De Vee Pee cooking without a recipe
Dem Boys Seh…
Kaieteur News- Dem boys seh is one thing fuh cookin’ in yuh kitchen and another fuh runnin’ a country oil sector. And right now, de Vee Pee look like he baking bread with he eyes closed and no flour measurement. De man seh he got a depletion policy—carefully calibrated, mind yuh—but not a soul ever see it. Not even de Parliament.
De whole thing remind dem boys of dat auntie who seh she got a special stew recipe but never write it down. Every time she cook, it come out different—sometimes sweet, sometimes salt, and sometimes it bun de whole bottom of de pot. But she still seh, “Don’t worry, is de same recipe.” That is exactly how de Vee Pee handling dis oil ting.
Imagine if yuh go to a bank and de manager tell yuh, “We got a savings plan for yuh, but we cyan show yuh de details. Just trust we.” Yuh woulda walk out deh faster than a 100 meters sprinter! But de Vee Pee want we trust he word like he is de oil whisperer.
De prices done drop 20% from $82 to $66 in five months. Twenty percent is not a sneeze—it’s a full-blown flu! But dat don’t seem to worry de Vee Pee. Why worry! Is like drivin’ through rain and refuse to turn on wipers because yuh don’t want to change de view.
Dem boys seh a depletion policy ain’t just fuh now—it’s fuh we pickney and dem pickney pickney. But de government treating it like a party invite—only de oil company get one, and de rest of we deh outside waitin’.
Guyana, wake up! Is we oil. We need a real plan, not invisible ink and slick talk. Right now, Exxon holding de pen, and we paper blank.
Talk half. Leff half
