Charging these people with a set of ridiculous offences.
Looks like scare tactics to me.
I am also wondering the same. Then Watts was sent to cause more aggrivation in the town. Looks like the GPF is having another Henry Greene in the lead...how many badges has Brummel collected as yet?
You can find time to burn a school but not attend one? Lindeners are a disgrace to all of mankind.
Are you guys not ashamed for 48 years -u Greand father, u father- now u children, living FREE GAD man whea aio shame dea some of us here have mud house with Air Condition while some people in Essequibo and Berbice still using Juglamp(flambo) yet they pay there taxes so the Government can use it to Subsidise BOSAI so you can burnt Current free
Average unites of current for one month is 200x $15.00 = $3,000 - two days pay Aio muda @ rass sporting twice that on Friday to Saturday
In the first place there should never have been a PROTEST- Go brush u teeth
sometimes a prejudiced view prevents one from considering reality
lindeners do not object to paying a fair share of electtricity tariffs. it is asking for a review of the current real cost of generaing electricity in linden by bosai.
and any difference between that cos and the current it will pay
it also asks that better economic environment b put in place to facilitate economic strength.
the government has not told you that the 2billion hey talk about includes the money that they pay for government facilities and street lights which they also pay for in the city and else whee in guyana.
they did not tell u that from the first of july lindeners were required to pay a 600% increase. if that was gradual then wha will the ultimate cost be.
I am aware that many of you in the city get a lot of black out and still pay large bills . hae u wondered why that is so
are you paying for the inefficiencies of gpl.
try to find out the cost of generating electricity by bosai as opposed to gpl and u will understand some thing more about the reasons for protesting
A word to the police and forces your action against your brothers will come back to haunt you. You know the history of the PPP the will get you to commit crimes on your own people and one day each our will become a personal victim. That's how the PPP has always opperated.
I am happy to see some opposition leaders who got your votes speaking up for your cause. Just stay strong and focused. The time is right for you to state clearly that you will not burn schools. Since you know that the PPP will burn them and claim it is you. I know that you will not do that but my brothers/sisters but know it is just the beginning.
Warning to the PPP don’t you ever believe that black blood is cheap! The last government under Barrat lost a golden opportunity to bring Guyana closer to ONE PEOPLE; but instead they carried out the old racists policies of the 60's. I always knew that they would find a way to punish you for rejecting them. That snake has not changed its skin.
But my people slavery did not kill us and this will not. I want you to know that no weapon formed against you will prosper. Let me make a direct quote for you. ISAIAH 54:17
‘No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness [is] of me, saith the LORD’.
Claim these words as a people and watch the one who was always fighting your battles show up for you. Shout it out loud and teach it to your children for you are the heritage of the ‘MOST HIGH’.
My people you are bless you victory will turn up faster than you think.

All charged are men under 45 years of age. Get off ur lazy asses and get a job and in some cases an education.
