Sir Donald Bradman: Greatest of All Time
chairman
opinion
9.1K 0 Perhaps the greatest curse any commentator or spectator can place upon a budding batsman beginning to hit their peak in international cricket is to use a particularly unfortunate adjective to describe them: Bradmanesque. Though of course drawing a comparison with the great Sir Donald Bradman is meant as the highest praise, and indeed should
The frame work conditions for the new Demerara Harbour Bridge Project
chairman
opinion
The frame work conditions for the new Demerara Harbour Bridge Project seem to be changing almost on a weekly basis! First, the project should be developed by the bidding contractors under the "design, finance, and build" model. This was in November 2021. Not to my surprise, only bids were made by Chinese contractors. Others, for example European, U
Guyana has always been considered a favourable location for the settlement of migrants
chairman
opinion
The US and Guyana have enjoyed friendly and cordial relations spanning many decades. Recently, countries with which the US enjoy such relations have been asked to consider accepting refugees from Afghanistan. Letters have appeared in the press for and against Guyana’s acceptance of Afghani refugees. There is a history to our country’s role in this
I believe it was this subterfuge that scuttled the Rodney COI in 2005
chairman
opinion
Now that the PPP government is rectifying some of the wrongs that had been piled on top of Walter Rodney’s 1980 assassination – such as rejecting the cause of death as “misadventure” – it might be time to comment on the aborted attempt to have a COI into his death in 2005. At that time. I was a Member of Parliament, representing ROAR since 2001. In
Guyana is for all peoples – Happy 55th Guyana!
chairman
opinion
ON May 26, 1966, our national flag, the Golden Arrowhead, was hoisted for the first time, trumpeting the birth of our beautiful nation as a free country. On the occasion of our 55th Independence Anniversary, let us continue to hoist our flags and banners in the same spirit of patriotism, pride, solidarity, and love for our great nation, that we did
Right to dissent with court ruling falls within universally acceptable principles
chairman
opinion
The right to dissent is constitutionally guaranteed to all. We are living in a dangerous time when some are seeking to deny the most basic of rights, that is the right to free speech, even within the confines of the law. The recent incident of the judgment handed down by the High Court in the Elections Petition is one such. It also proves a growing
GECOM staff must be able to conduct free and fair elections
chairman
opinion
Dear Editor, AN abundance of evidence exists in the public domain, which highlights the massive state of contamination among senior administrative ranks in the secretariat of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM). Personnel who have controlled the nation’s electoral machinery, over time facilitated incremental compromise of the accepted tenets of
The government is doing its job and we need to do ours to bring 2030 to 2050 innovation to Guyana
chairman
opinion
I write to you to reiterate a known fact that young people are leading the culture of innovation and should be permitted every opportunity to thrive and lead by example. In every generation, a group of young persons emerge as the revolutionaries, the advocates of change, the axis of innovation and the creative thinkers of the day. They would go on
Llewellyn John contributed to struggle for free and fair elections in Guyana
chairman
opinion
­I recently came across a letter published under the heading ‘Only two survivors now from final Independence Conference’ (SN January 20, 2021). Of interest to me are three issues referred to in the letter. All three issues are of historical significance. First about Llewellyn John. Apart from his participation in the talks in the 1960’s for an inde
I READ former President David Granger’s exhaustive and exhausting New Year message
chairman
opinion
By Mohabir Anil Nandlall, SC MP I READ former President David Granger’s exhaustive and exhausting New Year message. It chronicles a compendium of alleged achievements made by the Coalition Government. It proffered explanations, nay justifications, for the rapacious violations of the constitution, the unprecedented abrogation of the rule of law and

NatalyaChennai Super Kings win fifth IPL title

Chennai Super Kings pulled off what seemed improbable to win their fifth Indian Premier League title by defeating former champions Gujrat Titans by five wickets on DLS method in a rain-affected final.

SUMMARY: Gujrat Titans 214-4 from 20 overs (Sai Sudharsan 96, Wriddhiman Saha 54 Shubman Gill 39, Hardik Pandya 21*; Matheesha Pathirana 2-44) vs Chennai Super Kings 171 from 15 overs (Devon Conway 47, Shivam Dube 32*, Ajinkya Rahane 27; Mohit Shamra 3-36, Noor Ahmad 2-17)

Due to the prolonged rain delay, CSK had a revised target of 171 from 15 overs.
