Attorney General and Legal Affairs Minister, Anil Nandllall, on Sunday noted that several major transformative projects that are currently being undertaken along the East Coast Demerara (ECD) corridor, many of which are not visible or known to the general public. A section of the ‘electricity corridor’ being built out in the backlands along the East Coast Demerara to facilitate the new transmission lines In a bid to highlight something of these initiatives, Nandlall travelled to the ECD backlands where a massive energy corridor is being built out to replace the aged transmission lines and accommodate increased power that will come from the highly-anticipated Gas-to-Energy project. “This simple corridor, at the back of what is currently nowhere, is a multi-billion capital investment,” the minister stated. According to Nandlall, “This is the type of development that you’re not seeing but is taking place. So, when we speak about transformation, while you are...

GBA President Steve Ninvalle Last week at Olympic House, Liliendaal, Ken Harvey boldly stated that he would return to the Land of Many Waters with a medal, after competing in the 4th South American Youth games. On Wednesday evening, the teenager ensured his statement would become reality, winning his quarterfinal bout, thus moving on to the medal rounds at the Games in Panama City, Panama. Harvey, fighting out of the blue corner, took on Paraguay’s Edgar Miranda in the Quarterfinal of the 60kg weight class. It took the Guyanese only two rounds and a several lusty blows to his opponent’s head and body to destabilise him. Harvey’s dominance caused the referee to intervene with two counts in the first round and another early in the second round. Following that count, just 24 seconds into the second round, the referee stopped the bout thus granting Harvey a win by the RSC...

A persistent paradox is unfolding within the labour market; widespread complaints of unemployment exist alongside a growing number of unfilled vacancies. This contradiction demands careful examination, particularly as the country experiences rapid economic expansion and structural transformation. Remarks by Parliamentary Affairs and Governance Minister, Gail Teixeira, over the weekend in Bartica bring this issue into sharp focus and underscore the urgency of recalibrating attitudes toward work, training, and opportunity. At the heart of the matter lies a disconnect between job availability and job uptake. Opportunities are being created across multiple sectors, driven by public investment, private enterprise, and the diversification of the economy. Yet, many of these positions remain vacant, not due to a lack of demand from employers, but because of insufficient applications or reluctance among job seekers to engage with available roles. This gap cannot be ignored, particularly at a time when labour shortages threaten to constrain productivity...

Your Eyewitness had commented earlier about T&T’s PM Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s condemnation of the “surreptitious and odious process” used by Caricom leaders to reappoint Carla Barnett as SG of the regional grouping. In effect, she said she’d been constructively “disinvited” when she wasn’t asked to stay behind after the formal Heads of Government Heads of Government (HOG) meeting for a special “caucus”!! And she wasn’t gonna go along with no decision cooked up to deliver a fait accompli in her absence!! At the time, your Eyewitness thought the leaders who did show up at the Caucus didn’t want Kamla around ‘cause she’d shown them up in her fervent support of the Donroe Doctrine!! This – not so incidentally – resulted in the spiriting away of Mad Maduro to face some special music in Florida!! The same locale Kamla (and Pres Ali) met by special invitation with Pres Trump to participate in...
