Government running like a cake shop

Mar 27, 2026 Dem Boys Seh, Features / Columnists

(Kaieteur News) – Yesterday was Ram Navami, and dem boys seh extend greetings to all Hindu brothers and sisters celebrating the birth of Lord Rama. A sacred day, a time for devotion, reflection, and prayer.

But apparently, it was also a time for last-minute announcement because only on the very same day, like a surprise birthday candle, government announce time-off for people to attend observances. Now leh we be serious fuh one second—well, as serious as dem boys does get. You mean to tell me Cabinet sit down, discuss, agree, and approve time-off… and then forget to tell anybody until the morning of the holiday? That ain’t governance; that is guesswork.

Dem boys seh it got more questions than answers. When exactly Cabinet make this grand decision? Was it after lunch? Before breakfast? Or when somebody suddenly remember, “Eh-eh, today is Ram Navami, you know!” And just like that, boom—announcement drop.

And who job it is to pass on important decisions like these? Because clearly, somebody either fall asleep on the job or lose the memo behind the filing cabinet. Was any circular sent out to ministries? Any email? Any WhatsApp message? Or was the plan to rely on telepathy?

Dem boys seh the whole thing starting to look like government running a cake shop. You ever go in a cake shop and the lady tell you, “Come back later, we might bake something”? That is exactly how things operating. Decisions baking in the back, but nobody know what coming out or when.

Today it is time-off announcement same day. Tomorrow it might be tax changes announced after the deadline pass. Next week, dem might declare a public holiday after everybody already reach wuk.

One man tell dem boys he only find out about the time-off when he reach office—and by then, he boss tell he, “Well, you here already, so you might as well stay.”

Dem boys seh running a country is not like icing a sponge cake—you can’t just add things at the last minute and hope it come out sweet. People need notice. People need planning. And most of all, people need a government that remember it managing a nation—not a neighbourhood bakery with unpredictable opening hours.

Because right now, if this is how things going, citizens might soon have to check the menu every morning to see what policy fresh out the oven.

Talk half. Leff half.
