For all the bluff and bluster about the "great" performance of the gold industry, we continue to fall short. Gold is selling at a whopping USD$5000+ per oz, but only in Guyana are we seeing negative returns. Something is fundamentally wrong. demerarawaves.com/2026/01/27/guy…

Sincerest sympathy to the relatives of Bishop Findlay. Our encounters were always good and uplifting. facebook.com/share/1D5KN27K…

I won't dispute Speaker Nadir's decision without knowing all the facts. However, what I know is that from time immemorial, the press has been allowed to be physically present and to report on the people's business unfolding in the National Assembly. Hope this is resolved soon.

One of the world's most celebrated leaders was once a Comedian. We need to be careful when castigating people's careers and professions. bbc.com/news/world-eur…

The Mining Syndicates that Hon. Simona Broomes birthed was meant to do just what is being proposed now - lands to small miners. The syndicates were unfortunately dismantled. We have come full circle. facebook.com/share/187CXk8t…

I applaud the appointment of Sir Ron Sanders as UG's 11th Chancellor. A perfect choice in every respect. facebook.com/share/1DbFqke6…

I think even Caucasians are aghast and embarrassed to know this is how the Guyana Police Force sees itself - especially on the anniversary of Republic Day. The day Guyana formally took off the last vestiges of colonialism. facebook.com/share/p/1aGohk…

I hope we can have a cessation of all hostilities and a return to the 'rules-based' order that has kept the world, and especially Guyana, steady and secure since WWII. Condemning one country's ill-advised actions alone is not the way to go.

This call for dialogue by the President is a much more appropriate statement from Guyana than the one of a few days ago that simply condemned Iran. stabroeknews.com/2026/03/03/new…

Edgar Heyliger was an institution. I rarely saw him smile but knew there was a humble, decent, and virtuous man underneath that persona. Men of his era were stoic, sturdy, and strong. R.I.P. demerarawaves.com/2026/03/07/fir…

In a highly literate society 11 step registration process is a breeze. A commendable step, but shuddering to think of the thousands can't do this. Also, exploitation will come from those pretending that they know how to. Opportunity costs will be very high.

I have to support the Bar Council's condemnation of young Ali's unfortunate post on the death of the Ministry of Home Affairs' staffer. It was most unbecoming. facebook.com/share/17Q62a75…

The US and Iran have reached a culmination point. Best to let diplomacy come to the fore again and defuse things further. We all have to support the talks.

Is Guyana's 60th Independence Anniversary ogo deliberately designed to mimic the flag of India, or is this some AI prank? facebook.com/share/p/181Pnv…

The war is technically over. US will settle for Iran's terms- 1. Cessation of attacks. 2. Strait of Hormuz remains vested in Iran. Sovereignty will be absolute and tolls imposed. 3. Nuclear programme to continue *without* development to nuclear weapons. 4. Vance to be fall-guy
