Keep de sides of the roadways clear

Feb 20, 2026 Dem Boys Seh, Features / Columnists

(Kaieteur News) – Dem boys seh is a strange thing how some people does treat public road like if it is dem great-grandmother backyard. All over Guyana, you seeing derelict vehicles and big, hulking trailers park up so permanent, you would think dem paying land tax.

Dem boys seh some of dem trucks ain’t move since de last general election. Grass growing round de tyres, bush creeping up de chassis, and yet de thing still occupying half de roadway like it pay rent. And when night fall? Lawd have mercy. No reflectors, no lights, no warning sign. Just one big  shadow waiting to baptize some unsuspecting driver into eternity.

Dem boys seh plenty people done meet dem end crashing into dem abandoned trailers and broken-down vehicles. Especially on some of dem new roadways where traffic moving fast-fast because everybody testing out de fresh asphalt. One minute you enjoying de breeze, next minute you kissing steel and saying goodbye to life and limb. And then we does shake we head and talk ‘bout “another tragic accident,” like if tragedy does sprout from de drain by itself.

These things is death traps. Not inconvenience, not eyesore — death traps. You driving at night and suddenly is like de road grow obstacle course.

Dem boys seh government promise that dem gon remove dem. And yes, we hear de announcement. Press conference, strong words, stern faces. But like plenty other promises, it taking it sweet, sweet time. Meanwhile, de trailers still sunbathing on de shoulder and de old vehicles still leaning over like drunk uncles at wedding.

If a citizen park so in de middle of de road, police quick-quick to clamp and tow. But these big metallic coffins? Dem getting VIP treatment.

Dem boys seh is time to stop talking and start towing. Before de next headline write itself in blood on brand-new asphalt.

Talk half. Leff half.
