🇬🇾 UNCLE RAMESH RESPONDS

From: Ramesh Persaud, Queens, New York To: The Ungrateful Nation and Its Complainers

Aright, aright, aright! Leh me put down me cup of Demerara Gold tea and address some of dese stories because de Brief man does give you de news but he don’t give you de CONTEXT. And context is everything!

💰 BUDGET 2026: THE GREATEST BUDGET IN GUYANA HISTORY

De Brief talking bout “big money, big arguments” like is some kinda debate. DEBATE WHAT? $1.558 TRILLION! Dat is HISTORY! Which country in de Caribbean can say dat? Which country in SOUTH AMERICA even moving like Guyana right now?

President Ali HIMSELF explained dat dis budget absorbing HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS in inflationary pressure. You know what dat means? It means while people in Trinidad paying through dey nose and Jamaica struggling with IMF, YOUR government taking de hit SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO.

De $100,000 cash grant for every citizen 18 and over? $3 million zero-interest loans for small businesses? Housing mortgage relief putting TENS OF BILLIONS back in people pockets? But de opposition go find something to complain about. Dey could win a million dollars in de lotto and complain about de tax.

🇬🇧 UK DEPUTY PM CAME TO GUYANA — NOT DE OTHER WAY AROUND

Let me say dat again for de people in de back: DE UK DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER came to US. David Lammy come HERE and signed on to OUR biodiversity alliance. He said he PROUD.

You know how many countries in de world de UK Deputy PM visiting? And he choose GUYANA? Dat is because President Ali building REAL international relationships. Dis ain’t just handshake diplomacy — dis is UK saying “we want to partner with Guyana on CLIMATE, on BIODIVERSITY, on REAL THINGS.”

When PNC was in power, who was coming? NOBODY. De phone wasn’t even ringing.

🛢️ EXXONMOBIL PRODUCING 875,000 BARRELS A DAY!

De Brief bury dis in de Venezuela story but let me HIGHLIGHT it: ExxonMobil CEO himself said dey producing 875,000 barrels per day. FOUR FPSOs running 100,000 barrels ABOVE investment basis.

You hear dat? ABOVE projection. Every single project AHEAD of schedule, ABOVE production targets. Dat is because Guyana stable. Guyana reliable. Guyana got a GOVERNMENT dat know how to manage relationships and create an environment where investors THRIVE.

And now Exxon looking to explore more of de Stabroek Block. MORE discoveries. MORE production. MORE revenue for Guyana. De Venezuelans can’t threaten nobody now, and de whole world watching Guyana shine.

🇧🇩 BANGLADESH WANTS IN — BECAUSE GUYANA HOT!

Bangladesh opening an embassy here! You know WHY? Because we growing at FIFTY PERCENT GDP! De whole world beating a path to Georgetown because of what THIS government built.

Me neighbor in Queens — Trinidadian fella — he asking me questions now. “Ramesh, how I could invest in Guyana?” I tell him: “You shoulda been asking dat five years ago, partner. But come, come — plenty room still.”

🏥 NEUROSPINE SERVICES: $1 BILLION IN HEALTHCARE

Almost ONE BILLION DOLLARS in neurological healthcare investment! Before PPP, if yuh had a spine problem in Guyana, yuh best option was to pray and drink bush tea. Now we getting WORLD-CLASS neurology RIGHT HERE.

Dis is what development look like. Not promise. Not talk. ACTUAL facilities. ACTUAL investment. ACTUAL specialists coming to serve de people.

And GO-Invest facilitated it! De same GO-Invest dat de opposition used to mock. Working. Delivering. Results.

🌾 EUROPEAN UNION PARTNERING ON AGRO-PROCESSING

Wageningen University — NUMBER ONE agricultural research institution in de WORLD — wants to train Guyanese youth in food technology! De EU sending THREE more business missions in 2026!

De Dutch scientist himself saying Guyana got “huge potential” for European markets. Cacao, avocado, banana — he listing OUR products like he reading a shopping list of GOLD.

Dis is de breadbasket vision. Dis is what President Ali been talking about. And now EUROPE saying “yes, we want in.”

🏟️ BAYROCK STADIUM AND MASHRAMANI — LINDEN GETTING LOVE

De Brief mention Bayrock Stadium opening in Linden today. Let me add: dis is part of de MASSIVE infrastructure investment dis government making in Region 10. New stadium. New roads. New opportunities.

And Mashramani jamboree in Linden today! De whole country celebrating. Republic Day is about ALL of Guyana — not just Georgetown. And dis government making sure Linden feel dat love.

WHAT DE BRIEF MISSED

Minister Rodrigues: “We Remove Burdens, Not Benefits” — Tourism Minister Susan Rodrigues made clear dat government focused on removing bureaucratic obstacles for businesses while keeping benefits flowing to ordinary people. Dat is de PPP philosophy in one sentence!

Finance Minister on Late-Mover Advantage — Dr. Ashni Singh highlighted dat Guyana’s position as a late entrant in oil and gas is actually an ADVANTAGE because we learning from everybody else’s mistakes. Smart man. Smart strategy. Smart government.

Roraima Airways Cuts Hinterland Fares by 7% — Following rehabilitation of hinterland airstrips, Roraima Airways immediately dropped prices. Dat is private sector responding to government infrastructure investment. Dat is how economics WORKS.

China-Guyana Health Partnership Expanding — New therapies coming, plans to address obesity. International partnerships MULTIPLYING under dis government.

🗣️ UNCLE RAMESH’S FINAL WORD

January 2026 was a MONTH. Budget 2026 presented. UK Deputy PM visited. ExxonMobil breaking records. Bangladesh opening embassy. European Union sending business missions. Neurological healthcare investment. Stadium openings. Hinterland development.

And what de opposition doing? Complaining. Fighting over GECOM seats. Arguing about who should be Opposition Leader.

De government GOVERNING. De opposition GRUMBLING.

February coming with more Mashramani celebrations, more development, more progress. And Uncle Ramesh gon be right here, cup of tea in hand, making sure you know de TRUTH.

ONE GUYANA. ONE VISION. ONE PPP. 🇬🇾
