Corentyne Crying Again

Nov 24, 2025 Dem Boys Seh, Features / Columnists

(Kaieteur News) – Dem boys seh is one thing to wake up to bad news, but is another thing when the news come from the Corentyne road—because by now, everybody know that road turning into one of the deadliest pieces of asphalt in this whole country.

This past week tragedy strike again. Two souls gone, just so. More people in the hospital fighting fuh recover. Families shattered. Dreams cut short. And Guyana leffing to ask the same old question: “When we gon learn?”

Dem boys seh every time one of these accidents happen, we does see the same script play out. Big traffic campaign. Police all over. Drivers shaking in dem boots. Everybody behaving good-good like is schoolyard and the headmaster walking around. But give it a week, two week—things drop right back to normal. The flashing lights disappear, the speeding return, and we start counting bodies again.

But what really got dem boys scratching dem head is the irony. Mini-bus traffic pon the Corentyne almost vanish. Hardly any bus running regular now—only private hires. Yet still, the road claiming more lives. Dem boys seh if fewer buses deh pon the road, how come accidents still racking up? Something wrong, and everybody know what it is: speed. Especially night-speed. The kinda speed that make even the grass bow down when the cars flying past.

And is this same Corentyne—this death strip—where no overhead speed camera installed. Not one. Dem boys seh look pon the East Coast. Since overhead cameras start snapping, drivers start behaving. Fatal accidents drop. Night riders slow down. People get sense because camera don’t sleep and camera don’t take “small drink” excuses. So why Corentyne getting lef out? Why a four-lane expansion in planning but no modern traffic enforcement to match it?

Dem boys seh somebody need to wake up. Technology saving lives elsewhere—use it here too. How many more families must cry before common sense take the wheel?

To the families mourning their loved ones, dem boys extend deepest sympathy. We grieving with you. And we hoping—begging—that this tragedy not pass like all the others, forgotten until the next one. Guyana deserve better. The Corentyne deserve better. And the people deserve to live.

Talk half. Leff half.
