Uncle Ramesh's Corner — Wednesday, March 19, 2026

Uncle Ramesh reads only the Chronicle, sees only the bright side, and adds what the Brief missed.

This is satire. Characters and scenarios are fictional. Any resemblance to real persons, statements, or events is used for commentary and entertainment purposes.

Uncle Ramesh reads only the Guyana Chronicle. He is a patriot. He has opinions.


Good morning, everybody! Uncle Ramesh here, fresh from de Chronicle, and let me tell you — today looking POSITIVE.


Oil reach US$100 a barrel! Uncle Ramesh sit down with he morning tea and nearly choke when he see dat. ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS. You know what dat mean? Revenue. Investment. Future. Some people saying dey not feeling it yet — but Uncle Ramesh does always say, good things take time. You ever plant a mango tree? You don’t get mango de same day.


De $100,000 cash grant start flowing! Government PROMISED and government DELIVERED. Some people grumbling about de bank account situation but Uncle Ramesh say — if you want government money, is not unreasonable to have somewhere to put it. Get a bank account, people. Is 2026.


Minister Edghill in Uruguay representing Guyana! Uruguay! At a REGIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE SUMMIT. Uncle Ramesh barely could find Uruguay on a map but dat is not de point. De point is Guyana sitting at de table with South American nations, discussing de future of regional development. Global presence. Dat is what a serious country look like.


1,700 people in Region Two got job skills training over five years. Five years of sustained, consistent investment in human capital. Dat is not an accident — dat is a PLAN being executed. Uncle Ramesh tip he hat.


And de Court of Appeal deal with dem Mohamed fellas again. Justice moving. Slowly, yes, but moving. Uncle Ramesh believe in de process.

Stay positive, Guyana! De best days coming.

Until tomorrow — Uncle Ramesh 🇬🇾
