can you remember when Burnham applied for a year's leave of absence to live in switzerland?
The reason for that was the Swiss governmnet changed the law and anyone who holds a numbered account in any Swiss bank cannot withdraw money unless they live there for a year..

You should find out which one of Burnham's daughter went to Switzerland and was a resident for 13 months..

Rama, Burnham's leave of absence had to do with him recuperating from a heart attack and open heart surgery, that was same time before Winifred Gaskin died.If you can recall he had then returned to Guyana and was too sick even to attend her funeral.

Burnham was all that we can accuse him of, however, thus far this money trail seems elusive. Or did Burnham even outsmarted himself in the end and the money is still with the banks?

A possibility, Ireton.

There were questions about full accounting of the funds, among others, for:

1. Road construction under Jordan's stewardship.

2. About One billion dollars spent by the UMDA.

Maybe we should ask Bernard about UMDA.

And also what would he say about a report that he was in Switzerland, at least, on one occasion.

Damn, what a country? They spent that UMDA money as if it was going out of style. I recalled seeing tons of heavy equipment just abandoned in those areas. On any given period one would see so many of those East German trucks stucked in swamps along the upper Mazuruni roadway.

Yes indeed Ireton -- Money flowed as if the source was a bottomless pit.

From what I have gathered, you also are aware and saw the signs of mismanagement of the UMDA.

DG as a kid I was fortunate enough to travel around much of Guyana with my dad and was able to see first hand many things. Moreso, at many family functions in and out of Guyana, I was privy to many of actions and policy makers.

And hence, Ireton, that is why you and I have balanced exchange of thoughs plus we are able to discuss issues, items, etc., in a circumspect manner.

But if you ask Caribj, Spice, Jungle , Gtman ect, they will tell you none of the above ever happened.

I would no time engage anyone in this forum in any other manner. We may share different positions and viewpoints,however, I do believe that Guyana belongs to all Guyanese and not the province of what political grouping or another.
If we cannot talk to and with each other about our country then all will be lost. I suspect that the nation is tearing aways at its core,and I cannot imagine the likely outcome.

Nehru,I will never, never come here an defend the actions of the PNC during its time of power.I lived part of my life through that despotic rule, I witnessed the crude excess of that regime,the murders, the fear that they instilled in those who they perceived that were opposed to them.
As I mentioned before,I lived in Guyana and experienced our homes being searched for arms and weapons because your family choose to stand by and in support of those who were persecuted by the Burnham regime.
I saw family and friends of our family loose their jobs because they dared to speak out against the PNC. The PNC was a cancer on the soul of all Guyanese.There is nothing that they and their supporters can convince me otherwise.

Exactly my views Ireton -- Guyana belongs to all of us ... those who still reside there plus us abroad who do have a positive affinity to Guyana.

Since as a child growing up my views are always focused on two words -- Guyana and Guyanese -- two simple words, yet with profound meanings.

I believe that, especially us who are abroad, should be focused on what we can do positively for Guyana.

As you know Ireton, it is easy for people to critisize and complain -- but is becomes a challenge for them to provide positive solutions.

I am one of those who is on the side of being a part of the solutions.

Ireton, I myself had such experiences and so when I speak of the PNC, I speak Facts. Some on GNI are either naive or delusional. Anyway, keep up the good work and continue to be a positive force for our beloved Guyana.

I am not on GNI to talk about my degrees, diplomas, certificates, commendations, recognitions, credits at University, etc.

Maturity plus recognized practical experience always ace youth with newly acquired academic qualifications.

You will find some additional general information on my experience.

Neither am I. I have to defend myself when people call me thief, opportunist and one who was rejected from PPP Minister work.

By the way, you were trying to challenge my work...I was just asking what's your research background. I think that was a reasonable question to ask. And as the challenger you should have done the decent thing by taking about yourself and not your uncle.

Have a nice day.

For the record -- Note the highlighted part of my reply.

Again to note that as always, maturity plus recognized practical experience always ace youth with newly acquired academic qualifications.

It is no concern to me about you and those people, as you stated that -- you "have to defend myself when people call me thief, opportunist and one who was rejected from PPP Minister work".

Objective and circumspect critique is always welcomed and appreciated.

Many on GNI know personally; and/or know of; my late uncle Dr. Kazim Bacchus; who passed away on 22 March 2007.

I will relate a bit of his thoughts on critique of items.

My Uncle and I have always had fond; yet at times in-depth; discussions on varied topics since high school and as we both progressed as recognized professionals in our respective careers. My Uncle’s and my knowledge/interests go far beyond our specific areas of expertise.

Succinctly, his views are –“It is for academics to critique issues and ideas; etc.”

However, my uncle felt that the effectiveness of those endeavours is based on how a person is circumspect and objective.

For over twenty [ 20 ] years I was a special Guest Lecturer to the soon-to-be-graduates in a particular discipline at the university.

After my lecture and discussions, I usually leave the graduates with this advice/thought.

1. The diplomas / certificates only signify to the world that they have successfully completed the university assignments.

2. The diploma / certificate indeed is a personal sign of their achievement and a treasure for their parents

3. They now have the theoretical knowledge which needs to be transferred into practical application.

4. They become experts/professionals, not only by being accepted by his/her peers into the professional field – but they MUST actually produce tangible things that are of their own efforts; -- hence practical application of their skills.

5. It takes about 5 years [ or more for some people ] to reach that first step.

Here we go again....Mr. Self Inflator you really need to do something about that low self esteem problem of yours. Have you not noticed that you never complement others, never correct yourself and always try to downplay the achievements of others?

Bannas, you need help. Or are you too old to change?
