OPINION: One Mocha today, many Mochas in aggregate, then what?

by GHK Lall Huge sections of the population watched, read, listened, and absorbed what has unfolded in Mocha.  Today, I make no point about passions, prejudices, or politics.  I am thinking of two things; one is business oriented, while the other has to be the worst issue tabled at this time; I raise with trepidation, with few caring.  I take ...

OPINION: The state of the State

by GHK Lall Because of the time of year, I do my best to be about peace and goodwill to all men.  Though many may find this hard to swallow, even at my sharpest, there are those two strains embedded.  Indeed, it is despite how things are, the way men with power have transformed for the worse, and how the ...

Frequently, I am ready to say all Guyanese, so prevalent, so every day, are the departures from the rules, dismissals of them, and making ...

OPINION: COP27 – a crime against humanity, a leadership vice

by GHK Lall I would sum up COP27 in two words. Promises, promises, promises. And dud, dud, dud. Most of those 200 plus should have done the world a favor, and stayed home. Nothing material comes out of these talkfests, so why have them? I give Gaston Browne of Antigua and Barbuda, and Barbados’s Mia Mottley a pass for sheer ...
