Real Guyana - #1 - The Dirtiest Parliament Buildings - 2013
In Guyana, Parliamentary sessions are conducted inside air conditioned chambers whilst right outside, an ocean of filth radiates outwards.
Starting at the gate. Junkies, vagrants, mentally ill people, the disabled, destitute old people sleeping on cardboard, piles of garbage human excrement, rats, putrid drains and the stench of everything you just read with the faint whiff of curry coming from the cook-shop on the corner. Behind parliament, a garbage heap burns. Lets stop lamenting what the last government did, it's starting to look stupid.
This is now; 20 years after the Peoples Progressive Party have taken the reigns of power. Locked in debate behind these concrete pillars they surround themselves in comfort and when the sessions end they're ferried away by motorcade to enjoy similar plushness at home courtesy of the citizens who are cleared from the pavement every Thursday, just so things look good for the cameras.
We love our country, We love our people, but how can we love a government who sits to debate our futures surrounded by filth they have the resource to clean up?
Not when they squander our money away on billion dollar projects aimed at filling the pockets of a few.
Not when that could be my elderly relative, or yours whose head is bowed down through force of rejection, unwashed and uncared for with no social safety net.
This is where it starts people and trust us; as it is outside, so it is inside,
this filth radiates outwards from parliament and as pretty much an accurate reflection of the state of our nation... all in one 4 corner block. It starts in the filthy minds of the people running us into the ground with an addiction to glossy propoganda and watching the numbers climb in their own personal accounts.
To the PPP, APNU, AFC
Do your Jobs!
Clean the Streets!
Help the People!
Protect the future of our children and stop squandering it!
We the people have had ENOUGH!
Reality Check #1
AFC MP caught misleading National Assembly
Executive Member of The Alliance For Change, Moses Nagamootoo was hauled over the coals by Legal Affairs Minister and Attorney General, Anil Nandlall, after he was found misleading the National Assembly during the debate of the bill to repeal the Former President's Pension and Benefits.
During the debate on the APNU- piloted bill, Nagamootoo claimed that while he was a member of the PPP/C back in 2009, he rejected the initial former bill by the government and even voted against it in parliament.

St. George's Cathedral in Georgetown, Guyana
St. George's Cathedral in Georgetown, Guyana
St. George's Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral in Georgetown, Guyana. The wooden church reaches a height of 43.5 metres (143 ft). It is the seat of the Bishop of Guyana.
St. George's was designed by Sir Arthur Blomfield and opened on 24 August 1892. The building was completed in 1899. It is located on Church Street in Georgetown, and has been designated a National Monument.
The history of the Anglican Church in Guyana can be traced as far back as 1781, when the Reverend William Baggs, Chaplain to Sir George Rodney, came to Guyana.
However, his stay was short-lived and it was not until 1796 that the impact of Anglicanism was felt, when Reverend Francis MacMahon began holding services in a room on the ground floor of a building that was on the site of the present Parliament Buildings.
The first church dates back to 1810 and was erected on the site that now houses St. George's School. This church soon became too small for its increasing membership. In 1839 the foundation stone for a larger church was laid and the small church was relocated at St. Matthew's Parish, East Bank Demerara.
The second church was completed in 1842 and became the first cathedral, as a Bishop (William Piercy Austin) was consecrated and the Diocese of Guiana created on 24 August 1842. However, because of a fault in the structure of the building, it began cracking in several places and soon became unsuitable for habitation. It was subsequently dismantled.
In 1877, a temporary Pro-Cathedral was erected in the grounds of the Deanery at a cost of G$10,000. Arthur Blomfield then produced the first plans for the new cathedral - for a building in stone with a central tower and two western towers; but these were rejected because of the weight and the expense. His subsequent plans for a wooden cathedral were accepted, a design that kept many of the salient features of his first plan, such as the central tower and the Latin cross formation of nave and transepts. It was in the Gothic style of architecture, complete with flying buttresses, but it also had a tropical flavour, ensuring light and air. However, it was to be in timber and the committee emphasised that woods of the country and no others were to be used, although in fact pitchpine was imported from North America for the ceiling.
The foundation stone for the present St. George's Cathedral, built mainly of Greenheart, was laid on 21 November 1889, and the cathedral was consecrated on 8 November 1894 and dedicated by Bishop Swaby.

AFC proposed Budget cuts will affect all Guyanese not just supporters of the Government
Agriculture Minister, Dr Leslie Ramsammy has debunked the opposition's frivolous claims that the projects they are targeting for cuts in the 2013 budget will benefit a select group of people. He said on examination of the projects, one would see that they are all encompassing and all Guyanese are to be the beneficiaries.
The money for Old Age Pension, building the school in Kato, $100 million to support the Hinterland electrification programme,$11 billion to GPL, $1 billion for GuySuCo to help the industry to continue its development, $350 million for the Demerara Harbour Bridge and $600 million for the Parliament; are these the people that are PPP cronies? Is the Speaker of the National Assembly and Khemraj Ramjattan all part of a PPP criminal cabal?asked the minister while speaking on a National Communications Network (NCN) programme on Sunday.
Dr Ramsammy noted that the GPL for instance has more than 160,000 households on its customer base. Is the opposition therefore saying that all of them are friends of the People's Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C)? he questioned
Minister Ramsammy endorsed the importance of agricultural development and urged the opposition to vote in the interest of the people of Guyana at the 2013 budget estimates. I would expect that every cent of the $208 billion would be supported, he said.
The 2013 budget is one of the most comprehensive budgets in the history of Guyana which touches every aspect of people's development, and it contains policies and programmes extracted from both the opposition parties' manifesto, he said, adding that he was shocked, disappointed and disgusted upon seeing the proposed cuts by the Alliance For Change (AFC).
All I see from my collogues on the other side is a behaviour that represents total, absolute pettiness, vindictiveness, he said.
The minister, in outlining all the proposed cuts, lambasted this move and questioned the validity of them. He asked whether the opposition is so prejudiced against the government that they would cut projects that would improve the lives of Guyanese.
Because you hate me or Bharrat Jadgeo or Minister Clement Rohee, is that what our parliament has become? he asked, and called on the AFC to act in the interest of the people.

THE AREA FOR VENDING BEHIND PARLIAMENT BUILDING HAS A NAME
The vendors have been innovative in coming up with their own name for the newly allocated space of vending, much to the amazement of some.
And with such an appropriate and interesting name even Mayor Patricia Chase Green was taken by surprise.
