Democracy is still on trial in Guyana
AUGUST 24, 2011 | BY KNEWS | FILED UNDER LETTERS

Dear Editor,

Twenty years after Mikhail Gorbachev fell from power in a failed coup, all of the Soviet republics have swapped central planning for market economics. So too has Guyana, since 1989 under Hoyte’s ERP; but to what effect? This PPP Government has sustained this so-called market economy with a strong injection of authoritarianism shot through with corruption. The Berlin Wall may have fallen but for us democracy is still on trial in Guyana.

The world can learn some important lessons from Guyana; elections every five years is just not enough. We need to build some strong institutions that are independent of the Executive but this will never happen under a PPP Government since they are in love with Burnham’s constitution and the weak institutions we have in Guyana today. Guyana has now evolved into a full-fledged corrupt state that has a primary purpose of supporting the business buddies and ruling elites in their personal enrichment. Why do you think we can have a Commissioner of Police like Henry Greene still in place three years after his expiry date; he serves a purpose for the PPP. Everyone knows his role. I dare say, all of those NIS Inspectors who were allegedly kidnapped will definitely be giving serious consideration to the thought of how they can migrate away from these God forsaken rulers.

Doing your job in Guyana is just not an option anymore. Guyana has come from a culture and history of oppression; first the colonial rulers, then Burnham and now our Guyanese Stalin. As a people, we have spent too much time under oppression and this can be one of the explanations why our people have not found the sprit to fight more in 2011 as yet. The Alliance for Change (AFC) offers hope to these crushed people that within 120 days of getting into Government, we shall start the process of changing the constitution to truly give power to the people. The AFC shall take our case to the people in a referendum.

What we observe is a total crushing of the institutions of state and civil society. All that is left is traces of independent private business people, maybe a Yesu Persaud here and Robert Badal there and of course Chris Ram. However, there is a serious race in the private sector today by many to crawl over each other to surrender to Guyana’s Stalin. Even the influence of religion is under a clear and present danger. Gone are the days when the Catholic Church, Anglican Church, the Hindu Community under stallions like Sister Doreen Routie, Bishop Randolph George and Swami Aksharanandan can lead the nation from the platform of good governance and social justice for all. These people of the cloth too are subject to surgical persecution from the State, Henry VIII style.

Guyana has many laws and many organizations but what we do not have is enough people with the ethical strength like Edgar Heyliger to stand up to the ruling elite and in the process build national institutions. This rut started a long time ago but was mastered in the last decade. I can remember clearly the imposition of Norman Mclean on the GDF because of the rumblings from the professional officers against the fetching and stuffing of ballot boxes and the Walter Rodney connection by way of “Yam Vine” newsletter. The consequence of that imposition was a GDF that was a skeleton of its former self. The same can be said of the GRA, Bank of Guyana, UG, the Judiciary and all the other organization that should have been molded into National Institutions. Yet we choose not to learn.

To undo this mess where private businesses and rent-seeking officials think it is normal to exploit these weak organization to amass huge wealth, will take years. So let us be clear, the AFC is not promising honey and milk for all from Day 1. It would take years to find the Guyanese from all over the world to come back home to join those living in Guyana to rebuild, re-brand, re-orient and remold the nation. It will be hard work. Today this emergent oligarchy of business-political clans who were able to kidnap the state will pull out all stops to manipulate the elections to retain power by whatever means necessary.

We ask the Hinterland people, beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing as they peddle their lies to you with the clear objective of robbing you of your right to kick the PPP out of office. Look out carefully for which small party is fully loaded with cash in these elections and ask them, where they got the money from. The effect of these actions is corrosive since when a people think they are voting against the regime, they are actually be voting for the regime and the consequence of this is people will lose faith in the system of elections. The safest bet for all the people of Guyana is the AFC. We are playing no games, we have told the PNC in clear, unambiguous terms, No, we are not joining any coalition of convenience.

Despite these significant setbacks, the cause of sharing the economic pie more fairly among more of the people is not dead; the cause of reducing the gap between the haves and the have-nots is not dead; the cause of molding the nation with strong and independent institutions is not dead. The AFC is pushing ahead with its electoral efforts to sensitize the people to the socio-political and economic excess of the ruling cabal. We are going back to basics where our army of volunteers are meeting the people house by house, dam by dam, village by village; sensitizing them to the Guyanese prison we all live in today with the PPP controlling the keys.

We the people have two choices, vote for more of the same (PNC-APNU, PPP and TUF) and submit ourselves to the PPP jailers or forget about the jailer with his keys and just break the prison wall down by voting for change.

What we observe is a total crushing of the institutions of state and civil society. All that is left is traces of independent private business people, maybe a Yesu Persaud here and Robert Badal there and of course Chris Ram. However, there is a serious race in the private sector today by many to crawl over each other to surrender to Guyana’s Stalin. Even the influence of religion is under a clear and present danger. Gone are the days when the Catholic Church, Anglican Church, the Hindu Community under stallions like Sister Doreen Routie, Bishop Randolph George and Swami Aksharanandan can lead the nation from the platform of good governance and social justice for all. These people of the cloth too are subject to surgical persecution from the State, Henry VIII style.

Supa, do you know who is Henry VIII and what he did to the church?

Read chaps, you all must read and stop presenting to be smart people.

An AFC government will reduce VAT to 12%
By STABROEK STAFF | LETTERS | MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 2011

Dear Editor,

The Alliance For Change (AFC) would like to reiterate its position that the PPP’s VAT remains one of the principal burdens on the people. The PPP has made the VAT into their primary revenue source, and the outcome has been more wasteful spending and extravagance and a higher combination of income tax and VAT tax burden on the workers. Unfortunately, the economists of the PPP failed the nation by not informing the people that these higher rates of tax would increase losses in economic output. These higher taxes along with poor public policy are some of the principal reasons for the crowding out of private investment in Guyana, thus stifling the economic growth of the nation.

Why did the Jagdeo government never experience a growth rate of 7% or more to migrate Guyana from its perpetual state of overwhelming poverty for the masses? Increasing taxes reduces economic growth opportunities and this is exactly what the PPP did with the introduction of a cash-gouging VAT rate. The AFC is not against VAT, we are against the high tax rates.

In 2007, when the PPP experienced a windfall of $13 billion increase in tax revenue as a result of the introduction of VAT and its sister excise tax, they chose not to make the tax cash neutral by reducing the rate. They introduced the VAT with the promise of cash neutrality, but never delivered on their promise. This tax and spend policy, is an extremely irrational, self-defeating public policy that is just not sustainable in the long run, and it takes a leader with limited vision to pursue such a public policy.

The smarter thing to have done was to restore long-term fiscal integrity and push for the 7% economic growth that was experienced under Asgar Ally with a balanced combination of spending reductions, tax cuts and incentivization of the private sector to drive economic expansion. The AFC has made it absolutely clear that we will cut the size of the national budget and will offer the following tax reduction as outlined in our Action Plan to the workers so their pay checks can stretch further:

1. reduce VAT from 16% as it is under the PPP to 12% on the first day in office;

2. reduce the PAYE for workers from 33.3% as it is under the PPP to 25% in the first term;

3. increase the PAYE tax threshold from $40k as it is under the PPP to $50k in the first month in office.

In addition to this our presidential candidate Mr Ramjattan is about to announce that an AFC government would give a very substantial increase in salaries (actual percentage) to all public servants – soldiers, police, teachers, nurses, workers in government departments, cleaners, etc. But even if I am to discount the salary increases as proposed by Ramjattan and just focus on the other tax measures we have already publicly announced that we would introduce in office, the AFC’s tax measures are far superior for workers to what the PPP currently has on offer.

When I was in Guyana, I met a teacher who earns $51,853.00 and she confessed she was better paid than most Guyanese. I shall use her salary to show how under an AFC government she will still be paying 58% less taxes than under a PPP government, and this will generally be the story for all the other grades of workers – and we have not even included the Ramjattan proposed salary increase:



We estimate that each additional billion of revenue that the PPP collects in tax, it costs the local private economy at least $2 billion, comprising $1 billion in taxes and $1 billion in lost GDP. Most academics recommend the VAT, but at a lower rate.

Yours faithfully,
Sasenarine Singh

Economic services committee report adopted after heated debate

Posted By Stabroek staff On June 11, 2009 @ 5:10 am In Archives | 4 Comments

Following heated debate, the National Assembly on Thursday last adopted the Fourth Periodic Report of the Parliamentary Sectoral Committee on Economic Services (PSCES).


Robert Persaud
The report covered the period from January 2008 to March 2009 and the committee focused mainly on the Energy Sector (GPL) and the Agricultural Sector (GuySuCo).

The sitting was marked by a controversial presentation by AFC Chairman Khemraj Ramjattan which clearly upset members of the government. Ramjattan said the committee had found that the two sectors are in tremendous difficulty. He said that if such committees were to be effective, integrity of answers were needed. He then proceeded to blast Agriculture Minister Robert Persaud for telling “inexactitudes” when he appeared before the Sectoral Committee on 11 July, last year. Ramjattan suggested that Persaud had not been honest with the committee when he was asked about the business plan of GuySuCo. Quoting from the Hansard attached to the report, Ramjattan said when the minister was asked about the business plan for the sugar company, he suggested that the document had not yet been completed. However, Ramjattan said, recently when there was the disclosure that Guyana had lost some 6 million euros ($1.6 billion) from the European Union for funding for the sugar sector due to the late submission of the plan, the government subsequently said that the plan had been ready since March.


Khemraj Ramjattan
The AFC Chairman also said that when Persaud was questioned about GuySuCo, he did not present the full picture, since shortly afterwards there was a shake-up of the GuySuCo board. He said the committee was led to believe “all was rosy” with the company, yet afterwards there was a massive overhaul of GuySuCo’s board.

Agriculture Minister Robert Persaud, in his address, staunchly denied that he had been dishonest when he appeared before the PSCES. “I am disappointed that there is an attempt to suggest that information provided to the Economic Services Committee was far from the reality that existed at that time,” the minister declared.

Speaking specifically about the situation with GuySuCo, he said that at the time when he appeared before the PSCES, there were some realities that did not exist, such as the global financial crisis. Persaud further stated that the moves taken in relation to GuySuCo were done to improve the operational efficiency and management capacity of the sugar company. “This year GuySuCo will cut costs by $3 billion without compromising a single job,” the minister said.

On the business plan in relation to European Union funding, he said that at that time negotiations were taking place and it would have been wrong of him to present a definite answer. He also stated that during this period several business plans for the sugar company had been prepared.

The minister also lashed out at those who he said were “willing to compromise the interest of this country for their own narrow political gains.” He called on these persons to demonstrate greater patriotism.

Meanwhile, the PNCR-1G, through its shadow Finance Minister Winston Murray, indicated its willingness to adopt the report. Murray, however, said that the main opposition party still had concerns at it related to these two sectors.

He said that although there were issues of concern the committee worked well and was appreciative that the ministers in charge of these sectors and other officials willingly appeared before it. He, however, objected to the fact that when the PSCES wanted to contact a particular agency that fell under these sectors, it could not have done so without approaching the minister responsible for that agency. This, he said, “was suffocating”.

Chairmanship was rotated between PNCR-1G MP Anthony Vieira and Vice Chair PPP/C MP Gail Teixeira.

Too little has been done to fulfil the spirit of the Herdmanston Accord
By STABROEK STAFF | LETTERS | FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2011

Dear Editor,

Guyana will be at the crossroads again, when it will have its fifth elections since the restoration of democracy in 1992. After 24 years of questionable electoral practices orchestrated by some former political strongmen from the PNC, some of whom still remain politically active in the background in the APNU, we are now saddled with over a decade of even worse practices in governance under the PPP. An unholy alliance with drug kingpins and kleptocracy on a large scale are the order of the day under the PPP.

One would have though after the troubles prior to the Herdmanston Accord, the PPP would have understood the fact that we live in a multi-racial, multicultural society. One would have thought that the party would have led in the reformation of the constitution to offer more genuine representation for all the people at all levels in government. Save and except for Roger Luncheon and Robeson Benn, African-Guyanese are cut out from genuine leadership at the highest levels of the PPP government.

Thus when a government leader tries to deceive us that 29,000 people work for the state and the majority of them are African-Guyanese there is no truth in who has the power. It is all in the hands of some 70 men, 68 of whom are Indian-Guyanese closely connected to the PPP. Yes, the PPP can say that there are other African-Guyanese ministers and advisors, but do they have the ability to mould Guyana’s destiny? These are token African-Guyanese managers. This anomaly is exposed when one observes in Guyana how some of the business buddies have more administrative power than ministers, so that they can assault and hold captive NIS officials and the Minister of Public Service remains mum because she is powerless to voice an opinion.

But this reality is backed up with the fact that the PPP has created that invisible glass ceiling at the top that no African-Guyanese can penetrate, even Roger Luncheon. Of course, with their own practices, a similar glass ceiling also exists in the PNC; only in their case no Indian-Guyanese is eligible. But what is more significant is that the PPP as the government has the greatest responsibility to build the nation. However they continue to fail the people. All they have fostered is a complete disconnect by their leadership from the issues that trouble the working class world.

That is why the PPP leadership can be so obtuse in understanding the real burning developmental challenges that the working class faces. Unfortunately the PNC continues to marginalise itself as it misleads by trying to create the impression that only African-Guyanese are being marginalised when the reality on the ground is very different: the overwhelming majority of Guyanese, regardless of race, face the steel of the PPP save and except the few who are in the ruling cabal along with their business buddies.

The PPP has grown callous to the issues which bother the working class and their misplaced agendas and arrogance represent a dangerous precedent that if allowed to manifest themselves will create the conditions for poverty and punishment for a long time. That is why the Alliance for Change has the sacred duty of providing alternative leadership and moral support to the people in standing up to the fearmongers. People want change, but they continue to face the fear machinery in the PNC and the PPP. These two political parties never fail to drive fear into the people by playing the race card to the maximum at their bottom house meetings, clearly showing that we have done too little to fulfil the spirit of the Herdmanston Accord. Both sides are setting the stage for the outcome they want and it is up to the people including the extremists on both sides to ignore them this time around.

The PPP message of ‘do not split the vote‘ and the PNC message of ‘kith and kin‘ must be exposed at these elections by all those who are in favour of one people, one nation, with one destiny, by solidly voting for change. There was an expectation in 1998, when the electoral violence was called off, that with political moderation came stronger and more independent institutions to facilitate greater social cohesion. However, from their public policy over the last decade, the PPP has guaranteed that none of this envisioned ethnic harmony was going to be realised. Their focused obsession with kleptocracy kept them permanently distracted from nation building. Bodies like the Auditor General Department, the Ombudsman, the Police Complaints Authority, the Integrity Commission, the Ethnic Relations Commission, and the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament and the National Procurement Commission were deliberately stifled thus undermining social cohesion.

Unfortunately the PNC continued to function as an ethnic political party thus rendering themselves ineligible to demand the fulfilment of the terms and conditions of the Hermandston Accord. People want representation, but some remain scared of surrendering to the other side, but what we know for a fact is that the youths are not scared; they are ready to come off the fence and will penalise those political forces they see as exploiters of race in the elections season. Over the next 8-9 weeks, the AFC will be in the field hitting the dirt as we have been doing over the last 5 years, grounding and engaging the real people and hoping we can persuade them to stop fearing and start acting by coming off the fence and sweeping the PNC, now called APNU and the PPP out.

Let us all pick up our brooms and sweep them out.

Yours faithfully,
Sasenarine Singh

Could not the money spent on the Appreciation have been better used supporting those in orphanages and old people’s homes for a year?
By STABROEK STAFF | LETTERS | MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2011

Dear Editor,

So we have had it, the staged show to chaperone the champion of poverty on his way out, while at the same time making it clear that his successor will ensure that he remains very much in command if (and this is a big if), the Guyanese people make that historical mistake of ever voting for the PPP again.

These two Comrades demanded and got all hail and all the glory to Guyana’s head of state, so now what, days after? The people still live in a house with a kitchen which does not have enough food inside. Could these monies not have been spent on feeding those in orphanages and old people’s homes for a year? State resources were spent by the GDF, police and T&HD, yet we were told that the state did not fund this event. This is Burnhamism all over again where the leader is more important than the country.

This pappy show was extraordinary for a party that likes to marginalise, abuse and harass independent schools of thoughts and the independent media. But this show had greater significance than just to show off Jagdeo and Ramotar North Korean style. It was to confirm the succession strategy that was imposed on the party and provide a synopsis of what to expect if the PPP wins again. In a country that has villages like Topo in Albion or Plastic City or Sophia, wouldn’t all these taxpayer millions be better spent if they had bought grass cutters and distributed them to thousands of Guyanese in every village and street of Guyana and ask them to clean up Guyana for a stipend?

This would have provided many with an income and taught them to fish and live a life of dignity. But no, they ensure that the army of the unemployed grows. Thanks to the leaders, the PPP brand is now clearly imprinted in people’s minds as the jump and wine party, the rum and dance party. Why debate policy? We can jump and wine instead. No need to go to school and work any more.

As we are at it idolising the most omniscient leader, why don’t we do even one better? Let us change the name of the stadium and call it the Bharrat Jagdeo Stadium – and don’t forget the Bharrat Jagdeo Bridge across the Berbice River. And, of course, to drive Hammie Green wild, let us change the name of Georgetown and call it Jagdeotown and change the name of Sparendaam and call it Jagdeoville. Stop it, why all these changes? Let‘s make the mother of all name changes and just call Guyana Jagdeodesh.

Why don’t we build a Bharrat Jagdeo Square and make everything about that square an opportunity to pay homage to the great leader, with digital screens broadcasting his words of wisdom on how not to build a hydropower station and how to fool the Norwegians. Why don’t we display giant size pictures of him and have girls and boys bring flowers every day and plant gardens with rare flowers named after him. And let us not forget the speakers blaring out songs of adoration with verses like, “Long live the great leader, the most glorious of all.”

Then we will get the ever compliant Pro-Chancellor to write books and poems and more songs of praise of the exploits of the great leader. Let us extol his greatest asset – how to promise everything and deliver nothing and still have the NCN and Chronicle glorify him every day with taxpayers‘ money.

Thank the lord for granting us faith and the firm belief that right will overcome might. Yes, change is coming to Guyana.

Yours faithfully,
Sasenarine Singh

It is unfortunate that your skin is think thin.

When we called Burnham Odo, he made joke on the label. Who is the Kabaka?

Who is the DUCK?

If you can answer these question then we can have a revelation and interpretation for your benefit. It seem we aree talking about 2 different things.

I am amazed how you chaps are suck poor losers.

When you chaps called some people cack eye, no body raise an eye brow since we accept your categorisation and move on.

GROW UP. where is the mother's milk for Demerara Wave baby.

The source of the money for the Appreciation events is from .. ??

Lotto, casino, plus cronies lining up to carve out more national assets and other such laundering sources.

Letter writer makes unsubstantiated, libelous claims

September 20, 2011 | By KNews | Filed Under News

Yesterday’s edition of the Kaieteur News carried a letter captioned “All Hail the boy Emperor” which was written by one Sasenarine Singh.
The letter contained some unsubstantiated statements, which were inadvertently published.
The letter was edited but unfortunately the unedited version was mistakenly carried.
We have noticed over a period of time that letters from this writer are usually riddled with statements which sometimes are not fit for publication.
Some of the statements contained in the letter this time around were unsubstantiated, libelous and smacked of rank politicking designed to discredit officialdom.
In light of the fact that unsubstantiated statements in the letter might have offended some persons, this newspaper apologises for the inconvenience since it is not the policy of the Kaieteur News to intentionally libel or slander anyone.
We therefore retract the letter in its entirety.
