BY AUBREY NORTON Guyana can achieve high levels of Covid 19 vaccination without having to resort to repression of our people and violating their human rights. Recent measures announced by the regime will be counter productive. It is hoped that there is a genuine desire to defeat the pandemic. Unfortunately, recent decisions of the regime…
By Aubrey C. Norton It must be the joke of the century for the installed Minister of Education to be advocating a $19,000 ( under US $100) payout for every child in public schools, since this programme is ill conceived and will not improve the lives of the children, parents or teachers or increase their…

These terminations will impact the lives of far more than 170 persons and exemplifies the duplicity of policies that are applied to different constituencies of our society. For demonstrative purposes, I will juxtapose the treatment of the GUYSUCO workers to that of the GWI…
