With the CLICO fiasco now firmly in the public spotlight, the issue of blogging has become very popular and controversial. By now most persons are aware of the two flawed entries that Living Guyana posted on their blog which subsequently led to public condemnation and accusations of mischief leveled against them. While we do not condone the manner in which the report was published nor condemn the accusations leveled against them, a valued question must be asked.
Was Living Guyana targeted because of their anti-government stance? Our reason for asking that is quite simple (we're a bunch of simpletons over here at Bitch Please), Living Guyana AND Evening News carried this report, BOTH of them subsequently admitted an inaccurate report, apologized and withdrew the comments but yet ONLY Living Guyana has been singled out for criticisms and accusations and sanctions. Why was the Evening News let off so lightly, especially considering that some might say that the news broadcast would reach a wider audience than the blog in question? Who disagrees?
Opinions over here are varied but the general consensus is that the GBTI fiasco finally gave the government, Jagdeo in particular something solid to go after Living Guyana for and they made the most of that opportunity. Sad, not surprising, but true...

The Frequent Flyer is off again
This time our most notorious airline user has whisked himself off to the US. For a small third world country our president sure does tour a lot.
I'm not sure but I'm of the opinion that Jagdeo might be the world's most traveled head of state. The thing though, is that his trips hardly ever brings any direct benefit to us, which begs to wonder if the taxpayers money cannot be better spent...then again, it's the PPP government we're talking about, they lack economic wisdom among other things.

Double Standards coming from a budding dictatorship
I tell ya, with each passing day this government does things that does nothing to help their perception in the eyes of the general public. As I write this I wonder if I can also be classified as part of the new opposition, or if the police will be investigating me sometime soon. It's for that reason I don't report anything, I just speak my mind. Freedom of expression I think is what they call it, or was it Freedom of Speech, either way I think I'm constitutionally covered, but with this government you are never too sure.
All across the world countries and individuals are facing the worst financial crisis in decades and there have been numerous discussions about the crisis, accusations leveled, suggestions offered, criticisms given. The point is, people have been freely talking about the crisis and no one has been censored for their views. Now here we are in Guyana and the signs that democracy is fading is once again showing. This time the government has ordered CNS 6 to cancel a scheduled broadcast of a program discussing the CLICO debacle. It was reported that the television station was allegedly threatened with a lawsuit and another suspension of his license. Now tell me, are these not signs that we are living in a dictatorship? When the government officials head to NCN/GINA and spit out those polished nonsense to the Guyanese public no one tells them anything. The country we're living in I guess...

Quoting Bharrat....this man is really full of nonsense.
I'm gonna quote the president again, this time taken from Stabroek News at the 12th death anniversary ceremony of Cheddi Jagan.
Speaking about reporters her said "some do that because of lack of understanding or to make the government look bad. They are the new opposition"
Well then, somebody's got to do it! It's not like the opposition is doing much. And by the way, have you noticed that once a reporter writes something bad about the government then they are automatically branded 'opposition'?
He then carried on by saying this “There are many good reporters so I don’t want them to say I criticize all the reporters. But some of them are like that and some papers are like that.”
I'm sure the many good reporters and the good paper are those that report for NCN, Times, Chronicle, Mirror and all the other government propaganda machines. Yes Bharrat, reporters are only good when they are the governments' lap dogs right? I really don't know why people are not that appreciative of the independent newspapers in this land.
Then the asshole said "I get so frustrated sometimes at press conferences; I guess it is the ignorance that comes out. What I am frustrated about is that these are the people who have to educate the people…"
What the fuck is his problem? if you want to talk about incompetence, start with your damn fucked up cabinet. You would not hear any decent president anywhere in the world speaking like this. Can you imagine Obama speaking this way, heck no! and Obama is the man Jagdeo wanted to campaign for, I'm not totally certain but I'm pretty sure that Obama would have vehemently refused him. Jagdeo is a liability anywhere he goes.
The reporter's words "He also told the gathering - which was not as large as in previous years"
ahhhhhhhh what can I say other than people are finally realizing that the man they are turning out to remember isn't worth remembering anymore and the party that he founded is not the same party that exists anymore.

Guyana Chronicle: What a big fat lie...
Now now now, who are these idiots trying to fool with this blatant, brazen front page lie?? Shouldn't that header read: GUYANA'S MOST FREELY CIRCULATED NEWSPAPER? because the majority of buyers of this particular newspaper are those Government ministries who force it upon the staff.
If they're already lying on the front page, one can just imagine what is contained on the insides of the pages that follow.
Anyways give them a little credit for at least informing the public up front that it's a paper full of lies.

NCN is rich rich rich…
With the recent 70 million budget allocation by the government to NCN, some people including the opposition members are curious about this allocation and rather than a long jim-cock bring ram-goat answer that the government would provide the honest and simple answer is. Once you work, you should be paid. Simple as that, NCN spends all year spinning and producing and promoting propaganda material for the government so it’s obvious that come budget time, they have to be paid for their services.

Boring, Boring...Budget Debates are so boring
Earlier I was one for the live broadcasting of sittings of the National Assembly but I've recently been given a harsh reminder why for some, things are good the way they are.
With the budget debates going on, one would expect to have some lively, entertaining, insightful presentations from our MP's but what has been shown leaves much much to be desired. It really does make for depressing viewing. Most of these MP's just stands up and reads a very monotonous speech obviously prepared by someone else, gone are the spontaneity of Parliamentary debates. There are some persons in that honorable house that should be removed in order to spear us their crushing banality.
Apart from these presentations being severely lacking, they are ridiculously long, gosh I wish the speaker of the house would turn down those requests for additional 15 minutes and in effect spear us all from more mediocrity. Anyone who saw Pauline Sukhai's presentation would know just what I'm talking about, she shouldn't feel bad though, a lot of other members of that house have no talent, it's not like they can do any better. Do you hear me Clement Rohee? I hope you do because if I ever wanted to hear from an ass, I'd just fart and get it over with.
Volda Lawrence darling I'm writing this part with you and your other colleagues in mind. The horrible presentations weren't limited to the Government bench alone, the opposition members were just as guilty. If I could have, I'd slap all of them senseless but I really don't have the seven seconds to spare. These people are now like KFC chicken - lacking in the essential spices, come on people, spice it up a little...pretty please...
Anybody remember this though: Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them. Personally I think the majority of them are born mediocre, I've seen very little to tell me otherwise.

Today is Budget Day...What are YOU hoping for?
Today is a day that affects the lives of all Guyanese, even if most of them don’t quite realize it.
Dr. Ashni Singh, Minister of Finance, will present the Government budget for 2009. This time however, he is presenting a budget when our country is feeling the ripples of a global financial crisis that has engulfed the economies of the developed and developing countries. Budget 2009 therefore comes at a most crucial time.
Our economy hasn’t grown much in recent years so it will be very interesting to note if the Minister will be forecasting growth in the economy during these turbulent times, or what the projected inflation rate will be.
What will also be interesting to know is how much of our GDP will be government spending on what and where exactly the money will be coming from. Well actually the last part isn’t much of a mystery. VAT, PAYE for individuals, corporate taxes for corporations will account for most of the government’s income, but where will the rest be coming from?
However, the part that will concern all of us is if the 16% rate of VAT will be reduced, a suggestion that has been made several times before but has always been rebuffed and whether the income tax threshold will be increased.
Traditionally, our budgets have been full of numbers and words but always lacking in vision, optimism and hope, let us hope beyond hope that 2009 will be different.

New Judges to be appointed...it's about freaking time.
Our honorable President announced that he will be appointing two new judges. Finally, what took so long?
Mr. Jagdeo while making this announcement stated that he’s conscious about the vacancies in the High Court but noted that the function of filling these vacancies lies with the Judicial Service Commission.
Maybe I’m wrong but someone ought to remind Mr. President that HE has to appoint judges (not many things happen in this country without Mr. Jagdeo’s approval). The JSC cannot instruct a person to just go and take up office and work at the High Court, all they do is offer recommendations.
And while you’re at it, please also remind him that the JSC recommended these two persons to these positions since very early last year but he didn’t confirm them for whatever reason, maybe he lost their papers among those unsigned bills on his desk.
Anyways, all of that is in the past, we’re getting two new judges (one of whom is hyped to be a good judge, similar to Justice Barnes, the other lacking in criminal expertise).
I do wonder now though, if these judges will be confirmed judges or temporary ones who in the end might not get their benefits like a recently retired judge (reporters still include his name in lists of current High Court judges though).
And since I’m out wondering, I’m curious to know how long it will take to replace Ramson at the Appeal Court and just who that replacement might be. Justice Ramlall better be prepared for some more disappointment though, he might just be overlooked…again.

Mr. Bharrat Jagdeo has a sense of humor
The government clearly has to be joking right by announcing Dr. James Rose as chairman of the Integrity Commission right? They have to be. How else can you explain, appointing a PPP man to examine and investigate the finances of other PPP people, MP’s and other public officials? Seriously, are you freaking kidding me...Bitch Please!!

Speculation is over. Ramson it is...WTF?
You cannot begin to imagine how disappointed I was when I heard the announcement that Mr. Charles Ramson has been appointed the new Ag.
Personally I think it's a sad day for those folks over at the AG chambers...good luck from now on, God knows you all are going to need it.
I would seriously like to know the rationale for this decision, the real rationale and not that diplomatic, iditoic crap about years of service and experience. I want to know why the fuck was he given another chance to fuck up this Ministry again. How the hell could he be a better candidate than Ralph Ramkarran? Only a fool would think that people would prefer working with Ramson than Ramkarran and only a bigger fool would think that Ramson is better suited for this position.
Hey, but what the ass do I know? What I do know is this though, with this appointment, the PPP has again missed an opportunity to put the country first. I don't know why I still continue to hope that things with them are going to change. This isn't America and sadly we don't have a Barack Obama that we can say 'yes we can'

Mr. Jagdeo reinstates FIRED Air Traffic Controllers.
It's not often that I have written anything glowing about our President, however I do think that this time, his actions merit a note of praise.
Shortly after returning from his European trip, whilst addressing the media, Mr. Jagdeo informed the public that he asked the striking Air Traffic Controllers to return to work with the promise of further discussions concerning their grievances soon, and no surprise here, they did. Thank you Mr. President. Any chance of reversing the illegal dismissal of those two workers from Transport and Harbor?
Now what's to note here, is that the President did not come with a bullish attitude, trying to intimidate the strikers, instead, he reached out an olive branch and offered to talk. That's very surprising and noble of him.
Mr. Benn should at least take note and not let his arrogance and power get the better of him. Easier said than though for a man with such a large...Ego

Bharrat not here; Sam still speaks....
It seems our usually bumbling, insignificant Acting President even has some words about those workers being on strike. It's good to know that Sam still has an opinion...it's a pity that no one really listens to him or even cares about his opinion.
However, Nadia dear Nadia, I don't know if you know but The President is not in the country (seems as if he is hardly ever here these days) and even my 6yr old baby knows that when he isn't here, Sam is the acting President, so at least get that little fact right and address the man accordingly. Or do you even know that your boss is not in the country, maybe you once again didn't do any research.
It's hard to not know that Bharrat isn't here when practically every day we have to see him all over the television doing that now stale discussion. Gosh, does NCN & NTN know how to spoil a moment or what? talk about overkill. It was a great thing the first 3 or 4 times but seriously they have to know that by the 67th time that they would be annoying people with it.

Seriously, what's the matter with Minister Benn? He needs some straightening out
Well well well, not surprising, but Minister Benn is back at it again. This time the oh so arrogant minister is threatening to fire the air traffic controllers who are currently striking for accrued benefits due to them since 2007.
Now I’m not saying that the strikers are doing the right thing, and strikes are never nice but sometimes they are very necessary and with this administration it seems as if measures of aggression are the only things that they respond to.
All fair minded, decent individuals should want an end to this dispute but Minister Benn with his war-like, intolerant, arrogant attitude isn’t helping the situation very much, in fact he is not helping at all.
He goes as far to say that the workers actions are illegal…My my my, how the tables have turned now. When this very Minister was firing people that he had no right firing he didn’t know that it was illegal then. Anyways this minister and many of his colleagues are like slippers, flip flops to be exact and they only use some words when it suits their purpose.
On a final note though, since this particular Minister likes to fire people so much, it’s sad, very sad that he can’t execute a justified termination and get rid of the credibility tarnished Priya Manickchand.

Presidential Quotes and Cultured Ramblings on the Integrity Commission
I'm going to be quoting the President in this post and making some comments of my own. Let's go.
"when the Members of Parliament, (some) legislators in our land are saying they would not comply with the law that they passed?”
Really Now? The PNC passed that Law? Are you sure Mr. President? Sure the PNC is occasionally in Parliament, but I doubt any of they're members can remember when last they got a bill passed.
"I want to remove any excuse that the opposition leaders have so I may look at probably extending it for a few days"
Can't say I'm surprised, I so expected this from you.
"“I urge the people of Guyana to look at this as a test case, because if the Leader of the Opposition is urging people to break the law when the law is to ensure financial probity in public life…what moral authority does he have to ever speak about corruption?”
Mr. Jagdeo, what moral authority do you think you have to speak of corruption when you preside over one of the most corrupt governments in the western hemisphere? remember ur henchman at the finance ministry with the duty free letters?
"they don’t want the people of this country to know what their income level is and what are their assets, the holding of their assets.”
Are you going to declare (honestly) just how you afforded that mansion in prado ville?
"you should be asking now why is it that some Members of Parliament who have been in Parliament for six-seven years, have not submitted a single declaration when it is required by law and how do they continue to make laws in this country…how do they continue to enjoy the benefits as legislators? This is not a question for me; it’s a question for the people of the country.”
Wow, what a change, suddenly you know that the people of this country have questions? but whenever they want to question you or your government they are termed critics, cynics, unpatriotic among other degrading names. I guess you conveniently decide when the questions of the population should be heard.

Kwame tells Ram about conflict of interest
I'm wondering who taught Kwame that little bit about conflict of interest issue that he leveled against Christopher Ram? Since I have my doubts that he's capable of recogonising that for yourself with your head so far up your boss's arse, I'm thinking that you got that notion from all those years of reading the barber lacking Freddie Kissoon who has written on that issue countless times. At least you're reading, that's good...
Nonsense from the President
In responding to some of Ms. Jagdeo’s claims, the President did not confirm or deny any of the allegations but he did state that he cannot allow state resources to be used for personal reasons by Ms. Jagdeo, regardless of how well intentioned her efforts are. Mr. President, that’s bullshit!
It is more than well known that Ministers in your government use state resources for personal reasons all their time. Vehicles are used to take wives/husbands all across the country, shopping, sporting, jogging or to so may other places. State vehicles are used to transport the kids of ministers to school, work, clubs and where ever they wish to go, and if a vehicle alone is requested by one, it is given so don’t go telling the nation that you couldn’t allow Varshnie to use two state vehicles for the betterment of the citizens in this country, that is nonsense, utter nonsense, even coming from a man who I’m accustomed to hearing a nonsense from.
You were a man I once respected and thoughtly highly of, now you are regarded as a stain against the men of this country, and an even bigger embarrassment to the people of Guyana. You have every attribute of a dog except loyalty, you make me sick, and I’m appalled to know that I’m from the same country as you. I'd call you a sadistic, parsimonious, necrophile, but that would be like beating a dead horse wouldn't it and as of this moment, I get the feeling that if you were a woman Bharrat (I still have my doubts that you’re not), I’d guess you to be one of those mothers who eats their young; you are a cruel savage and a sad excuse for a man!!!!

Priya Manickchand Should Resign.
Ms. Manickchand, I’ve had a few opportunities to meet you and I have always felt that you are truly one of the most genuine and sincere ministers in this pathetic government. I have nothing but deep admiration for the work you do in spite of the many challenges you face. No one can deny that you have faithfully and diligently performed your job to the best of your abilities.
However with the revelations made by the First Lady of this country, with regards to the systematic and cruel punishment doled out to her by her husband, your boss, you are now faced with an unenviable dilemma. How can you just ignore the accusations of Ms. Jagdeo and continue working for the man that was the source of all her abuse and torment? Isn't that the epitome of hypocrisy? doesn't that go against everything that you and your ministry stand for?
Unless, you publicly voice your dissenting opinion, rebuke the President, urge the nation to not follow his example, among other measures then you would be perceived as just another of the many hypocrites that litter the PPP regime and your position as Minister of Human Services will hold no credibility to the citizens of this country.
Do the right thing Ms. Manikchand.
However with the revelations made by the First Lady of this country, with regards to the systematic and cruel punishment doled out to her by her husband, your boss, you are now faced with an unenviable dilemma. How can you just ignore the accusations of Ms. Jagdeo and continue working for the man that was the source of all her abuse and torment? Isn't that the epitome of hypocrisy? doesn't that go against everything that you and your ministry stand for?

Shaik Baksh son robbed
As reported in the news, the son of the Minister of Education was robbed of his $250,000 ipod and US$250 by two men.
I know some people are thinking that finally some people are benefiting from the generosity of the state, however that is wrong and such actions should never be condoned. The rule of law must always be upheld.
But wow, a $250,000 ipod, WOW…If the statement that Varshnie Jagdeo gave is correct that would make the cost of this ipod more than a months’ pay for the President, WOW.
I wonder how the Minister was able to afford this. This is why we need forensic audits, in addition to the Integrity Commission for parliamentarians, government functionaries, and senior public servants. I have this nagging feeling though that it might be listed as a gift from an overseas relative when declarations are made to the commission…that’s the thing with declarations; they doesn’t have to be true. And that’s a fact.
