Sunday Brief: Georgetown Flood, Karpowership Extension & The Streets That Used To Be Ours

Sunday, March 29, 2026 | Guyana Daily Brief

Georgetown Goes Underwater (Again)

Almost 24 hours of continuous heavy rain on Saturday left Georgetown streets severely flooded, with citizens reporting health concerns and general inconvenience across multiple communities. Minister Manickchand toured affected areas on the East Bank. The drains did not tour themselves, but we appreciate the effort.

The Powerships Are Not Going Anywhere

Guyana is set to extend its contract with Karpowership — the Turkish company renting two powerships to the country at a daily rate — because the Wales Gas-to-Energy project is delayed. Again. The AFC has been sounding alarm about the ballooning cost of the Wales project and the government’s continued silence on how much it has actually cost so far. GPL launched a “Solar Express Lane” this week to help customers integrate solar faster. One lane going in, one lane going further into Karpowership’s pocket.

NOEM LANDS IN GUYANA. NO ONE KNOWS WHY.

Kristi Noem — fired as US Secretary of Homeland Security, dusted off, renamed “Special Envoy” — touched down in Guyana this week as part of something called the “Shield of the Americas.” The visit involves meetings with energy companies and conversations about security cooperation, which is Washington-speak for we want to keep an eye on your oil and make sure China doesn’t get any. President Ali confirmed that US-Guyana relations remain strong. Nobody confirmed that Kristi knows where Guyana is on a map.

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.
