Security sources confirmed to Demerara Waves Online News (www.demwaves.com)that roads around the town are still blocked and they are hoping to persuade the leaders and to remove debris. The Office of the President announced that “Furthermore, the President has instructed the Joint Services today to remove all barricades blocking the roads and bridges in order to allow unfettered ingress and egress through the The blockages have choked off key supplies to riverain and mining communities as well as the southern border town of Government is also contemplating alternative measures and routes to get fuel and other necessities to communities in Regions Seven, Eight and Nine that depend on road arteries that spring from Lindeners want an estimated 400 percent increase in electricity rates lowered, prosecution of police implicated in the killing of three protesters on July 18 and a structured programme for the agriculture and wood sectors as other investment opportunities. They are also demanding special financing windows for micro-entrepreneurs to help ease the 70 percent unemployment in the once bauxite industry-dependent town. Ramotar’s office singled out Region 10 Chairman, Sharma Solomon, saying that he is expected to cooperate with security forces in removing all obstructions on the roads and bridges. The President emphasised that the He stated that the government has exercised great restraint and patience and was constructive in the many meetings with political party leaders in the APNU and the AFC, the regional stakeholders and the Private Sector Commission over the last 10 days.

90% illiteracy
how ever will they prosper. they are doomed
It is share foolishness for anyone to believe that Ramotar and his consistent lies - about "all Guyanese have the right to protest and represent their issues and concerns in a peaceful and law-abiding manner ", when 3 brothers and scores of other fellow citizens were brutally gunned down by senseless policemen, who were not properly directed and managed.
All of this confirms that our police have no professionalism and a large section should be sacked and the rest re-trained.
Rohee openly admited that the Police breached the "Standard Operation Procedures" (SOP) of the Guyana Police Force, but yet the they are still on duty some other part of the country. Why is he not suspended pending the agreed Public Commission of Inquiry? And why is Rohee still on the job when he failed, miserably, to command the respect of the Guyana Police officers on at least 2 major shooting incidents?
Ramotar - who appointed Rohee to the post - has already made his decision on the fate of Rohee - he will not sack him.
Only a national mass Action that can pose a serious threat to the economy and security of the country will force Ramotar to take such an action. Ramotar will continue to fool around - making empty threats and promises.
Ramotar can say these things to those who don't know him. The people of Linden and the rest of the nation, Guyanese abroad and our International friends must continue our struggle for an end to the dictatorial rule of this "illegal" minority regime.
There can be no compromise with this tiny arrogant power-hungry clique.
VICTORY TO THE PEOPLE !
YOU ARE RIGHT ON THE MONEY BRO
A well Plan Social and Economic Development program with start up at very low cost from the bank, get rid of the hike in electricity. Rohee must go at all cost and justice for the killing and injuring of Guyanese who live in Linden.....
Don't be bullied by Ramjattan , Hughes or Granger
Keep up the good job your doing, we're proud of you and what you have done for our country
Every voter went to God as I did for the party of our choice to win the last election, God ordain it to be the way it is, also remember in the BIBLE David even though persecuted by King Saul did'nt harm him because he was God's annointed.The same you should do for President Donnal Ramotar God's appionted for Guyana when he visit you soon
The best thing you can do is win his compassion, for with love and respect so much more can be achived- in war every body looses
God Bless
I have never seen such ineptitude and lack of leadership as displayed by Ramotar and the other imbecile that he took over from.
Lindeners, do not be swayed,hold strong. This man is coming to you like a wolf amognst the sheep to lie to you,to devour you and to ultimately leave you in the same state of despondency and impoverishment.
Haters Never Prosper... Don't hate us because we are Literate...
Quoting realist:
I urge Lindeners to remove the obstacles so that Mr. Ramotar can make his PR drive through Linden and put them back up as soon as he leaves.
Stand tall, Linden. Let President Ramotar take his concerns about blocked roads to Berbice.
and you are 100% dumb....
We need FACT FINDERS who will go to the various parts of Guyana and compare the electricity rates. The media is suppose to be reporting opinions and FACTS. What is Springland and Essequibo paying for electricity? If my memory serves me correctly there were some solar panels distributed in the interior to help in producing electricity there. Are those people paying the same rate as Georgetown? Or these areas are not considered part of Guyana?
Like you Linden is some other parts of th country where people just "follow the leadr blindly"
President DONALD RAMOTAR should order the joint services to kill all those troble makers

Well since you are completely with out a shadow of a doubt a [censored] of the highest order with no regards for human life u should have migrated to the moon or better yet say that [censored] next to a lindener
Once the party card was good enough for a govt job. Times have changed and unless those who cry foul, disenfranchisem ent, discrimination etc develop the necessary skills that the job market demands, then they will continue to pass the blame on the govt and become victim of those who aspire to become ''leaders of the nation''. They are so blinded by racial and political prejudice they they cannot think for themselves and allow themselves to be influenced by these so call leaders. The country cannot move forward with kind of warp thinking/mentality. Education will get you out of poverty, not destructive protests
Linden is the next target after Buxton. They failed in Buxton and now they are trying to whip tension in Linden. Who will suffer? Certainly not the people on the Corentyne coast or Essequibo Coast or elsewhere.
Is this the same Jinnah Rahaman who escaped the Burnham dictatorship to avoid The Mazaruni correctional centre?
You would be well advised to do your own research on electricity pricing throughout the length and breadth of guyana and you will get the facts.
Before Emancipation, and long after, those stats were: 0% unemployment; 100% illiteracy. These were the people who first planted rice in British Guiana. They proceeded to buy abandonned sugar plantations.
The first big mistake was to make room in these villages for their equally oppressed Indian "brothers" when they could not OWN land elsewhere. As "dem blackman" worked on their own illiteracy, they shared their "slate 'n pencil" with their new "neybahs".
Next big mistake: the grab, hook, line and sinker, for the white man's norms,way of life with its inherent play and emphasis on race, class and color. Our Indian countrymen became even more energetic participants in this movement, primarily for reasons of their own.
The biggest mistake: In the biggest game in Guyana - COPS AND ROBBERS - the blackman chose the wrong side!
When petty crimes abounded: water in the milk; counterfeiting the dollar; bribery; he was missing in action excepting to place the charges and getting the occasional docket to court.
With the progression into false insurance claims, customs and income tax frauds and schemes, there is no catching up now
The loftier heights of narco-trafficking,mon ey laundering,cont raband, the unfettered siphoning-off of the people's money from the various treasuries and banks are the preserves of one ethnic group. The other, now fends for itself as enforcing serfs in the police force and the military. WHAT A PICTURE!
The monies that will be spent on reducing the electricity bill in linden, use it to build another access to and around linden and place the army there 24 - 7 hence treat this new access as you would the borders of Guyana, meaning USE FULL force to any Unauthorised users, meaning that all users will be given permission to gain access through this. put a hold on the development of the country and shout the leaders and supporters of the PNC AND AFC mouth as they are bend on creating this into a political matter when it is not.
