OPINION: The Fourth Estate

By Stan Cameron AFTER reading of and listening to numerous reports on the treatment meted out to journalists by some notable politicians and their groups of sycophantic followers, as well as the underground intellectual authors, I sincerely believe that with my 30-plus-year experience in this noble profession, it is incumbent upon me to remind those politicians of what is written ...

OPINION: We must go beyond apologies and condemnations, all must rise

by GHK Lall I note that PNC streetfighter, Ms. Carol Joseph, has issued an apology to Chronicle Reporter, Ms. Tamica Garnett.  Though the apology was of the conditioned variety (sort of sort of….), I applaud the development, especially the immediacy of it.  Ms. Joseph lost her head, but quickly found her manners, tongue, the necessary humility.  I note also that ...

OPINION: The saga of Mr. Shell Mohamed

by GHK Lall Recent media developments emphasized that Mr. Nazar ‘Shell’ Mohamed is taking the fight to new lengths to establish the reputation that he believes is rightly due to him.  First, Mr. Mohamed recruited the firm of a former Assistant Director of the America’s FBI to do some groundwork with the sole objective of banishing longstanding and ongoing “allegations” ...

OPINION: GRA, IHS Markit, Exxon, and Guyana: what is really going on with this audit?

By GHK Lall Guyana has serious money troubles.  As I discern matters, there are money troubles with Exxon (terms and conditions of the contract); money troubles with the PPP Government (borrowing and spending); and now money troubles with the British-based IHS Markit (IHSM) audit people (doing, responding, and moving along).  All of this is evident in the back and forth ...

OPINION: Tacuma Ogunseye – raising the bar still higher

By GHK Lall Tacuma Ogunseye just applied some more heat to the controversies surrounding his words of March 9th delivered in Buxton.  He seemingly keeps stoking the fire, raising the temperature, using himself as the rocket fuel.  It does not take much of himself, such an accelerant he is now.  The brother in the WPA has made his position clear: ...

OPINION: America gets energy security; American companies get contract sanctity; so, what do Guyanese get?

By GHK Lall This is real life and in Guyana.  It is not Mr. Smith, a la the quintessential All-American, boy next door, Jimmy Stewart, going to Washington as a freshman senator.  It is Congressman Jason Smith, he of the chair of the crucial energy committee, coming to Georgetown.  Not tony Georgetown, Washington, DC; but waterlogged, mosquito-infested, corruption-plagued, Georgetown, Guyana.  ...

VIEWPOINT: Time for Leapfrog Appeals to Caribbean Court of Justice

by Attorney-at-Law Brenden Glasford In 2018 as a result of the no confidence motion, matters of great legal and political significance were initiated. I wish to talk about the ripple effects in the legal realm caused by the court matters filed in the wake of the no confidence motion. Litigation relating to the events which took place in Parliament on ...

OPINION: Foreign entities are watching, could move to provide funding

by GHK Lall I am appalled about the direction that the PPP Government cherishes.  It is clearly bent on pursuing certain dogged visions, regardless of who says what, the alarming appearance of its actions.  I do the government a favor which, coming from me, would be received in the poorest grace.  I persist. When the President and others practice going ...
