(Kaieteur News) – Dem boys seh Guyana now got a special kind of mathematics—one where four does equal two. And if you don’t believe it, tek a lil drive down Aubrey Barker Road.
Now leh we be fair. Government cut ribbon, smile wide, and tell everybody how dem build a big, shiny four-lane road. Plenty speeches, plenty cameras, and plenty big talk about development. The road even stretch out nice-nice and link up to the Ogle-Eccles bypass. Is progress, dem boys seh. Real progress.
But here is where the comedy start.
Soon as the ribbon done cut and the last photograph take, the road transform like magic. Not into six lanes, not into highway standard—no sir. It turn right back into two lanes. Because the other two? Dem get convert into parking space faster than you could say “billions of dollars.”
One side got cars park up like is a Sunday lime. Other side got some – not all – business people decide that the road frontage is for their customers. If you looking fuh a lane to actually drive, you got to negotiate like you in a market.
Dem boys seh is the only place where traffic jam does happen on a brand-new four-lane road with the same ease as a village dam.
Now leh we reason. If you building a four-lane road and then allow business to spring up right on the edge without proper parking, what you expect gon happen? You think people gon park in the sky? Or maybe hover like helicopter?
Government build four lanes, but planning built two. That is the real equation.
Dem boys seh next project might as well be a “two-lane road with ambition,” because that is what this one turn out to be.
All jokes aside though, somebody got to explain how you spend big money fuh expansion, only to end up right back where you start. Because if every four-lane road gon become a parking lot, then Guyana might be the first country to invent reversible development.
And that, dem boys seh, is progress—in reverse gear.
Talk half. Leff half.

(Kaieteur News) – There is a certain irony in hearing the APNU complain today about fragmentation in the Opposition.

By Sir Ronald Sanders (Kaieteur News) – Migration policy is a matter of sovereign control.
