President Bharrat Jagdeo and Cabinet members will today partake in a “pork buffet” at the New Thriving Restaurant even as the Ministry of Agriculture assures the public that the country’s pig industry is free from swine flu.
According to a press release the World Health Organisation has said that Influenza A H1N1 (swine flu) is not a food or animal health issue but is transmitted from human to human. Local health and agriculture officials have also confirmed that there is no evidence or reports of any infections in Guyana.
The release said too the pig industry has had a decline in sales over the last several months but Minster Robert Persaud has said the Guyana’s pork is safe. He said while the health ministry continues to monitor the spread of the influenza consumers are advised “that there is no risk when consuming pork or any other livestock product in Guyana.” The minister also said the agriculture and health ministries are collaborating on a national surveillance programme to ensure that the animal health system remains intact and in a state of alert. The buffet will be held from 6.30pm to 7.30pm.
I thought this man was a Hindu and pork was outside the dietary norms for this religious sect. From my nom de plume you can tell I love Miss Piggy and Master Willy. Pork is good.
Don’t they already have a pork buffet with the lotto funds?
who said Guyana has swine flu? no one stopped eating pork.
They should invite the opposition to share a meal
Justice- Enlighten yourself before you make this crazy statement. Eating pork has nothing to do with swine flu. Google swine flu and read.
Oww SN, why yall so wicked. Let the people enjoy their free food nah…BORAPORK…ah hear you’re going to be a part of this esteemed gathering
Romulus: BORAPORK is good and ready to be eaten at anytime. Unfortunately they have have only set aside one hour for this activity.
“The release said too the pig industry has had a decline in sales over the last several months but Minster Robert Persaud has said Guyana’s pork is safe.”
To recover loss sales we should send more of our pork to Barbados. This would send Bajans wild and would be a change from fish that flies.
BORA-, Pork is MAJOR part of the Bajan diet.
Why you don’t teach your fellow Guyanese the difference between swine flu and pork and stop kissing up to Barbados all the time.
No wonder dem minister yah de pon stupidness, let them try deh wid them arnold, i ent touching dat ting, glad i’m a vegetarian, no swine fuh de i, i strictly roots.

Lol, i ire man, you have some fuh me an yu, it’s always fun win i come on this site with my people.
Lil pork never hurt anyone, Amen-ra. I would not give up my pork for anything. In Guyana you are more likely to die from being hit by a minibus that any pork related disease.
Really? you can’t be serious Mr Jagdeo. What will Minista Sheik Baksh, and Minista Irfan Ally will have? they are muslims, aren’t they? This little Piggy went to market , this little piggy stayed at home, this little piggy had roast pig…
sweetgeorgia peach
Yep. Thats it while presi and the cabinet stuff themselves with free food, our brothers and sisters in Trini and Bar are living in fear because they dont know when their houses would be raided and they be deported
But Bajans love pork bad, so there’s enough for the Guyanese who come too :-D
I hope that they pay New Thriving for the meal !!
This is cannibalism
Is there a provisional date for swearing in the new Government?
This is more hogging on the high life rather than a pig fever PR stunt. Next it is going to be a Chicken fiesta for cabinet because of the bird flu and Beef bacchanal because of the mad cow or foot and mouth disease.
Talking about foot and mouth, I am certain some of these people have an accute attack of it because of the amount of times they put their feet are in their mouths.
Pig out pon poor people for tomorrow they will continue to grovel for the crumbs that fall off the table.
I say let them choke and gag
