Uncle Ramesh Sees It Differently

Thursday, April 9, 2026

A pro-government perspective on the week’s events, brought to you by a man who has never once questioned a press release.

THE CASH GRANT APP IS WORKING FINE (FOR SOME DEFINITION OF FINE)

Look, 150,000 people have received or are in the process of receiving their $100,000 cash grant. That is a lot of people. Finance Minister Ashni Singh announced this himself, on Facebook, at night, which is the sign of a man who is dedicated. Yes, some people say the app is slow. Some people say the facial recognition rejected their fifteen-year-old ID photo. But Uncle Ramesh asks: have you considered that the app is simply very thorough? The government has promised the portal will remain open. Help desks are being established. Cheques are being printed for Region Nine residents who don’t have bank accounts. This is a comprehensive rollout. The people who are complaining have simply never been responsible for distributing money to a nation before and therefore lack perspective.

Uncle Ramesh Reports — Tuesday, April 7, 2026

Uncle Ramesh writes from Queens, New York, where he has lived since 1987 and has strong opinions about a country he visits every three years.

Good morning everyone, Uncle Ramesh here from Queens.

CARIFTA! Six medals! Four gold! A NEW RECORD in the Mixed 4x400m relay! Tianna Springer, Malachi Austin, Olivia Solomon — these young people are representing Guyana at the highest level of Caribbean athletics and Uncle Ramesh is sitting here in Queens with his chest out so far it nearly touching the window. Four gold at CARIFTA. That is not small thing. That is what investment in youth athletics looks like. Guyana has been building this programme and the results are here for everyone to see.

Uncle Ramesh Reports — Monday, April 6, 2026

Uncle Ramesh writes from Queens, New York, where he has lived since 1987 and has strong opinions about a country he visits every three years.

Hello everybody, good morning and God bless.

Well I calling from Queens this morning to tell all you naysayers that this government doing things, and if you can’t see it you need to clean your glasses.

First thing: the airstrip at Karasabai. One point five BILLION dollars, people. That is not small thing. That is Region Nine getting real infrastructure, real access, real development. When last any government build airstrip in the hinterland? Uncle Ramesh remembers the old days when you had to pray to reach them places. Now the President commissioning modern facilities and also setting up border patrol to protect the frontier. This is leadership. This is vision. Some people want to complain about everything but when your President commissioning airstrips in Region Nine, that is progress, full stop.

Uncle Ramesh – Friday, April 3, 2026

By Uncle Ramesh, steadfast PPP/C supporter, proud Guyanese, and man who is having a complicated Good Friday.

People, Uncle Ramesh going to be honest with you today. It is Good Friday. A day for reflection. And I have some reflecting to do.

First — the tariff. Thirty-eight percent. On Guyana. From the United States. That is a lot. Uncle Ramesh was not expecting that. The Ambassador was just here telling us the oil deal is fine and Exxon is great and everything is win-win. Now her boss put a 38% tariff on we exports. Uncle Ramesh notes the contradiction without further comment at this time.

Uncle Ramesh – Thursday, April 2, 2026

By Uncle Ramesh, loyal PPP/C supporter, road-safety enthusiast, and man who has never once owned a tinted vehicle.

People, today I feel vindicated. You know why? Because this government is SERIOUS.

The tint crackdown start. And I, Uncle Ramesh, have been saying for years that these dark-glass criminals hiding behind tinted windows needed to be dealt with. Now Minister Walrond say “don’t call me” and Traffic Chief Singh deploy the tint meters. EXCELLENT. This is what law and order looks like. If your car legal, you have nothing to fear. Simple as that.

Uncle Ramesh – Wednesday, April 1, 2026

By Uncle Ramesh, proud PPP/C supporter, retired civil servant, and man who has never once been wrong about anything.

People, I wake up this morning and I feel good. You know why? Because this government — MY government — is moving Guyana forward again.

First thing I see: the Digital Identity Card Act is now in force. Mark Phillips himself sign the Commencement Order. Two years in the making and now it real. You know what that means? Modernisation. Digital future. I know some people want to grumble about the Data Protection Act not being in force yet, but listen — you can’t rush everything at once. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Neither was Pradoville.

Uncle Ramesh's Take — Tuesday, March 31, 2026

Uncle Ramesh is a proud PPP/C supporter who sees the government’s hand in every good thing that happens in Guyana and an opposition conspiracy in everything else. He does not do nuance. He does do passion.

Good morning, good morning, GOOD MORNING.

918,000 barrels of oil per day. You read that? 918,000. In FEBRUARY. Let me say it again for the people in the back who are still sulking: nine hundred and eighteen THOUSAND barrels. Every. Single. Day.

Uncle Ramesh: De Brief Conveniently Forget Who Actually Building This Country

Uncle Ramesh Doodnauth, 67, retired civil servant, Brooklyn, NY. Back at the phone on Monday morning.

Bai, I barely finish me roti and me already have to defend me country from de Brief again.

First: de flooding. Yes, it flood. It always flood when it rain dat hard. You know what they doing about it? BUILDING. Roads, drainage infrastructure, whole new housing schemes. You cyah fix 200 years of Dutch drainage engineering in five years. But dem trying. De Brief prefer to make a joke. Uncle Ramesh prefer to look at de big picture.

Uncle Ramesh: De Brief Forget To Mention All De GOOD Tings Happening!

Uncle Ramesh Doodnauth, 67, retired civil servant, Brooklyn, NY. Calls home every Sunday.

Bai, me read de Brief dis morning and me nearly choke on me paratha.

Dem write de whole ting like Guyana is falling apart! Flooding? Every capital city in de WORLD flood when rain fall fuh 24 hours! You ever see New York after a storm? People kayaking on Flatbush Avenue! Dat is a WORLD PROBLEM, not a Guyana problem. But de Brief doh want to tell you dat.

Uncle Ramesh — Friday, March 27, 2026

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: Six Dialysis Centres, A Special Envoy, And Some People Just Won't Give Credit

🐒 UNCLE RAMESH’S TAKE 🐒
Your Uncle from Toronto Who Actually Reads the Chronicle
Wednesday, March 25, 2026

Hear nah. People does wake up every morning and complain about this government. They does say: “Ramesh, whuh happening? Whuh the government doing?” And I does tell them the same thing every time: open yuh eyes and look.

Look at the dialysis centres. Six new ones. Six! Because this government understands that when a man sick, he doesn’t need a speech — he needs a machine. That is what caring about people looks like. Not talk. Machine.

Uncle Ramesh's Take: Cash In Hand, Oil On The Rise, And Some People Just Can't Accept A Good Thing

🇬🇾 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's Corner — Wednesday, March 19, 2026

Uncle Ramesh reads only the Guyana Chronicle. He is a patriot. He has opinions.

Good morning, everybody! Uncle Ramesh here, fresh from de Chronicle, and let me tell you — today looking POSITIVE.

Oil reach US$100 a barrel! Uncle Ramesh sit down with he morning tea and nearly choke when he see dat. ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS. You know what dat mean? Revenue. Investment. Future. Some people saying dey not feeling it yet — but Uncle Ramesh does always say, good things take time. You ever plant a mango tree? You don’t get mango de same day.

🇬🇾 Uncle Ramesh Responds – Tuesday, February 17, 2026

Uncle Ramesh reads the Chronicle from Queens and sets the record straight on Energy Conference, telemedicine, airports, health campaign, and Hakeem Olajuwon’s investment in Guyana.

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

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 Responds: The Government Building, Not Destroying — Read the Chronicle, Not the Obituaries

Uncle Ramesh is a retired accountant from Berbice, now living in Queens, New York. He reads the papers himself — especially the Chronicle — and responds to the Brief’s coverage with his own perspective. He is unapologetically pro-government when the government deserves it.

Alright, alright. Everybody crying about Stabroek News like the whole country falling apart. You know what else happened this weekend? A US$120 million training college opened in Port Mourant. Thirty-five young Guyanese already working offshore. Certified. Employed. Earning real money.

Uncle Ramesh Take – Friday, February 13, 2026

A Pro-Government Perspective from Queens, NY 🗽🇬🇾

Nephew and Niece Dem,

Happy Friday from Queens! And before anybody start — yes, I read de news about Stabroek News closing. I getting to dat. But FIRST let me talk about what de Brief CONVENIENTLY buried under all de drama.

🏠 $150 BILLION FOR HOUSING! $150 BILLION!

Beta, Minister Croal announce ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS fuh housing in 2026. New housing schemes. Land acquisition. Utilities infrastructure. Regularisation of informal settlements.

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

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?

Uncle Ramesh Responds: 'ONE Point? That's PROGRESS, Beta!'

Uncle Ramesh from Queens celebrates the corruption index improvement, explains why 30 blacklisted contractors proves the government is WORKING, and has strong opinions about the Guyana flag at the Super Bowl.

Uncle Ramesh Take: Dey Giving de Man Medal and All-You Still Complaining?

Uncle Ramesh read de papers from Brooklyn dis morning and he got PLENTY to say.

Eh-eh! So de President gone Brazil, get de highest honour from Roraima state, talk about trade and food security and energy cooperation — and all-you STILL finding fault? De man building bridges — LITERAL bridges — between two countries and de opposition side chatting bout “we heard this before.”

You know what I hearing from Lethem side? People EXCITED. Brazilian business people coming over, Guyanese going across. Dat is REAL economic activity, not paper talk. When last time de opposition build a relationship with ANYBODY? Dey can’t even get along with deyself, much less a whole country.
