The Government announced that 84 streetlights were recently installed and activated between Burnham Drive, McKenzie and the Wismar section in Linden, Region 10.

Kester Hinds, Senior Project Engineer within the Ministry of Public Infrastructure with responsibility for maintenance, traffic and safety, has indicated that the government expended $13M to improve safety and security within those areas.

He said the scope of works included the installation of 84 lights on wallaba poles along with the running of interconnecting cables.

Hinds, according to a GINA report, noted that whilst persons would have varying responses to the longevity of the wallaba poles, the ministry uses them because they are procured at an affordable cost, thereby allowing for more installations to be done.

It is expected that 2016 will see the continued installation of streetlights countrywide, along with the maintenance of lights in other areas.

One moment the PPP shouting that the thieves like unlit streets, which makes East Indians fearful. Well Linden once experienced a targeting of East Indians in a big way, unlike any other part of Guyana. It is therefore very sensible to install extra street lights in Linden so that East Indians living in Linden need no longer be so afraid as in the past.

AND, AND, AND the people of Linden pay less for their electricity than the rest of Guyana.  A program that gave them this right under the PPP.  When rates went up slightly for them 3 years ago, they were protesting and killing people on the streets.

Lindeners will still pay 50% less than rest of Guyana – Luncheon

April 28, 2012 | By | Filed Under News 

Despite impending tariff hikeâ€Ķ

A tariff hike in electricity rates in Linden will still see consumers there

File Photo: Lindeners protest in front of the Regional Democratic Council office earlier this month.

paying less than half what the rest of the country is currently paying, Government has insisted.
Explaining the increase yesterday, Government spokesman, Dr. Roger Luncheon, said that this year, the $3B subsidy for Linden was slashed by $1B which meant that tariffs would have to be increased, though still way below the level of the rest of the country.
The announcement of the hike and slashing of the subsidy has been met with protests by especially Lindeners. The hike was recently passed in Parliament during the 2012 National Budget deliberations.
According to Dr. Luncheon yesterday, the tariffs will go up but not close to what “others” are paying.

Don't put your racist views forward as something that I am supposed to indirectly accept. I was born in Linden and I am obviously pleased with any progress made by the place. But let's look at the news: East Indians have murdered more of their own this year than were murdered by any other race. And we are only in January.

T, do you not think that the reason the additional lights have been installed by the APNU/AFC is because the rest of the country will foot the bill?  Do you not think that this is payback from APNU/AFC for winning Region 10? Do you not think that Lindeners should pay for the full cost of electrcity just like the rest of the country?

He doesn't.  He just hears the Indo KKK screams every day.  "Blackman a kill ahbe".

You see when Indos kill Indos, blackman to blame.

When Indos rape Indos, blackman to blame.

When Indos pay blacks to kill Indos, blackman to blame.

When Indos commit suicide, blackman to blame.

In fact all "blackman" does in Guyana is live off "hard working" Indos.

This is the daily rant we see from the Indo KKK.

OK so why not have Guysuco workers refund the taxpayers for the BILLIONS of dollars that they have received in wages?

But for this bailout the sugar workers would be UNEMPLOYED, much as many in Linden are thanks to the PPP.

Jagdeo screams that Guysuco shouldn't be privatized.  So why did Guymine have to be privatized, with the resulting massive job losses.

Indians really think that they are precious and must be treated as favored children.

Then they wonder why they are so often seen as self serving and clannish!

This is the daily scream by the Indo KKK and I have NEVER seen you objecting to this.

If that statement is offensive to you then tell the Indo KKK to cease their bigotry.  This is the impression that they lead the rest of Guyana to believe.  Indians cowering in corners, jumping at every shadow for fear that some little black girl is going to beat them up.

Tbone, Knucklehead...

this would be like me saying that black people need light more than East Indians because as dark people, from the Dark Continent, Africans in Linded need light to see each other and they would not easily get robbed by another dark person.

You see my logic here Knucklehead. Stop posting your nonsense.

No the Indo KKK scream that blacks are lazy savages who live only to kill Indians. 

So T suggests that with lights they need have less fear that 12 year old black girls are going to beat them up.

If you say nothing while the Indo KKK makes Indians look like cowards then that is on YOU!

Foot what bill? Linden has been the 2nd largest contributor to the Guyanese economy after Georgetown. The Linden electricity supply grid is also not connected to the grid that GPL operates.

How?  I merely repeat the daily Indo KKK screams that we are cursed with seeing.  Endless drivel about "blackman a kill ahbe".  This replaced the previous anthem which was "ahbe pan tap, blackman time done".

I hear that the Indo Trini KKK are now mounting the same screams since Kamla got fired from her job as PM.

If I am reading this post correctly, and chronologically, the discussion took a turn for the worst with this statement by T. Condemning the "racist Indo KKK", a term you love to use to brand everyone here, is one thing, but I dont see you taking on the racial nonsense posted by T...this banna gets away with a lot of nonsense.

If Mr. T's comment is racist, it would be racist against blacks. 

GNI is seen as a semi anti black hate site, and has been so quoted even on forums catering to Bajans and others.  In fact several years ago the vast majority of black posters left, many expressing disgust at the Indo KKK racism which happens here/

Do you ever protest Indo KKK racism?  No you, VishM, Zed, and Kari seem to have difficulty in understanding why the few black posters remaining on GNI view the image of Afro Guyanese that people are allowed to peddle.

Now please indicate how pervasive is anti Indian racism on GNI?  Any jokes about Indian suicide here?  Any references to "coolie cocktail"?  Any jokes about Indians being so cheap that they will starve their kids to save $$$?  NO!

But the image of black violence, black crime, black uselessness, black laziness is peddled daily. 

Now finally you see that the result of this is the portrayal of the Indian as a weak coward you react.  But how do you react?  Do you condemn the Indo KKK who peddle the image of the Indo coward. No you respond to the non Indian who merely repeats this image.

Look, cariibny, leave me out of your foolish rants. You seem to think that GNI is the only forum for doing anything about racism or doing anything to help make things better in Guyana. Well, you have been ranting so long. Has it changed anything? has it helped people in Guyana? 

Your continual rant about the KKK is in itself racist and I am certain that you are smart enough to know it.  Same thing with you comment about "coolie cocktail" and about Indians being so cheap that they starve their children to save money. You are part of the problem and you delude yourself if you think you are doing something good. At least Mr. T does not hide his racism.

Regardless of how people want to frame it, the issue is still one where public lights were removed from one community and not another community is receiving  public light.

Mr. T. Getting senile too? Forgetting stuff you post? I do not have a problem with anyone criticizing the PPP, or for that matter, the present bunch of sick jokers who now govern Guyana. What I have a problem with is people who frame everything in a racist narrative and spew their garbage from afar with anonyminity. I try not to get involved in that kind of conversation and only got involved because Caribny mentioned me in his rant.

I have quite a bit of impact on GNI.  GNI is read by quite a few people, in fact way more than many here realize. Try googling anything political on Guyana, especially race, and see how often it comes upWhy do you think that Jagdeo used to pay PPP stooges to infest this site?

So clearly GNI also impacts the information which non Guyanese get about Guyana.

The fact that I respond to the Indo KKK, and expose people like you who REFUSE to deal with race, except when you attempt to attack me because I pose the issue of Indo racism, exposes those who read GNI that there is a narrative beyond that peddled by the Indo KKK.

Now I see that when I refer to racism shown by many posters here. The blacks are lazy, criminal, etc.  The narrative that blacks are responsible 100% for our ethnic tensions, I am called racist.

This is why I continue to post here, because were I not posting, it would be a very distorted, one sided and anti black narrative that would be peddled as a balanced analysis of Guyana.

 

BTW every response to me by you, Kari, VVP, and VishMahabir, all of you claiming to be moderate non racist Indians, indicates my thesis that Indians are either afraid to deal with Indian racist attitudes towards blacks, for fear ofr censure by other Indians, or they just don't care about what impact this has on Africans.

Every year at Babu John they screamed about black violence on Indians.  Their ENTIRE pitch the last election was about black violence on Indians.

Oh they use "PNC" as a code word, but every one in Guyana knows that from the mouths of Jagdeo PNC=blacks, except for the few who were PPP stooges.

 

You all cannot have your cake on eat it too.  Engage in racial paranoia aimed at demonizing Afro Guyanese, and then walking away from that.

In fact you even ASSERT that what is racist is when some one describes as racist the Indo supremacist rant which daily pours forth from the Indo KKK.

.  Same thing with you comment about "coolie cocktail" and about Indians being so cheap that they starve their children to save money. .

And of course you deliberately lie on this. Recall that I stated that this is what African racists say about Indians, but NONE of the non Indian racists make these claims.   You deliberately distort this and Mr. T's claim about lights in Linden in a pathetic attempt to disguise the fact that YOU CONDONE Indian racism by attempting to squelch any discussion of it.

Yet Indo KKK clowns frequently allude to "hard working Indians", black laziness, black criminality, black violence.  The ENTIRE history of Guyana is reduced to Africans brutalizing Indians.  Their ENTIRE narrative is about "blackman bad, Indian good, so blackman to blame and have to apologize."

The only Indians who have commented on this have been Django, TK, and Riffraff.  When these 3 people criticize African racism I listen because I know that they are quite capable of criticizing racism from where ever it comes from, inclusive of that from Indians.

Zed, Kari, VVP, and VishMahabir are hypocrites on the topic of racism in Guyana.

And please do NOT fool yourself that one can discuss Guyana without discussing the ethnic tensions between its two largest ethnic groups. The very socio economic backwardness of Guyana, and its corrupt and ineffective systems of local and national governance lie in these tensions.

NONE of the black posters on GNI have placed the exclusive blame on Indians.  ALL of us have admitted that Burnham was a ruthless African dictator, who was enabled by large segments of the African elite, and that his intent was to crush the PPP by brutalizing its support base.

Yet the Indo moderates not only refuse to see what we have said, but peddle a lie that we place exclusive blame on Indians.  THIS because they do NOT WANT, any discussion on the role of Indians, even as they state or imply that Africans are EXCLUSIVELY to blame.
