It’s a new year, and with it comes the government’s reignited commitment toward the “One Guyana” agenda.

It hits home like a knockoff version of our country’s motto – a confusing mirage, that becomes even more confusing in the face of our socio-political and economic realities. I have no idea what President Ali’s pet project is really supposed to mean, and I’m sure its originators don’t either, but I did want to take the opportunity to highlight some of the things that stand out for me as being truly divorced from this wishful ideology.
