A new spinner in town
Move over Roger Luncheon, there’s a new ‘spinner’ in town and his name is Ashni Kumar Singh! Singh isn’t exactly ‘new’ but from 2007 to now, Guyana has watched this young bowler move from technocrat finance minister to versatile politician as wily as they come.
Optimism is not enough, Sir Ron
It’s nice of the one-time Guyanese broadcaster – frankly, one of the best in his time amongst a whole bunch of top of the line radio men and women……….

Corruption has become the hottest topic among the top brass of the Guyana Police Force these days………….
Spare us the rhetoric, Robert!
Now that the general elections are over and the political pitch is beginning to offer a more even bounce (far too even in the opinion of many) the PNCR’s Comrade Leader has come out to bat again, opting for a sort of 20/twenty style.

Open confession – so the saying goes – is good for the soul.
What to make of President Ramotar’s pronouncement
On the surface at least President Ramotar appears to have thrown a spanner into the political works by accusing APNU and the AFC of manipulating the general elections results at Linden, thus denying the PPP/C the few percentage points that they needed to take them into the parliamentary promised land.
RUSAL having a warm time at Kwakwani
A Kwakwani source has sent us a report that RUSAL’s Russian Managers are looking around for another location at which to entertain themselves.
Somebody forgot to tell the state paper?
It appears that someone completely forgot to tell the state-run newspaper that the day after the President makes a historic presentation to the National Assembly pledging to work together with the political opposition in a new-look Parliament is not the most appropriate day on which to unleash an editorial tirade against one of the political parties with which the government is seeking an accommodation to ensure that every bill that comes before the House is not attended by an outbreak of bloodletting.
The Minister of the Police
Minister of Home Affairs Clement James Rohee has upped and moved himself to Eve Leary and it appears that the move has created an outbreak of “the jitters” among the Police Force’s Top Brass.
They’re letting the Top Cop go
If you want to understand this Kafkaesque society of ours you have to learn to recognize and read the political tea leaves.
