Must Read: Some morons on the loose again in Guyana.
August 20, 2008
“Life in Guyana is a two-sided coin
While traveling along the East Bank of Demerara thoroughfare recently, I noticed men at work ‘sweeping’
the parapets in the vicinity of Providence.
Interestingly enough, after they would have heaped their rubbish — which was mostly soil — they proceeded to throw it into the trench which runs parallel to the roadway.
Mind you, this is the same trench — like many others — that hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent on to desilt so as to lessen the likelihood of flooding.
Music has been banned from public transportation because, as has been cited by the Minister of Home Affairs, the high decibels impair drivers’ concentration.
This in turn leads to poor judgment and consequent accidents. What about the ‘private’ vehicles? Are these drivers, too, not prone to the same effects loud music has on their ability to concentrate?
Aren’t the music sets in these vehicles as offensive as those in the public transport system, especially when they are belching out lewd tunes?”

As to garbage dumping, I don’t know what to say except some garbage bags might be nice but the government cannot afford it. Man! What the hell are they doing in that country? But this is Guyana, miles behind the competition. The problem with Guyana is that no one cares and why should they. The young are escaping and the old do when the opportunity arises and the government remains because, life is good in them parts. They get to live a quality driven life, traveling the world on the blue color tax dollars and justifying it as government related imitative.
As to the music, there was nothing else to do in the office of the minister one afternoon. So he said, lets see what I can do to make myself an even bigger moron. Maybe, I should make the roadways silent. No wait! Let just make public transportation silent, private vehicles can see the accident coming and avoid it but the operators of public transportation are incapable of doing so. Sometimes, I ask myself how these guys actually get elected into office. It’s the big fish in little pond syndrome, no! Way to go minister, you can add this initiative to your resume as an extra circular initiative for being the executive nimrod.
