  Prosperity with a Price Tag | Guyana News 22.08.2026 2m

  The president’s booming economy message comes with a hefty price tag: as we get richer, we’re paying more for convenience, fancy brands, and air-conditioned supermarkets—while the old-school corner store still offers cheaper deals. Dining out, imported goods, and gadgets fuel our new lifestyle, but inflation doesn’t care about GDP growth—it just raises prices with rising demand. The call for “Prosperity with Restraint” urges us to enjoy the wealth without expecting third-world prices for first-world habits. And in a twist, the government’s telling everyone to turn off ACs as heat soars—ironic equality with the West, even if we’re still sipping rum swizzles in our dreams.

  GECOM Stands Firm on Election Rules | Guyana News 22.08.2026 1m

  GECOM refuses to intervene in the political tug-of-war over appointing new commissioners, citing constitutional limits that keep them out of nomination disputes. Opposition leader Azruddin Mohamed, facing legal pressure, pushed for his party’s nominees but GECOM insists it’s not their role to validate or reject appointments — they’re election overseers, not gatekeepers. The standoff also erupted over scrutineer lists, with WIN complaining about exclusion — GECOM clarified that current lists reflect existing agreements with APNU and AFC, and that the Chief Election Officer can’t unilaterally override party consultations. GECOM emphasized strict adherence to legal boundaries, stressing transparency and accountability while rejecting claims of inaction — they’re simply following the law, not dodging responsibility.
