If speed reading was an Olympic sport…

Aug 09, 2024 Dem Boys Seh, Features / Columnists, News

Kaieteur News – Dem boys seh in dis country, we got speed readers like yuh wouldn’t believe. Dem boys does read so fast, dem done finish de whole document even before de author done write it! Is like magic, but de real magic is how fast things does get approve.

Take dem field development plans fuh de oil blocks. Dem thick like phone book. Full ah technical jargon and fine print wah mek yuh head spin. But guess wah? Dem does get approve in de blink of an eye. De ink ain’t even dry pun de paper and dem man already got de stamp ready.

Dem boys seh de people wah approving these things must be superhuman. How else yuh explain de speed? Dem boys does wonder if dem even tek de time fuh read all dem pages. Or if dem just flipping through and nodding. De plan coulda seh “drill fuh oil in de middle ah Main Street” and dem wouldn’t even notice!

Yuh know, when dem boys was in school, teacher always seh, “Read yuh books carefully, tek yuh time and study.” But apparently, that rule ain’t apply when it come to approving oil deals. It look like de new rule is “De faster, de better!” Maybe de people wah approving these plans does tek special classes in speed reading. Or maybe dem just got a knack fuh skimming through de important parts, like de signature page.

Dem boys seh if yuh blink, yuh might miss how quick things does happen in this country. De oil money ain’t even start flow good yet, but dem development plans does get approve at lightning speed. All yuh could do is sit back and admire de efficiency. If only de rest ah de government could work so fast, Guyana woulda been de richest country in de world by now!

Talk half. Leff half.
