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 ...

By GHK Lall Guyanese stirred from their slumber recently. It had to do with political excitement. What else could it be, when nothing but the hysteria and ecstasy of elections can drive Guyanese to a state of frenzy? To top it all off, the excitement was not over national elections, it was about LGE. No! LGE is not one of ...
Read More »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” ...

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 ...

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: ...

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. ...
Read More »OPINION: Tacuma Ogunseye is wrong; Opposition forces must overcome the ordinary, be wiser
by GHK Lall This is my position: Tacuma Ogunseye went too far. He should know that without any objection from a nobody like me. What he said, insinuated, or tabled distracted from his call. I disagree with him, and that call that encircles the Joint Services, a huge section of it, cannot be condoned, leaving him on the carpet. I ...

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 ...

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 ...
