Uncle Ramesh Opinion

Uncle Ramesh is a retired accountant from Berbice, now living in Queens, New York. He reads only the Guyana Chronicle. He has opinions.


Listen, I read the Chronicle this morning and I feel good. I feel GOOD.

Now everybody vex because the government take over twenty-two streets in Georgetown. Take over? TAKE OVER? You mean RESCUE. You ever drive down Robb Street? You ever see what City Hall does with a pothole? They put a cone next to it and leave it for six months. Now the Ministry of Public Works has those streets and people acting like is a coup d’état. The same people who complain the roads bad are now complaining that somebody is going to fix the roads. Make it make sense.

🇬🇾 UNCLE RAMESH’S TAKE 🇬🇾
Your Uncle from Toronto Who Actually Reads the Chronicle
Tuesday, March 24, 2026


Greetings from Toronto, where the snow is finally deciding to leave us in peace, and where I spent this morning reading the Guyana Chronicle with a very large cup of tea and a growing sense of national pride.

Yes, pride. I know some people in this family — certain cousins who shall remain nameless — prefer to read the Kaieteur News and find doom in everything. But today, Ramesh is going to tell you what is actually happening in Guyana, which is: a lot of good things.

Uncle Ramesh Responds: Mortgages, Nurses, and the Brief's Selective Memory

Uncle Ramesh Opinion Response

Uncle Ramesh is a retired accountant from Berbice, now living in Queens, New York. He reads the papers — especially the Chronicle — and provides his perspective.


Monday morning and the Brief leading with Azruddin showing up late. That’s the headline? A man who is US-indicted, facing extradition, and can’t be bothered to arrive on time to his own hearing — and the Brief treating it like comedy instead of asking why the Opposition Leader has such contempt for the judicial process?

Uncle Ramesh Says: 'SOCU Doing Exactly What Law Enforcement Supposed To Do'

Uncle Ramesh Opinion Response

Alright, alright, alright. Leh me understand this properly.

A man who is sanctioned by the United States Treasury. A man who is indicted by a federal grand jury in Miami on 11 counts. A man whose family is accused of evading US$50 million in gold export taxes. A man who is literally facing extradition proceedings in Georgetown court right now.

And when SOCU searches his premises based on credible intelligence… that is political victimisation?
