Defenders of elected dictatorship in Guyana become comical
Saturday, 06 February 2010

The adjectives, “comical”, “laughable”, “facetious” become applicable when one reads a paid official from the Office of the President writing this line in Thursday’s letter pages of the Kaieteur News; “ These pen pushers peddle a false battle cry, painting Guyana as an elected dictator and indeed the ad nauseam allegations of corruption, money laundering and narcotics connection.” This is coming from the pen of no other than Dr. Prem Misir, known propagandist, Chronicle columnist and lecturer to Kaieteur News and the Stabroek News on press conduct. Does this appalling aridity and unproductive propaganda need a reply?  No one takes these sycophantic notes of the paid propagandists of the Office of the President seriously. This explains why Misir and Randy Persaud hustle their way quickly to the front doors of the Kaieteur News and the Stabroek News to get their views across.

Saturday, 06 February 2010

- will bring in $100B at current price

 Sample Image

Miners say that they have set themselves a hefty target of 500,000 ounces of gold, a 60 per cent increase from last year, which at the current rate would bring Guyana revenues of $100B at the current high world prices. According to the Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association (GGDMA) yesterday, the projection is motivated by the outstanding performance of the industry last year and the expectation that in 2010 better recovery systems and greater productivity will ensure an even better year.
GGDMA’s statement comes at a time when the gold and diamond mining industry is set to face new measures from government.
