Dear Editor,
I hold to certain principles in this life and will never compromise them. I would rather to live with the consequences of having such principles than to be a hypocrite and coward. I have never and will never smear someone in secret or use people in a covert manner to destroy someone’s reputation. I do not write under a different pen name or do I have fake profiles. Anything I say to my friends about people in public life, I can also say it openly and I am never worried that someone is recording me or will repeat the contents of the discourse.
There are people who have silently destroyed others causing them to lose opportunities that would better their lives. Some have lost friends and relationships as a result. Some have made people hate others without the victims knowing why. There are people in politics who get by and get through by bringing and carrying information to benefit themselves in some way and gain the favour of leaders and those in positions. There is a name for them, undercover ‘cochore’. There is a special place in hades for such people because they cause irreparable damage to others and could associate with them and the aggrieved would be none the wiser. Those wicked people look like they are getting by nicely but they are wretched souls.
Politicians and those in public life that I say things about openly, know that they are given a fair chance to dislike me, to respond, to make me a permanent enemy and deny me opportunities when they are in positions of power. I would live with that as a consequence of calling a spade a spade. I have no ill feelings against Sarabo Halley, Joe Harmon, David Granger, Basil Williams, Volda Lawrence, Amanza Walton, Sherod Duncan, Roysdale Forde, Robert Corbin or any politician on our side that for some reason or the other, feel I said things publicly to offend them. I will not say the same for Norton at the moment because I am not a hypocrite. I am currently angry and disappointed in him but anger and disappointment are not lasting emotions. I however, do believe that Roysdale Forde may be the next President of Guyana. I do not take anything I say lightly and can work assiduously to make such a reality.
Sincerely yours,
Norman Browne

(Kaieteur News) – For many people, the idea of mental illness is tied to a very specific image: someone wandering the streets, talking to themselves, behaving in ways that are clearly “not normal.” Because of this, it can be difficult to accept that a person who looks calm, speaks clearly,...Apr 12, 2026
By Sir Ronald Sanders (Kaieteur News) – When the two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran was announced on 7th April, 2026, the immediate reaction across much of the world was relief.

(Kaieteur News) – Whatever gifts Guyana has, the PPP cohort holding the reins of government has better ones. It is astonishing the people that are engaged to deliver big projects for this country.
