Ronald Sanders (Kaieteur News) – The world has broken the 1.5°C promise it made to its most vulnerable countries. The breach has not yet been recorded on a sustained basis, but the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) says it is widely assessed as unavoidable and likely within the...Sep 13, 2026
Hard truths… (Kaieteur News) – Never knew Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo to be sneaky. Sloppy, hostility personified and sleeker than mercury, he can be. But not sneaky, not he. Hence, I weigh why he waited until Pres. Ali’s back was turned to show his face at the Arthur Chung Convention Center...Freedom of speech is our core value at Kaieteur News.
