By Uncle Ramesh, steadfast PPP/C supporter, proud Guyanese, and man who is having a complicated Good Friday.
People, Uncle Ramesh going to be honest with you today. It is Good Friday. A day for reflection. And I have some reflecting to do.
First — the tariff. Thirty-eight percent. On Guyana. From the United States. That is a lot. Uncle Ramesh was not expecting that. The Ambassador was just here telling us the oil deal is fine and Exxon is great and everything is win-win. Now her boss put a 38% tariff on we exports. Uncle Ramesh notes the contradiction without further comment at this time.

By Uncle Ramesh, loyal PPP/C supporter, road-safety enthusiast, and man who has never once owned a tinted vehicle.
People, today I feel vindicated. You know why? Because this government is SERIOUS.
The tint crackdown start. And I, Uncle Ramesh, have been saying for years that these dark-glass criminals hiding behind tinted windows needed to be dealt with. Now Minister Walrond say “don’t call me” and Traffic Chief Singh deploy the tint meters. EXCELLENT. This is what law and order looks like. If your car legal, you have nothing to fear. Simple as that.

By Uncle Ramesh, proud PPP/C supporter, retired civil servant, and man who has never once been wrong about anything.
People, I wake up this morning and I feel good. You know why? Because this government — MY government — is moving Guyana forward again.
First thing I see: the Digital Identity Card Act is now in force. Mark Phillips himself sign the Commencement Order. Two years in the making and now it real. You know what that means? Modernisation. Digital future. I know some people want to grumble about the Data Protection Act not being in force yet, but listen — you can’t rush everything at once. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Neither was Pradoville.

Uncle Ramesh is a proud PPP/C supporter who sees the government’s hand in every good thing that happens in Guyana and an opposition conspiracy in everything else. He does not do nuance. He does do passion.
Good morning, good morning, GOOD MORNING.

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?
