A nat’l govt, the national criminal enterprise

OPINION BY: GHK LALL October 2026

Want to see the PPP Govt’s true colors? Expose it as the premier national criminal enterprise in Guyana and watch it go crazy. Want to watch the national leadership degrade in the worst way? Give it the public label of the region’s leading national criminal entrepreneurs, with only random exceptions. I guarantee it. The PPP Govt knows it. Still, it works overtime to snuff out the few voices in pitiful, fearful, Guyana that lineup the government and identifies it.

Twenty indigenous children as good as murdered, while trapped in an interior dormitory that had maximum-security prison controls. Then, another 100 Guyanese murdered as well in one mass killing that has shocked the nation and made the world blanch with disbelief. A man behaves recklessly while around gasoline and matches, and it’s inevitable that a massacre follows, victims pileup. Further, when six execution-style murders are put in a Ziploc bag and buried at the bottom of the PPP Govt freezer, then a national criminal enterprise prospers.

This is what the PPP Govt doesn’t want to hear spoken, or see written. This is what drives ancient Burnham stooges mad, to find a spark, and add conscientious objectors to their victims. It’s where the poisoned young, born that way, get worse along the way, and work tirelessly to blow away the disagreeable. What else to expect from scurrilous, duplicitous henchmen? Get him. Thus, they operate from Offices of the Pres, the PM, the VP. It must be a real desperado that the PPP has on its hands. What’s revealing is that the more they try to vilify, the more that there’s false witnessing, the more they fail, shame themselves. The credibility of the party and its actors (literally) develops bigger scars on their faces.

When declared a national criminal enterprise, the PPP gets resourceful. It temporarily retired Live in Guyana, its guerilla fighting unit, and unveiled new faces. New faces, old faces, it’s the same contaminated blood. Dirty tricks (FB), Burnham venom (OP), PPP ooze (OPM), it is the same story: a national government proves itself, confesses its double life as the national criminal enterprise in Guyana. There’re the billions squandered and stolen. Those led to deaths by the score (Mahdia), then by a hundred (Barima). Argue with that, my PPP brothers. There’re the plasters, three to date, that peel off, because serial thieves know the game, play along. One big man calling the PPP elite (ministers, public servants) and playacting with playful lashes. Ayuh bettah deal straight, or else…. A bigger man, now weightless, held a siesta at the Arthur Chung Palace. The same trick of a playful public beating down of those enriching themselves, while the Guyanese people get poorer, hungrier, sicker. Sicker over the skullduggeries. The first big man performed his masquerade a second time. Regionals called, given a good spanking. Part of the show.

His reward was solemn faces externally, and smirks and yawns inside. Meanwhile, Guyanese continue to cry for justice, for standards, for relief.

When these are held aloft in bright colors in Kiskadee Watch, Kaieteur News, Village Voice, Demerara Waves, and 592Guardian, the PPP mob takes over. Men with PhDs, men with fake doctorates, men who were Burnham’s Molotov hurlers, all become agitated, and spring into action. Who to send after this Dalit? How to suppress this dissenter? Make him look bad, to make the PPP look good? Both are impossibilities. The people see. The people hear. The people interpret, conclude. The PPP Govt succeeded that brilliantly at being Guyana’s number one national criminal enterprise.

FB efforts highlight the rot inside the party; make matters worse. I feel for the party of Cheddi that has self-destructed, come to this low gutter

I grieve for the Ramotars and Rohees (still holding) amid the arrival of the new PPP creatures that crawled out of the sewer. Cripes! OP and OPM and OVP must stink! Behold! The PPP Govt: Guyana’s foremost national criminal enterprise.
