HARDTALK ON THE ROAD - GUYANA 26 03 2024

#BBC

[@spersaud9957]

Have any of you seen this "journalist" interview someone. He uses that condescending tone many a time. Gesticulating during a conversation is not disrespectful. It helps to emphasize what the speaker is saying and shows the level of seriousness of their words. We all do it, some more prominently than others. You need to be impartial but based on the name of this channel, many may not be when it comes to this country and the realities it is facing.

[@haymankhan2913]

Sister is right ,it's Guyana's time.

[@gtviewer]

This man and some of the upper class people he interviewed stink of post colonial entitlement. Some valid points but he has a nauseous better than thou approach. The UK and it's allies went above and beyond to divide and leave a young independent Guyana disadvantaged.

[@neilramcharran4457]

Those who speak to carbon emissions must first take the moat out of their own eyes before seeking to remove the beam from others’! The old polluters America, Britain’s North Sea exploration and the Middle East are producing without talk of carbon emissions by the way has Norway stopped? Bye the bye Britain must be peeved that British Guiana now independent Guyana was a British colony still.

[@AS-kx4bl]

The usual response from ignoramuses. So because they jumped off the cliff, Guyana must jump too. Makes no sense. Know better in the 21ST century, so DO BETTER. Be That better example to the world.

[@lesteralbertharrison9828]

WOW, How you are one of the beneficiaries it's better f its capped and be paid or it than to work at 2%.

[@kevinhaniff]

How can the BBC be fair and impartial?

[@benkhan2908]

BBC is always providing fake news. Not many people watch BBC in the UK. Especially. because you have to purchase a license to watch BBC. I hope the Guyanese people understand this.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF GUYANA IS IN ITS EMBRYONIC PHASE. EVERY THING TAKES TIME.WHAT THE LEADERS OF GUYANA HAVE TO BE PRUDENT AND DISCIPLINE IN MANAGING THE COUNTRY RESOURCES.

[@trickydicky90]

A well respected journalist who doesn't shy away from asking tough questions, glad to see these types of programs. Guyana is going places but needs to be aware of the environment as well as the risks from internal and external forces is the take away message.

[@floyarde7653]

So true

[@ameeliaramotar8450]

What are the bigger countries doing? Ask them how are they contributing to the eco system and climate cha ges.

[@dennisbalgobin461]

Really, why not ask Britain some hard questions? How did they accumulate their wealth? How much fossil fuel does Britain use annually? Where does it come from? Do they have any plans to atone for the crimes they've perpetrated on the 3rd world?

[@gagamba9198]

But he does more than ask questions. He badgers, he berates, he interrupts. Worst of all, he doesn't listen. Notice he's constantly looking at his notes for the next gotcha.

[@shobishobi1160]

What does the west want? Really, you want the so-called 3rf world countries to beg for loans and depend on unrealistic western imperialist ideology.

[@glendonkhanai277]

The president bread well buttered...he and his BOSS

[@dianaclark9169]

The West needs us and we need them. Guyana needs to say to the West how will you compensate us if we continue to maintain a pristine environment and reduce the carbon emissions that oil exploration will bring - keeping in mind our country's goals and aspirations to not remain a third world country?

[@alistarmanley607]

The president of exxon watching the reporter in his eyes and lying frankingly yes every orther country in the world they get 10%royalty but give guyana 2% that robbery at its highest level or and i for got without a gun and a mask as well 😂

[@traderboi2662]

PNC signed the contract and took the 20 million dollar bribe!

[@briopalumpus8676]

amd in case of an oil spill exxon will be legally exempt , meaning guyana will peak the tab for the clean up which can take years and cost billions.

The interview with President is edited. This is the tail end of a longer interview where the President kept calm for quite some time before checking this reporter. Creative editing BBC but low transparency. Do better.

How are all of those people making money by being ambitious or by just having a job? Plus, it is the taxpayers money that the government politicians is spending and using for the benefit of its cronies and themselves. And the taxpayers are left with nothing.

[@cookingwithmadho1118]

This journalist is hypocritical. He asks Guyana about oil exploration in the context of Paris COP Conventions when there are so many oil producing countries that have polluted for decades if not centuries. Furthermore, in a previous episode featuring Trinidad and Tobago's Energy Minister he asked that person what would T&T do with extra access to natural gas markets? So he is not a good journalist, as that line of questioning is biased an reserved for for er colonies from the Developing world. Furthermore, Dutch Disease did not happen to all oil-producing nations. Whilst T&T didn't manage its economy perfectly, oil revenue was used for genuine development for decades. So I am confused about the subliminal narrative that Guyana will fail! Guyana's time has come to generate much deserved wealth and re-distribution for its people. Why didn't BBC focus on questions on wealth management, and the nature of FDI?
