Secrets sweeter than sugar cake

Feb 26, 2026 Dem Boys Seh, Features / Columnists

(Kaieteur News) – Dem boys seh people like to believe that ordinary citizens don’t know nothing. They feel is only big men in big office with big briefcase have information. But dem boys seh if you ever sit down in a barber shop, rum shop, minibus park or at a street corner in the night, you would realize that the “small man” have more information than the Special Branch.

Look at how the big revelations in America unfolding about Jeffrey Epstein. Whole set of powerful people sweating like dem in a spa. And this is in a country where journalists hiding in bushes, cameras watching every handshake, and senators does investigate senators. If all that scrutiny could still produce the Epstein scandal, imagine what could be bubbling under the surface in a country like Guyana where everybody know everybody… and everybody minding everybody business too.

Dem boys seh some Guyanese walking around with stories that would make Netflix beg for script rights. The kind of late-night rendezvous, private flights, exclusive guest lists, binge drinking, orgies and “business meetings” that start after midnight and end when the rooster crow. Allegedly. Very allegedly.

Because let we be honest: when rich and powerful start to lime with politically powerful, it ain’t always about discussing de stock market. Sometimes the only thing flowing is imported liquor. Dem boys seh there must be at least one Guyana-equivalent of an Epstein. In fact, knowing we efficiency levels, there might be two or three franchises. Maybe with loyalty cards: attend five secret parties, get one hush agreement free.

But here is the real joke: the ordinary people know who car park where and which “conference” had more dancing than debating. Guyanese memory long.

Dem boys seh it is only a matter of time before what people whisper become what others read in headlines. And when that day come, some of these high and mighty faces will look like dem accidentally bite into a lime instead of a sapodilla.

Until then, the small man smiling. Because knowledge is power — and in Guyana, power does leak.

Talk half. Leff half.
