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 β and the Brief treating it like comedy instead of asking why the Opposition Leader has such contempt for the judicial process?

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.

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 is a proud member of the Guyanese diaspora who reads all four newspapers every morning and has strong opinions about everything. He is fictional. His opinions are his own.
Eh eh! Good morning, good morning! Uncle Ramesh here, fresh cup of bush tea in hand, Sunday papers spread out on de table like a feast. And what a feast it is!
First thing first β leh me address this Budget debate nonsense. The Opposition Leader get up in Parliament and say the budget “won’t lift the masses out of poverty.” Boy, this man talking like he ain’t see the $100,000 cash grant, the zero-interest loans, the school buildings going up left right and centre. A $298 million primary school going to St. Cuthbert’s Mission! You know how long dem children waiting for a proper school? But no β according to the opposition, nothing happening. Dem could be standing inside a brand new hospital and still say “where de development?”
