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.

And Exxon building another ship — number eight! EIGHT ships pumping oil for Guyana! You know what that means? More revenue. More taxes. More money in the Treasury. People asking “who gave approval” — the same people who approved the first seven projects, that is who. This government knows what it doing. While the opposition is looking for their car and their security detail, the PPP is building an oil empire.

Speaking of which — the cash grant is moving into phase two and Finance Minister Singh already answered the question about bank accounts. If you don’t have a bank account, they will find a way to get you your money. This is a government that finds solutions. Not problems. Solutions.

Kristi Noem was at State House this week. The United States Special Envoy, coming to sit down with President Ali. You think she flying all the way to Georgetown to talk to a weak government? She coming because Guyana is important now. Guyana is on the map. Remember when nobody knew where Guyana was? Now the Americans sending envoys.

And the Building Expo 2026 — housing, infrastructure, climate-resilient construction. This is what a developing nation looks like when it developing properly.

I only have one complaint this week, and it is about the minibuses on the East Bank. But that is not the government. That is the minibus drivers. Somebody else’s problem.

Everything else? On track.
