Guyana’s Head of State, President David Granger, is expected to deliver the Keynote address at a State Dinner in his honour at the Sheraton New York Time Square Hotel & Towers, on Saturday, June 11, 2016.
According to Guyana’s 50th Independence Anniversary Celebration Committee (New York), the Dinner is a part of a spectacular “Guyana Jubilee Week” celebration in New York City, from June 4 – 12, 2016, to commemorate Guyana’s historic Golden Jubilee of Independence.
Guyana gained independence from Great Britain on May 26th 1966.

Also, award-winning Guyanese-American actress, CCH Pounder, will be Mistress of Ceremonies at the State Dinner. Pounder is currently a main act in the hit CBS series, NCIS: NEW ORLEANS. Her movie and television credits include WAREHOUSE 13, SONS OF ANARCHY, ER, LAW & ORDER:SVU, THE SHIELD, AVATAR and her breakout role in BAGDAD CAFÉ , among others.
The black tie and red carpet affair will also be attended by US Federal, State and City officials as well as other Guyanese Hollywood, music and sports celebrities.
Part of the proceeds are from tickets sold. This is NOT the ONLY gov’t to have a State Dinner…where does the money usually come from??!! Taxes, Treasury, loans, etc. If this (dinner) is going to run Guyana into the ground, so be it!!!

All this administration know to do is to spend big. Plundering the treasury for “jump-ups” – living for the moment. The IMF just warned Granger about their out-of-control spending spree and personal salary increases. These people are stealing from the poor. They cut all water and electrical subsidies for the pensioners, institute parking fees for kite flyers, vendors, visitors of Georgetown Hospital, etc. What are they doing with all the money – they increased their personal salaries and is decorating everywhere with green and yellow flags… This is what happens when dunces run a country…
