Why all the anti-Iran hysteria?
Dear Editor, Since the visit of President Jagdeo to Tehran, all sorts of unfounded accusations, baseless speculations and superfluous insinuations, most expressing anti-Iran hysteria, have appeared in the Guyanese media condemning the visit. Some interpreted the presence of President Jagdeo in Iran as an anti-America move and indicative of a choice between former U.S. President [...]
Defenders of elected dictatorship in Guyana become comical
The adjectives, “comical”, “laughable”, “facetious” become applicable when one reads a paid official from the Office of the President writing this line in Thursday’s letter pages of the Kaieteur News; “ These pen pushers peddle a false battle cry, painting Guyana as an elected dictator and indeed the ad nauseam allegations of corruption, money laundering [...]
City Treasurer’s office runs a non-system

Misleading statements about gold declaration
Dear Editor, Mr Mac Mahase’s letter which appeared in last Sunday’s (January 31) Kaieteur News, about declaration to the Gold Board, is very misleading to say the least. Without investigating the facts for himself he has joined others who perhaps have their own personal or political reasons in peddling this lie. If you were to [...]
The human development dilemma
The fact that 80 per cent of our skilled people are migrating certainly paints a gloomy picture for the future. It means that this country is getting less for its investment in human development; training people is a very costly exercise.
