(Kaieteur News) – There is a particular species of political nostalgia that thrives in countries with short memories. It takes yesterday’s failures, dusts them with the language of national purpose, places them beneath a portrait of the departed leader and calls the result a vision. This is...

Give Guyanese a chance!
Oct 10, 2020 Front Page Comment, News
Kaieteur News – A fourth group has returned prime lands in Ogle to NICIL. We commend all four groups and the people behind them for doing the right thing, the honourable thing. We recognize and applaud them for what could be costly but shouldn’t be.
The other groups that received similar parcels of those Ogle prime lands should take shame off their faces and return those lands without further delay. President Ali should, through NICIL, welcome the return of those pieces of prime real estate and then do something more.
We call upon His Excellency to take those same returned lands and offer them to Guyanese, who are interested and have the financial wherewithal, to make the best use of those plots for the betterment of their families, fellow citizens, and this nation. We remind President Ali that charity begins at home, and that we Guyanese should have first chance to choose these kinds of lands. Give us the opportunity to do right for ourselves by doing right by us, Mr. President.
This is why we applaud the Hon. Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Zulfikar Mustafa, for courteously and skilfully parrying the overture from the Chilean Ambassador looking for an outlet here for his country’s exports of fruits and other agricultural produce. We heard Minister Mustafa loudly and clearly: help us with expertise but allow us to develop our agricultural base and stand on our own feet.
This is what we believe this government should be looking to do in every area of our endeavours, so that we can explore and exploit to our satisfaction the many rich gifts that have been given to us. This means our prime lands; it means all our mineral wealth. And, most of all, it means our oil. Give Guyanese a chance to prove themselves and prosper in their own space and their own terms.
President Ali: are you listening? How do you, Sir, plan on responding?
