(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...

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...

Guyana is we own!

Kaieteur News – To whom does Guyana belong? Who really are the owners of this country and its wealth? We raise these questions in the context of the surrendering of Guyana’s sovereignty to foreign multinationals. These foreign companies are being provided with an open licence to plunder our wealth and to enjoy benefits way over and above what we, the people, the owners of Guyana’s wealth enjoy.
Every Guyanese who earns an income is required to pay taxes. The rice farmer is supposed to pay taxes. The small miner jigging for a few ounces of gold has to pay his taxes. Those who mine for diamonds have to pay taxes. Those who work in government offices have to pay taxes. So why should foreign companies be exempted from paying taxes while exploiting the very resources on which you and me – the owners of Guyana’s wealth – have to pay taxes.
Something is wrong here. The average worker has to pay taxes on his or her income while some foreign workers are exempted. So, who really owns Guyana and its resources – the people of the foreign companies?
We are not only being robbed of our resources but so are our unborn children and grandchildren. Guyanese, it is time to take a stand against this violation of our rights!
