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 — 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 — according to the opposition, nothing happening. Dem could be standing inside a brand new hospital and still say “where de development?”

Uncle Ramesh reads the Chronicle and can’t believe the opposition still complaining while the government delivering 53,000 house lots, 9 million carbon credits, and a five-year sugar plan. Plus: Panama opening an embassy, Lady Jags scoring 14 goals, and Minister Browne put Dawn Hastings in she place.

Uncle Ramesh reads the papers independently and finds plenty to celebrate: Budget 2026’s massive investments, a fancy new Georgetown hotel, record tourism numbers, and the UK rolling out the red carpet for Guyana. The opposition? Still complaining.
