 propaganda press - gunnin’ for freedom! » Sam Hinds pissed off at Stabroek News for abusing press free-dumb
Mark Ramotar, Guyana Chronicle: VISIBLY angry and declaring how “very pained and hurt” he was, Prime Minister Samuel Hinds yesterday launched an un-characteristic scathing attack on the Stabroek News newspaper for abusing press freedom by its reckless and politically biased “pavement journalism” aimed at creating division in Guyana rather than fostering unity among Guyanese.
Hinds told reporters that the party is disappointed but not surprised by this misleading report in the Stabroek News.
Hinds said in the event of there being riots in the streets, traditional during an elections period, then some of the blame should be shouldered by the Stabroek News.

They have objected because it will upset their obnoxious deal with Sam Hinds and reduce their profits, I say their deal with Sam Hinds personally and not this nation, since this deal with them never saw the light of day in our parliament, before it was consummated.
In fact since they have not fixed the distribution system and reduced the technical line loss of 42%, 3 years after they took over GEC and since electrical rates have skyrocketed, we should sue them for repudiatory breaches of their agreement.
It is not only Sam Hinds ladies and gentlemen, we do not have a proper legal system in this country, they broke several aspects of the contract with us and they failed to deliver a proper and affordable service, so they should pay us.

 Another hit- from Guyana: Land of Six Peoples
I AM amused by the “crocodile” tears being shed by the People’s National Congress (PNC) in Guyana and some of its apologists abroad for Samuel Hinds because he was not appointed, instead of Bharrat Jagdeo, to succeed Janet Jagan as the new executive president of that country.
And their simulated anger has nothing to do either with any constitutional violation, of which there was none, or about good governance and democracy, a concept that was reduced to a dangerous farce under the PNC’s 28-year rule to which the Caribbean needs no introduction.
This meant that Hinds would first have to resign since the prime minister is the first in line to be president.

However, the government is being cautious given a past experience with Trinidad and Tobago which in the 1970s cut off a line of credit, Prime Minister Sam Hinds said.
In a telephone interview on Friday evening, Hinds told Stabroek News he was not at liberty to publicise the terms and conditions of the agreement he had signed as Guyana's representative at the Montego Bay PetroCaribe meeting early last week.
Hinds emphasised that the arrangement would not provide fuel to consumers at lower prices but was intended to assist Guyana in reducing immediate pressures on foreign exchange in what may appear to be a barter arrangement using sugar.
