I may not be around the next time we will be celebrating ‘it’. I am now 72 years of age and have had the privilege to be there 47 years ago (May 26, 1966) at the National Park when the British flag, the Union Jack was removed and our Golden Arrow Head was hoisted. And they embraced, yes, Cheddi and Forbes (ODO) hugged each other because at last we were free of the yoke of colonialism and imperialism.
At that time I was young, black, at 25 years and physically and mentally involved in politics and my country.

I’m not very optimistic that farmers will be paid the same prices by millers as last crop for their produce.
A transparent and efficient regulatory system must be in place to ensure that the rice farmers will receive the same price of $4,000 for a bag of paddy.  This means that the farmers will need support from the Ministry of Agriculture, Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB) and the Guyana Rice Producer’s Association (RPA) to represent them to recover this outstanding money.
