Freddie De effing thief!!

Is anyone aware that in spite of his daily diatribes about all levels of government corruption, U.G Lecturer and Kaieteur News Columnist, Frederick 'Freddie' Kissoon, was arrested whilst in Canada for stealing 2 books from a charitable book store?

Yes Freddie that vehement critic! An ordinary fucking thief!

Caught in the Slips!

A prominent media practitioner was involved in an incident where he fell asleep after one of his 'Daggering' sessions and his young, male partner promptly removed some of his belongings which included a substantial amount of cash and a camera belonging to the media entity that he worked for. After he awoke and discovered the items missing it threw him into a state of panic. If the boss found out it could have spelt trouble since it would've been viewed as an act of infidelity as they too shared a relationship.

As a result, a report of break and entry was made at the Alberttown Police Station where investigators concluded, after finding no signs of forced entry, that the story was concocted.
The media practitioner promptly contacted some friends of his who were of dubious character and purported to be members of the infamous, Roger Khan, led 'Phantom Squad' and the young man along with the camera and other belongings were located.
The young man was released but not after given a sound trashing(Roughing up) and the items promptly returned!

Do nothing fear nothing Glen!

Glen Lall

Why is Kaieteur News publisher so worried about his Tax file being in the possession of the Auditor General's Office? Do nothing fear nothing!
But then again Glen might have quite a few skeletons in his closet, particularity as it relates to the construction of a huge shopping mall at the corners of Regent and Wellington street which Glen is purported to have a huge stake in instead of the front man claiming to be the owner. We here at Liveinguyana were made to understand that up until recently the pruported owner was a clothes vendor in the Stabroek Market! How is it that a person who sells clothes out of a few suitcases comes into possession of so much wealth? And why was Glen Lall's U.S Visa revoked?

The word 'Guyana' spells controversy!

Shivnarine Chanderpaul hit 46 off 30 balls after
taking 26 off an over from Steve Harmison, but
the end to the match meant it was largely forgotten

An amazing miscalculation from West Indies coach John Dyson handed England an extraordinary victory in the opening one-day international, at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, when he misread the Duckworth-Lewis chart and called his batsmen in when they were two behind the required target.

With the light fading Stuart Broad trapped Denesh Ramdin leg-before to tip the D/L target in England's favour, with West Indies needing 27 from 22 balls, yet Dyson insisted his not-out batsmen walk off after reading the sheet in front of him. Andrew Strauss knew his team were ahead, but Dyson needed convincing and went to see the match referee before the result was confirmed. It overshadowed what had been an excellent match and left Dyson with serious questions to answer.

Drunken Basil!

Basil Williams

Quite like some of his colleges in the ruling party, a drunken PNC/R member of Parliament and Attorney-at-law Basil Williams was seen stumbling out of the Latino Bar on Friday, at around 2 in the morning in the company of a female of mixed ancestry, who by all appearances seems quarter of Basil's age! He could be heard by all and sundry belting out loud expletives and was so consumed by his alcoholic consumption that he had to be fetched to his vehicle, where he took to the steering wheel in a drunken state!

kick them out!

-GWI official sent home after kickback reports

We were made to understand that a senior official within the Guyana Water Inc has been sent home because of his alleged involvement in fraudulent activities which would have seen various contractors being given preferential treatment when it came to the awarding of GWI contracts.
The company is soon to make an official statement. The official was sent home on Wednesday.

We will bring you the details as it emerges!

Cricket! Lovely Cricket! Both matches at Providence sold out!

Cricket lovers at the National Stadium, Providence

As Guyana hosts the first One Day International in the 2009 Digicel Series which commenced at 09:30 hrs this morning, both matches scheduled to be played at the National Stadium, Providence have been reported sold out and NCN is currently carrying the first of such live!

We have been keeping a close eye on the proceedings and are noticing a steady crowd build up even though it is moving at a snail's pace due in part to the security measures implemented. Authorities are keen on security, especially in light of what took place in Pakistan recently.

We have also noticed an influx of foreigners, particularly overseas based Guyanese who arrived for these two matches.
Many that spoke to us expressed shock and dismay at Guyana's rapid progression, particularly in the area of infrastructural development as they have been fed information that suggested otherwise!

Just imagine that it took us 3 hours to travel from Georgetown to Providence due to the rigid security measures implemented and large turn out.

Sita De Cheatah!

-US revokes Supreme Court Registrar’s visa


Sita Ramlall

The United States Embassy in Georgetown has revoked the visa of Supreme Court Registrar, Sita Ramlal. The revocation followed an investigation by the embassy into a case of forgery of documents purporting to represent the adoption of a female child.
A police source said that at the centre was an application for immigration purposes for a female said to be the adopted daughter of former Chief of Staff of the Guyana Defence Force and Human Resources Manager of Bosai, Norman McLean.

The police said that the embassy reported that dates were changed to make the adoption papers appear to have been done before the actual date.
During the investigation by the embassy, staff attached to the Supreme Court Registry testified that Ms. Ramlal instructed them to make the changes in the records of the Supreme Court.

The embassy called in the local police when Mr. McLean approached them with the forged documents on Wednesday. He was detained.

Things nuh regulah! Lorri Alexander passes away!

Lorri Alexander

Journalist, commentator and well-known personality Lorri Alexander died yesterday afternoon at the St Joseph Mercy Hospital after being in a coma for the past two weeks.

His wife of over 19 years, Paula Alexander, last evening told Stabroek News that her 73-year-old husband died very peacefully at around 2:15 pm. In recent years he was well known for the Miss African Heritage pageants he organised and the cultural event at Parliament to commemorate Emancipation.

His wife said that about a year ago he fell and hit his head and he never really recovered. For years he had been suffering from diabetes but late last year it really took a toll on him. Three months ago he suffered a stroke and it was exactly two weeks yesterday that he fell into a coma and was admitted to the hospital. He never regained consciousness.
