Surendra Engineering Company - as Gov’t scraps Specialty Hospital to be blacklisted contract over fraud
By Telesha Ramnarine THE Government of Guyana, having informed Surendra Engineering Company Limited (SECL) that it will be terminating the contract for the construction of the Specialty Hospital, has also signalled its intentions to pursue this “criminal act” and recover the US$4M in public funds that the firm cannot properly account for. This is according to Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon, who spoke with reporters at his regular post-Cabinet press briefing at Office of the President in Georgetown. Last Tuesday, Government issued a statement in which it disclosed its dissatisfaction with SECL in constructing the US$150M Specialty Hospital, but Dr Luncheon yesterday noted that Cabinet has endorsed its commitment to having such a hospital built in Guyana, notwithstanding this unfortunate episode with SECL.
“This matter has been trapped at Cabinet for the past couple of weeks. SECL was contracted by Government to design and build its Specialty Hospital. That was the plan. That, of course, hasn’t happened. As we sit here today, work has ceased at the Turkeyen site,” Dr Luncheon remarked. Leading up to the work stoppage have been differences between the Ministry of Health and SECL. The differences revolved around delays in timelines and the issue of inadequate accountability by SECL for public funds that they received in execution of the contract. The Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago confirmed that SECL issued to the Government of Guyana a forged document. “This forged document purportedly emanated from the central bank and in their confirmation of it being forged, disclaimed in its entirety, any part in its formation, formulation and its submission and hence its use for the purposes it was
tendered by SECL,” Dr Luncheon explained. According to him, the contractors are not the only ones whose default is a matter
Dr Roger Luncheon of concern for stakeholders. “Indeed, it is a fact that supervisory firms have contributed to some of these sad outcomes.” With regard to the amount that SECL cannot properly account for, Dr Luncheon said: “This is US$4M that is not protected. We don’t have a bond to protect that. US$4M
has been given to them. This is their mobilisation. There was a bond. There was a point in time when this money was secured but there is no bond now and what the fraud that was attempted sought to do was to have another bond put in place to secure our money. “We will concede that our US$4M is unsecured. It was not always unsecured. When the contract was executed, they had bonds issued by Caricom here but over the period of the construction work, the bond lapsed and they were unable to get Caricom to reissue bonds under the circumstances that they found comfortable. They probably didn’t feel they wanted to
pay what Caricom was offering and other conditions so they went further afield and crossed over into the realm of wrongdoing.” Luncheon indicated that SECL would be blacklisted in Guyana following its impact on other contracts here that will require scrutiny. “I’m willing to concede it is unfinished business but heightened oversight would minimally be what is required,” he said. Since late June 2014, the Government said it had been engaging SECL on a number of issues regarding allegation of fraud and financial irregularities. “Initially, the Government’s concerns related to
delayed milestones and inadequate accountability by SECL for public funds the company had received on signing the contract with the Ministry of Health. Subsequently, the Government discovered that SECL’s representative in Guyana had submitted a fraudulent document purporting to emanate from the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago,” the Government said in its statement. Since the fraudulent act by SECL was confirmed by the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago, the Government has written SECL informing the company of its intention to scrap the contract.

AG says Jagdeo’s only advice is deal with Surendra ‘condignly’
FORMER President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo has been fingered as having a hand in the award of certain contracts to Surendra Engineering Company Limited (SECL), an assertion that was emphatically rejected by Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Mr. Anil Nandlall. In an invited comment yesterday, Nandlall said, “I do not know of any connection between the former President and this company.” SECL’s contract for the design and construction of the Specialty Hospital has been terminated by the Government after what it termed “deep concerns” over the execution of the contract, both as it relates to technical shortcomings and suspicion of fraud. The AG noted that Dr. Jagdeo’s involvement has been to advice strong action against the offending contractor. “He has been very firm that first, all steps be taken to deal with this contractor in a condign manner and second, that we do everything to proceed with the Specialty HosDr. Bharrat Jagdeo pital,” Nandlall said. He also acknowledged that the former President’s input, from time to time, is sought by the current Administration. Dr. Jagdeo is also a member of the ruling party’s Executive and Central Committees.

Gov’t committed to delivering Specialty Hospital – AG
By Vanessa Narine
GOVERNMENT is moving towards legal recourse following the termination of the contract with Surendra Engineering Company Limited (SECL) for the design and construction of the Specialty Hospital. Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Mr. Anil Nandlall told a news conference yesterday that the contractor, SECL, has “failed abysmally” and as such the Government has decided to take remedial actions. “Both at the level of technical deficiencies as well as at the level of failing to provide fundamental requirements of the contract, this contractor has abysmally failed. Therefore the Government of Guyana has decided to take remedial actions,” Nandlall told reporters. The Government of Guyana on Tuesday announced its intention to move against SECL’s after citing what it termed “deep concerns” over the execution of the contract, both as it relates to technical shortcomings and suspicion of fraud. According to Nandlall, the course of actions to be taken will include: termination of the contract; engaging the police and requesting an investigation into the alleged fraud; and pursuing civil litigation against the company for compensation, damages and breach of contract. He also said if there is a move to litigation, which will be done in Guyana, it is possible that enforcement will have to take place in India, but assured that the process is not expected to be an expensive process. “Efforts were made to rectify certain technical deficiencies, but those efforts proved futile. On the other hand part of the contract requirement was the provision of certain securities that would have guaranteed certain performance… the documents, when they were examined, did not withstand scrutiny,” the AG said. CONFIRMED FRAUD The Government of Guyana, since June this year, had been engaging SECL on a number of issues regarding al-

legations of fraud and financial irregularities. Initially, the Government’s concerns related to delayed milestones and inadequate accountability by SECL for public funds the company had received on signing the contract with the Ministry of Health. Subsequently, the Government of Guyana discovered that SECL’s representative in Guyana had submitted a fraudulent document purporting to emanate from the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago. The fraudulent Act by SECL has since been confirmed by the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago. “Contact was made with the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago, which confirmed, first by telephone and then in writing that the document produced did not come from Trinidad and Tobago,” the AG said. Nandlall said, too, that the Trinidad and Tobago Central Bank has launched an investigation and the Government of Guyana is assisting in any way it can. “I know that the Central Bank has activated a process to investigate how their procedures could have been misused, manipulated and penetrated in this manner,” the Guyanese Attorney General said. “We have promised the people of this country and we engaged a process to have that achieved. We were working with the Indian Exim Bank and to some extent the Government of India. That process produced a procurement exercise and from that exercise this contractor was selected. From the inception, Indian Exim Bank, as part of its conditionalities, shortlisted a number of contractors who were required to submit bids…that process produced Surendra Engineering Company Limited as the most suitable contractor for this job,” Nandlall told reporters. He added that the Government of Guyana was fortunate to have been able to act in a timely manner to address this issue.
TIMELINE SECL’s contract for the design and construction of the Specialty Hospital began in September 2012, having bid US$18.1M. As per the normal procurement process, a five per cent security had to have been deposited. The Attorney-General explained that this was done via a security guarantee by CARICOM Insurance. “It is in lieu of cash that bonds and documents of that security nature are accepted. This is a standard way of satisfying contractual obligations. This was done, first by CARICOM Insurance,” the AG said. In March this year, CARICOM Insurance withdrew its guarantee of the project, following expressed concerns over financial irregularities, at which time no additional monies were released to the contractor. “At this time another source (a guarantor) was sought…when CARICOM withdrew, we withheld payment. We were not paying, until you have another person to guarantee us your performance, as well as the monies we’re going to pay to you,” Nandlall said. As a result, SECL moved to secure another guarantor, at which time the contractor submitted fraudulent documents. Both prior to and after the submission of these fraudulent documents, no payments were made to the contractor; although monies were requested for work done. SECL stopped work in June 2014. “On various grounds and for various reasons this contractor is no longer deemed suitable to continue with this contract,” Nandlall said. The Attorney-General pointed out that prior to the March 2014 expiration of the guarantee by CARICOM Insurance, a total of US$4.2M was paid to the contractor, US$3.36M of which was a mobilisation advance – in total 23.5 per cent of the entire

has happened in this case points clearly to the need for a Public Procurement Commission to better regulate and oversee the award of contracts,” the AFC said. To this end, the party also called on the current Administration to ensure full enforcement of Guyana’s Constitution and laws. The Government of Guyana on Tuesday announced its intention to move against SECL after citing what it termed “deep concerns” over the execution of the contract, both as it relates to technical shortcomings and suspicion of fraud. SECL’s contract for the design and construction of the Specialty Hospital began in September 2012, having bid US$18.1M.
contract sum. Reports indicated that to date, the structural designs for the project have been completed, while the architectural designs are currently being reviewed. Physical progress has been seen on the essential site preparation which is some 75 per cent completed. On the building foundations 361 piles have been supplied and 235 piles have been driven. Nandlall stressed that, in all fairness, the monies paid over must be measured against the significant portion of work that was completed. “Very shortly we will have to go on the ground and measure how much we have lost, if we have lost…having regard to the amount of work that was done,” he said. Additionally, a 12-month contract was been inked with consultant, VIKAB Engineering Consultants Limited, which was the company working with a local evaluation team that uncovered the irregularities and contract violations that forced the termination of the SECL engagement on the Specialty Hospital. NEXT STEP The Indian Exim Bank, which extended a line of credit that contributed significantly to the realisation of the project, the Government of Indian and other development partners have been apprised of the situation and are expected to be engaged on the way forward. The Attorney-General said, “The Indian High Commission and the Indian Ministry of External Affairs are both involved in this process. We have been
informing them of the developments as they unfold.” He noted that the Government will be unable to unilaterally determine on the way forward. “The better course would be to have a consultative process to arrive at a common course forward. It would be premature to speculate on what such a procedure is… it is a multiparty process that involves other persons whose input would be requisite in determining the way forward,” Nandlall said. WILL DELIVER Meanwhile, Health Minister Dr. Bheri Ramsaran was emphatic is stressing the commitment of the Government of Guyana and, by extension, his Ministry to deliver on the promise of a Specialty Hospital. “Even as we take action to terminate the current contract, the Ministry of Health assures that it will explore ways and means to deliver on the promise of the Specialty Hospital. The details of this will evolve,” he said.
The Minster stressed the Ministry is focused on value for money. “ According to Dr. Ramsaran, the decision to terminate the contract with SECL was made after lengthy consultation and investigation into several discrepancies on the part of the contractor. “After having for some protracted time, a review of the situation on the status of the Specialty Hospital and more particularly the situation with the contractors, we have decided to terminate the contract and to do certain other things,” Dr. Ramsaran said. The Health Minister noted that the Government of Guyana will be taking legal recourse to recover any damage or outstanding obligations that the contractor have, as per contract. At the same time, the Health Minister reassured that the administration will be taking every action to ensure a specialty hospital is constructed. “Even as we take these steps to terminate this contact we continue to explore ways and means to ensure that the commitment to Guyanese is fulfilled sooner rather than later,” Minister Ramsaran said.

HPS postpones retirement
Speeding car lands in East Canje Chinese restaurant
HEAD of the Presidential Secretariat Dr. Roger Luncheon has put his option of retirement at the end of 2014 on hold. Speaking to members of the Press Corps yesterday after his post-Cabinet press briefing, he indicated that the move by the political Opposition to table and pass a no-confidence motion in the government has forced him to delay his retirement plans. “My plan has certainly been altered by this no confidence motion and its likely
The speeding car landed in the Chinese restaurant
A DRIVER, who was allegedly drunk and travelling above the speed limit, collided with a food stall before damaging a gatepost, a gate and the dining area of a Chinese restaurant, after he failed to stop at the five corner junction at East Canje in Berbice. The incident which occurred at about 17:40hrs on Monday resulted after the driver failed to stop at the eastern intersection. Instead, eyewitnesses said, the motorist accelerated toward the western lane, where he collided with a food stall, but not before pedestrians in the area ran for safety. The out-of-control car then crashed into the metal gatepost and the northern wall of the restaurant before colliding into tables and chairs, wreaking widespread damage. Meanwhile, the alleged driver, Chetram Ramkissoon, of East Bank Berbice was soon arrested, and taken into police custody. Sources said the suspect denied that he was behind the wheel. Instead, he claimed that he had parked his car to make a purchase when someone drove it away. SUPERBIKE CRASH However, this is not the
first instance that a vehicle has crashed into the Chinese restaurant. On September 13, 2012, Jarvis De Freitas called ‘Jarvy’ of 5 Strand, New Amsterdam, and of Theatre Alley, N/A, died after his Yamaha superbike crashed into the restaurant while he was drag racing with another biker. The 28-year-old father of one was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident at around 01:00hr. De Freitas was employed as a seaman with the Branken Towing and Salvaging Company (BTS). According to information, De Freitas and some friends were drinking at a beer garden at Cumberland, East Canje when they decided to indulge in drag racing. The men took off at a terrific speed and De Freitas was unable to properly negotiate the double-crossing Canje turn. His bike was propelled between two utility posts, then over a drain, before crashing through a fence and ripping a wooden shed before coming to rest at the back of the Chinese Restaurant. The mangled remains of De Freitas was found nearby. However he was taken to the New Amsterdam Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
outcome,” he stated. D r. L u n c h e o n h a d planned to give up his role in government due to ill health. A few months ago, he had announced that he was suffering from cancer and had opted to not have any treatment administered. “I may or I may not live up, both literally and figuratively, to this outcome of the no confidence motion, but if they have elections I would like to have the last opportunity to lay my wares out to the Guyanese public,”
Dr. Roger Luncheon Dr. Luncheon said. He added that if there are no early elections, then he will stick to his retirement plan.

Umana Yana to be rebuilt soon – Minister Anthony By Asif Hakim THE Umana Yana which was gutted by fire on Tuesday afternoon is to be rebuilt soon, according to the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony. However, a definitive date has not yet been decided, because members of the Wai Wai tribe who had constructed the original structure, will have to come and give an estimated cost before it could be included in the 2015 National Budget. The minister said that the Wai Wais would have from
time to time done repairs to the structure; he said that they are the experienced ones and that the trees that yield the branches used to construct the benab are not grown in Georgetown. ‘We will have to contact the Wai Wais through the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs for them to come give us an estimated cost; they will also have to go into St. Cutberts Mission which is on the highway for them to get the special leafs,” the Minister said. Just after the razing of the historic structure on Tuesday, the Minister told the media that funds for its
re-construction will be included in next year’s 2015 National budget. After the fire on that day, he said that that it is a devastating loss to the nation and it also happened during the month when Amerindians are celebrating. He said that they will be working with the Guyana Fire Service to determine what caused the fire, since preliminary investigations are saying that it might be electrical. The minister also thanked the Guyana Fire Service for its prompt response and added that he is happy
No-confidence motion triggers electoral activities By Telesha Ramnarine CABINET Secretary, Dr. Roger Luncheon yesterday reiterated that the submission of the Alliance For Change’s (AFC) no-confidence motion in the administration, with its subsequent support by the main opposition, has led to heightened electoral activities at the grassroots. He was speaking at his weekly post-Cabinet press conference at the Office of the President, Shiv Chanderpaul Drive, Georgetown. “That heightened focus
on the general elections, local government elections; they increasingly led to questions of GECOM’s readiness, GECOM’S preparedness. The verdict is still out on that score but rather than wait, stakeholders have quickly gotten together and having conceded that urgency exists, they have been responding to calls for action,” Luncheon observed. Stakeholders’ collective focus has been on strengthening GECOM, providing support, and enabling project activity. “Specifically, a stronger GECOM instilling confi-
dence among stakeholders in its management of elections, the results of elections, remain one of the intentions behind the support that is being offered,” Luncheon said. He added that firm commitments have been made by the EU Delegation, by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), all of whom in one way or the other have recognised the importance of strengthening GECOM.
160 Amerindian communities to benefit from US$6.3M GRIF project By Telesha Ramnarine ONE hundred and sixty Amerindian communities will soon benefit from a US$6.3M Phase Two Amerindian Development Fund (ADF) GRIF Project, Secretary to the Cabinet Dr Roger Luncheon informed the media yesterday. He was speaking at his weekly post-Cabinet press briefing at the Office of the President, Shiv Chanderpaul Drive, Georgetown. According to him, the GRIF steering committee recently approved the phase two project document which made provision for the communities to access the sum to meet the expenditure that they would incur in executing their community development plans. The ADF was established to provide support for the socio-economic and environmental development of Amerindian communities and villages. Micro-capital grants are made available to Amerindian communities and villages through the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) Guyana REDD+ Investment Fund (GRIF). “One hundred and sixty Amerindian communities - they have evolved over time community development plans addressing socio-economic development in the communities, and of course the well-being of the residents in those communities,” remarked Luncheon. This phase two follows the phase one pilot programme, whose successful completion in 27 Amerindian communities essentially paved the way for the phase two activities that would benefit these additional communities.

is still in progress; but the preliminary investigation so far indicates that the cause may be electrical, since there had been problems from time to time with the electrical wiring. The officer confirmed that the fire had started from the top of the benab before it
had got to the stage and then ravaged the entire structure. He said that the fire extinguisher was used by security personnel who were on duty in the compound; two security officers were reportedly injured and were taken to the GPHC for treatment.

EDITORIAL Compromising the truth ANYONE who has been the victim of lies fabricated to destroy his credibility, for whatever purpose, knows how painful and destructive to the soul every instance of such experiences can be. And there are still persons with oldworld morality who refuse to become embroiled in ugly confrontations with protagonists who engineer situations designed to destroy the credibility and character of those who have greater visions and whose energies and resources are directed to more productive endeavours. While there is hardly any human being in the world who has not told an untruth at some time or the other, even if it is to protect themselves or others, there are those who concoct fabrications with such utter cleverness – not for any great or grand purpose, but for destructive ones. Rumour-mongers are prime examples of those whom are titillated by fabricating and spreading destructive tales, or who compromise with the truth to such an extent that it becomes a greater reality
than the truth. It is inconceivable and unconscionable the lengths some would go to destabilise the efforts and endeavours of others. A case in point is the unending litany of fabrications by Christopher Ram and the Opposition elements, including the ‘opposition media’, whose animosity for Guyana’s former president, Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, knows no bounds, and whose envy of a man who strides tall in the national and global arena has clearly been the causative factor for their loss of logicality and reason, to the extent that they are prepared to destroy every national developmental initiative that he has conceptualised, driven, and/or implemented.. Christopher Ram once had ambitions of becoming Guyana’s President through appointment. This was the ploy engineered to achieve high office through the back door, since by no stretch of the imagination could he enter any national electoral process and come out a winner. Like all other proponents of the acquisition of office through backdoor methods, this strategy also failed – abysmally, hence the
sour grapes and the constant criticisms, allegations and accusations, on premises almost always grounded in nonsensical suppositions and balderdash. On his own admission he grounds his continuum of accusations on “conjectures.” Publisher of Kaieteur News, Glenn Lall, also admitted to publishing “misinformation” supplied by (Opposition) politicians; and his Editor-in-Chief admitted to publishing untruths about the Finance and Education ministers, among others. They did this when they were cornered, but the harm they have caused this nation can never be undone, certainly not with a few words of forced apology hidden in the back pages of the Kaieteur News in inconspicuous language. Immediately prior to the PPP/C acceding to the Government in October of 1992 no-one thought, certainly not the party that is currently the main Opposition, that this country could have been salvaged from the depths of destitution to which it had sunk prior to this current Government’s election to high office, and it is this consideration more than any
other that led to the first free-and–fair elections - well, sort of, to be held in Guyana in decades. With the inheritance of decayed social and physical infrastructures, and US$2.1 billion dollars of inherited external indebtedness that saw almost l00 percent of national income going to merely service that indebtedness, it became imperative that the new administration source assistance to begin the Herculean feat of restoring some degree of viability to any endeavour at national reconstruction, so that Guyanese could once more have hope for a future lived in their country where living, and not merely existing, could become a probability. This was no mean feat, considering that this country had absolutely lost credibility with financial institutions and the world bodies that determined the criteria and direction of aid to developing countries. But Dr. Cheddi Jagan and his young disciple, then a Junior Minister within the Ministry of Finance, later the respected President of Guyana, Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo,
Don’t unto others…
IT is with great amasement that I read the publisher of Kaieteur News Mr. Glenn Lall contending that the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) is on a “witch-hunt” against him. Mr. Lall along with his Editor-in-Chief Adam Harris on a daily basis perpetuate the same thing he is accusing the GRA of with Kaieteur News. Have you ever paid close attention to some of the stories that are carried by the Kaieteur News; stories that are outlandish, sensational, speculative and are never grounded with facts. Kaieteur News, under the leadership of Mr. Lall, has seen a barrage of attacks on the character and livelihood of persons causing untold suffering and agony to the said persons and their
families, only to satisfy his ‘Witch-hunting’ ambitions. Life has a way of balancing itself out and I guess this is what is happening with Mr. Lall. When he utilised all the nasty tactics to bully and cajole information out of persons and spread misinformation when that information was not obtained, he never once thought to himself what his actions were doing to persons who he interacted with. Now that somebody has stood up to him and is fighting him the same way he fights others he is crying out. He does not want it known that he is involved in nefarious activities or else his lucrative empire of deceit and sensationalism would topple. People believe in genuine persons who champion
the cause of truth but when you fool the people and make them believe that you’re credible and just, when the truth of that deception is uncovered there goes your credibility. This is what Mr. Lall is trying to avoid. He doesn’t want the public to know that his moral compass is more skewed than the persons he accuses of being corrupt and that given the opportunity he would engage in deceit to turn a profit. Hence the reasons why he is involved in a duty free concession scam to rob the Government of more than $100M in taxes for two luxury vehicles that he now claims was never his but he borrowed from his family friends. As if that is not damning enough, Mr. Lall was
GUYANA
again exposed by the GRA in another duty free concession infringement, this time involving the importation of printing inks for his company. He benefited from duty free concessions for the importation of inks thought to have originated form Trinidad but was made abroad and falsified to look as if it was a CARICOM product to benefit from tax exemptions under the revised Treaty of Chaguramas. When these facts are laid before him he cries out “witch-hunt”. Society is no longer falling for those tricks Mr. Lall, and your credibility is on the line! The good book says” “Do unto others what you wish others do unto you!” FARUK MOHAMED
worked indefatigably and finally Guyana is on the road back to prosperity; and while we have a long road to travel to emerge out of the infrastructural, social, and fiscal abyss inherited by this current Government in 1992, Guyana has come far enough that Guyanese are no longer perceived as being on the last rung of the development ladder. Rather, through the superlative efforts of Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo and the PPP/C administration – currently headed by veteran politician Mr. Donald Ramotar, Guyana would remain a largely independent state and not return to the era of colonisation, which would have been the eventuality if the European-driven EPA had not been restructured to accommodate concerns raised and championed by Guyana’s former Head-ofState. But the PPP/C is damned if it does, and damned if it does not, because the oppor-
tunistic posturing of the ambitious contenders for the Presidential portfolio prefer to demoralise than build so that this country of ours could aspire to and achieve the fullness of its potential development dimensions. The Donald Ramotar Government was raring to continue the national development that had been set on a steeply upward trajectory by its predecessor; only to face the vengeful wrath of the Opposition collective, who have been enabled through their parliamentary onevote/one-seat majority to disable Government’s developmental programmes. However, a governmental construct that could rescue and rebuild a devastated Guyana from the ravages of hurricane PNC could certainly strategise to circumvent the socio-economic tsunami driven by Guyana’s Opposition cabal.
If it is a crime for one, then it is a crime for all
I WOULD like to extend commendations to the Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs Mr. Anil Nandlall for his excellent piece that he released to the press pronouncing on the AFC’s leader Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan remarks in the media, saying that government is interfering in the Police investigation of the Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh for his spending of $4.5B that were disapproved by the combined Opposition. Mr. Ramjattan’s sentiments that he was “reliably informed that the Government is in fact interfering
with the investigation, with ranks being told to delay the process” is in its entirety too far flung a reason for him to make such a damning pronouncement, which seems clearly intended to paint the Government and the Guyana Police Force (which he had faith in to levy the complaint) in a bad light. It is for this reason that I praise Mr. Nandlall for his apt and eye opening response rubbishing Mr. Ramjatan’s loose and in the words of the Minister “unsubstantiated” allegations. The AG rightly

Congratulations to the young Jaguars THE recent article in Stabroek News on September 9, 2014 (Matthias must explain his “toothless jaguars” by Mr. Orin Davidson), can be categorised as unpatriotic and very disrespectful to the efforts those young Guyanese players would have exercised. They played their hearts out for their “country”, not Mr. Matthias. And for them to be disrespected and labeled in such a manner is shameful, regrettable and should be condemned by all Guyanese, especially all football patrons. There is nothing, in my opinion, that is embarrassing about the bold and gallant efforts the young Jaguars would have exhibited in their three matches during their sojourn in the Caribbean Football Union’s qualifying competition, if one is to take into consideration the federation’s economic position. Following are comments on a few statements the author of that missive made. Firstly, he posited “... except for Walter Moore, the Jaguars, or as he puts it, the “toothless Jaguars” were devoid even of any of the local born and bred professionals who ply their trade overseas”; a team that comprised all locals, without international exposure, except for one; a team, according to the author, that was an unholy mess in being assembled and equipped for a vital competition, was able to draw in their debut match and were able to sustain goals to two in the matches they were defeated in by teams with a plethora of experience and well-traveled players. Shouldn’t the efforts by those young Guyanese be applauded? Did they not do well under those unfortunate conditions? Did they not do much better than Alpha United, which had a multitude of international players, including the likes of Mills and the seasoned Richardson who, with reference to the author, have a proven affinity for finding the net? Not forgetting the most qualified, experienced and arguably the ‘best coach’ in Guyana, Mr. Wayne Dover. Were these characters not aces? Was their performance better than the “toothless Jaguars”? The learned author posited “instead of admitting he (Matthias) was unable to raise the money necessary to properly fund the Jaguars for the C.F.U series, he and his people have been spouting lots of balderdash about developing local players instead”. Wow! If this is indeed so, what is wrong with advocating and making representation for local footballers’ development? It is no secret that the GFF is in a financial abyss and raising money for football is no easy task. The prominent owner and president of the Alpha F.C. several weeks ago vehemently expressed the difficulty he was faced with in garnering financial support from the business community to help offset expenses for his team during their quest to qualify and advance in the CONCACAF Champion League. If one is cognisant of the GFF’s financial position and posits that in order to compete internationally requires solid funding to pay players and cover transportation expenses from their bases abroad, then how can they, in the same breath, chastise the administration for not having overseas players? Is this not a confused individual? To aid the various administrations of sports teams in achieving their set goals and objectives, all of the efforts to advance the various disciplines should be encouraged. Moreover, when our fellow countrymen and countrywomen leave our borders to represent this land, their efforts should be celebrated and respected by all Guyanese. Well done, Guyana Jaguars.

Salary Relativities and the Quality of our Education System REFERENCE is made to the comprehensive letter from my very special colleague, Mr. E. B. John, of 6th September, titled: “Rewards for Success” in which he compares the salary structures between the Public Service and the Teaching Service. Through the accompanying tables Mr. John rightly underscored the contrasting financial disadvantages portrayed for the teachers, which are exacerbated by the lack of any “official commendation” for the reported “gloated achievements” in the recent examination results in public schools: And, as if to add insult to injury, “official commendation” was profusely showered on the “administrators of education”. I now wish to add that the situation described by Mr. John is indeed more acute when one compares the current salary scales of teachers with the compensation (and benefits) of other categories of staff in the private sector, for whom the required competencies, responsibilities, outputs, decision-making, consequences of underperformance and other related compensable factors are significantly less than for counterparts in the teaching profession. When we add to this the anachronistic management style which the Chief Education Officer has promised to subject our hapless teachers (ref. my recent letter to the editor), then we cannot but feel very concerned about the quality of our education system and the future generation of Guyanese. NOWRANG PERSAUD
If it is a crime for one... From Page 6 pointed out that not one iota of evidence was put forward suggesting that the government interfered in any process and, quite frankly, if Mr. Ramjattan was “reliably” informed, it means he is operating on the assumption of hearsay and using that for the basis for your argument is indeed irresponsible. Moreover, when I read the AG’s response, it dawned upon me that if Dr. Singh is guilty of committing a crime then every single member, including Speaker of the National Assembly and the combined Opposition is guilty of aiding, abetting and conspiring to commit the same crime.
The reason I say this is because, as the AG factually pointed out, the same actions that were taken by the Finance Minister to restore parts of the budget even though it was disapproved in 2014, was taken in 2012 and 2013 and were never challenged. It is therefore bewildering that the Opposition parties would come and say to the people of Guyana that the restorations made by the Finance Minister are “illegal” when they assented to restorations that were disapproved in 2012 and 2013. So if the combined Opposition (the AFC and APNU) seems so hell bent on articulating that a “crime” was committed then they themselves are guilty of sup-
porting such “crimes” as it happened in 2012 and 2013. I think the Guyanese people are smart enough to understand the political games that the AFC and APNU are playing and know that at the end of the day, with all the cuts and disapprovals, we are the ones that suffer. Just ask the sugar workers, the University of Guyana students, the Amerindians, just to name a few who felt the direct blows of the cuts levied at the hands of the combined Opposition in the 2014 budget. Nothing happens in isolation of the other and when one sector or part is denied growth, then we are all collectively stagnated. STEPHEN KISSOON

Police Force emblem on Commissioner’s vehicle…
Seelall says law doesn’t prohibit it … Minister Rohee sees nothing wrong with it
By Leroy Smith HOME Affairs Minister, Clement Rohee on Monday said that as, far as he is aware, there is nothing wrong with Commissioner of Police(ag), Seelall Persaud using the emblem of the Guyana Police Force on the vehicle issued to him for official use. However, at the time he directed all questions on the matter to the Commissioner himself. The Home Affairs Minister was asked on Monday by reporters to comment on the matter which made the front page of a newspaper over the weekend. “I don’t know that anything is wrong with that but I know as far as I can recall it is only the President and the Head of the GDF that has that kind of facility,” the Minister said. According to Rohee, the
best person to ask is the Police Commissioner. He also said that since he assumed the post of Minister of Home Affairs he cannot remember any other Top Cop using the emblem on his official vehicle. Meanwhile, in an invited comment on Tuesday, Commissioner of Police (ag), Seelall Persaud when asked if he sees a problem with having the police force emblem on his vehicle, promptly responded, “I see a problem with breaches of the law.” Asked how the emblem was put on the vehicle, the Commissioner explained that it was the police who placed it there as no one outside of the force would do so. The Top Cop said that he did not see that placing the emblem on his official vehicle as being unprecedented and sought to explain the significance of it being placed there. He added that
he would have to check the history of the Police Force to see if such a step is indeed unprecedented. He also told reporters that the law does not prohibit the use of the emblem on the vehicle, and assured that it would not be seen moving around the country on journeys without his approval. Seelall said the vehicle would be seen whenever he is travelling in it but whenever he is not using the vehicle it would be parked unless he sanctions the journey. He further stated that despite the fact that there are two service vehicles issued to him, it is only the Land Cruiser Prado which has the emblem of the Police Force on it; the other vehicle bears a number plate with a registration number. The Top Cop, assuring that there will be no form of abuse of the privileges of
the vehicle moving around with the emblem, told re-
… jury hears at murder trial
INSPECTOR Ramesh Singh, officer-in-charge of the police patrol, who ordered Quancy John (now murder accused) to arrest Kelvin Fraser (now deceased), yesterday told Justice Franklyn Holder and a mixed jury that the arrest in June 2010 was justified. The Inspector was allowed to give his evidence from a chair in the well of the court because he has a fractured leg. He said that on the day in question, he and a party of policemen, including the accused, Quancy John, were detailed to visit the Patentia Secondary School where there was an unrest caused by
young men allegedly smoking marijuana and interfering with female teachers, according to a report received from Head Teacher, Mrs. Gloria Gobin. The prosecution led by Miss Diana Kaulesar has set out to lead evidence to support her contention that the shooting that caused the death of Kelvin Fraser was deliberate. But under cross-examination by defence counsel, Mr. Glenn Hanoman, the witness was asked if a policeman who is armed with a gun and an attempt is made to disarm him, whether that gives him the right to shoot. The witness after deliberating for some time replied
that it would depend on the circumstances, then added, “Yes.” The prosecutrix is saying that up to now, there was no evidence that the deceased had attempted to disarm anyone. The prosecution had objected to the defence lawyer putting certain questions to the witness, using him as an expert and forgetting that the deceased was only 16 years at the time of the incident. At this stage, defence counsel asked the witness, ”Do you agree that a 16-yearold young man who takes away a gun from a policeman could be just as dangerous as an adult who takes away a gun from a policeman?

However, the witness did not answer. Defence counsel next asked the witness, “Do you know of young boys shooting big guns? Witness: “No Sir.” Counsel to witness “Where are you living?” In answer to further questions under cross-examination witness denied that the firearm issued to the accused that day was defective and declared, “I would not issue a defective firearm to any rank.” Witness added, “I gave orders to the accused to effect arrest when I was at Patentia Secondary. I feel justified in giving this order in relation to reports that I had received.” The hearing is continuing.
Guyanese man found dead in St. Lucia guest house
ABOUT 17:30 hrs on Tuesday, officers attached to the Gros Islet Police Station in St. Lucia received a report of a lifeless male on a bed at a guesthouse on Marie Therese Street in Gros Islet.

Granger’s ultimatum for Local Gov’t elections is a political strategy - according to Luncheon
OPPOSITION Leader, David Granger’s letter to President Donald Ramotar seeking to have Local Government Elections called on or before September 15 is being viewed as a political strategy and not necessarily as an ultimatum. Head of the Presidential Secretariat and Secretary to the Cabinet, Dr. Roger Luncheon said so yesterday at his post-Cabinet news conference at the Office of the President. He reported how the matter was discussed at the most recent meeting of Cabinet last Tuesday. “You will soon be hearing of an effort, an attempt, by
the governing party, definitely by the Administration, to have this kind of engagement with Mr. Granger to bring clarity to what he actually, in his very brief letter, is seeking to have done, and to establish what he is really getting at when this proposal, what he called for, his demands, surfaced,” Luncheon remarked. “What does the Leader of the Opposition really want? Because we know that he knows what we know. Everybody knows that. So he can’t call for the impossible. The Messiah ain’t coming tomorrow, so why would he ask President Ramotar to do the impossible? There is a reason and we need to inquire what that reason or reasons are,”
said Luncheon. Granger wrote in his letter to the President: “We remind you that the Local Authorities (Elections) (Amendment) Bill, at its second reading on 2014.02.10, was debated and passed 'As amended,' directing that elections be held on or before 1st August 2014. Granger’s letter had said that failing an announcement by President Ramotar to call elections by September 15 will result in the Opposition taking lawful action to mobilise national and international support in defence of local democracy, the Constitution and the rights of the Guyanese people.
GRA, Glenn Lall accusing each other of being on a ‘witch hunt’ THE Guyana Chronicle’s disclosure that the publisher of Kaieteur News, Glenn Lall, may yet again be at the centre of an alleged duty-free infringement, has resulted in a response in the local daily, which charges that the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) is on a “witch hunt” intended to silence the newspaper. The Kaieteur News’ article headlined ‘Cover-up of duty free concessions… GRA pursues witch-hunt against Glenn Lall – Publisher says Sattaur displays an inability to manage the agency in a transparent manner’, states that: “The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) is continuing its witch-hunt against Kaieteur News to silence the newspaper in its investigations. “…the offence by GRA started after questions were asked about the appropriateness of Sattaur’s three children working at the agency. It would also follow questions posed to Sattaur over details about the duty free concessions granted to Bai Shan Lin, a Chinese logging company that is under fire for its questionable agreements with Government.” However, speaking on the condition of anonymity, a current GRA staffer, who has provided the leaks on the two
major tax scams, involving Lall, to this newspaper, stated that all of Mr. Sattuar’s children are in receipt of the entitlement of mortgage interest relief from the GRA, as a result of the Government's introduction of the relief to qualify as first time home owners from a rebate in part payment of the interest on the mortgage payment. “Mr. Lall, having exposed the children's income in his newspaper, would appear now to be oblivious of the fact that they are substantial income earners in their own right. The three children of whom the publisher of the newspaper would appear to be maliciously and unwarrantedly targeting since over two months ago can stand up to scrutiny,” the GRA source said. As such, the GRA staffer added that the same questions are now being asked of this alleged “tax thief.” “Questions may well be asked of him whether he has not also been cheating on his company's corporate taxes in order to fund the two luxury vehicles costing in excess of $18M each and which were recently seized, in addition to funding the massive investment that his daughter would appear to be

engaged in her name in setting up the candy manufacturing business bearing her name and that of the newspaper,” the senior GRA source added. Additionally, as it relates to the investigation of the alleged tax evasion, the Guyana Chronicle was informed that the necessary verification requests are still with the relevant authorities in Trinidad and Tobago. Only days after being fingered in an alleged remigrant Glenn Lall duty-free concession scam, Lall has allegedly evaded taxes, in that his company has, for over a decade now, been importing printing ink and passed them off as products of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), so as to enjoy duty-free concessions for those importations.
Two of the yachts that came on the first Nereid rally last year
-second Nereid’s rally being hosted
WITH more than seven yachts already in Guyana, and an estimated 12 to participate in the second Nereid’s Yachting Rally hosted by Guyana, Suriname and Saint Laurent, French Guiana, this event promises to be yet another success, paving the way for tremendous opportunities in the local tourism industry. During an interview with the Government Information Agency (GINA) yesterday, Guyana Tourism Authority’s (GTA) Director Indranauth Haralsingh said that Guyana has remarkable opportunities
for yachting, not only for its scenic beauty, but a very competitive market in terms of clearance, entry procedures and fees. In September 2013, about 25 yachts sailed into the Essequibo River in the first Nereid’s Yachting Rally. The Caribbean is the number one cruise market in the world, and Guyana is considered a safe haven for yachts. Essequibo is the third largest river in South America, and with Guyana being south of Trinidad and out of the hurricane zone, it is a safe haven for yachting.
Haralsingh said that yachting presents numerous opportunities for investors to spend on either marinas, or boat or dock yards. “You can imagine the number of jobs that can be created; this can lead to a lot of investments, attracting foreign currency and eventually attracting thousands of yachts to Guyana; and then persons storing their yachts can come and sail off from here to elsewhere in the Caribbean,” Haralsingh further noted. As part of the Nereid’s Yachting Rally, there will be a reception today for
the yachters, followed by a beach party on Sunday at the Hurakabra Resort at a cost of US $75, US$60 and US$35. This includes lunch and transportation and tickets can be uplifted at the Minis-
try of Tourism, Oasis Café and Nigel’s Supermarket. The beach party is also part of the wider activities organised by the Tourism Ministry in the Essequibo region, complementing Leguan
and Wakenaam nites. Activities include beach volley ball, lime and spoon race, watermelon competition and a tour to the mega yacht among others. (GINA)

Education, Amerindian Affairs Ministries delivering quality services to hinterland students
HINTERLAND education is bridging the gap in education delivery in Guyana; and both the Ministry of Education (MoE) and the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs (MoAA) are playing key roles in this regard. Currently, a series of projects and programmes are being implemented that would benefit hinterland development. The Hinterland Education Improvement Project (HEIP) is listed in that series. Launched with an outlook to improve the quality of teacher education in the hinterland, HEIP aligns teaching and learning resources with improved student outcomes, and im-
The objective of the scholarship programme is to provide students from hinterland communities with quality secondary or technical education, and to allow integration of hinterland students into the wider Guyanese society. The programme offers two types of scholarships:- Secondary School Scholarships and Technical Scholarships SCHOOLS The institutions in hinterland communities consist of a quality learning environment with modern facilities. Also,
TRAINED TEACHERS The number of trained teachers has increased from 40 percent in 1994 to 51 percent in 2014. Hinterland teachers are being sustained through the learning resource centres, with teacher accommodation which includes teachers’ housing. Youth Entrepreneurial and Apprenticeship Programme (YEAP) This programme aims to enhance the competence and capabilities of those youths who were not successful in gaining scholarships. The Youth Entrepreneurship and Apprenticeship Programme (YEAP) trains hinterland youths in the areas of health, education, infrastructure, cultural and youth development, and Information Communication Technology, subjects which are beneficial to their respective village development, thus helping to bridge the digital gap that exists between the hinterland and the coastal areas. INFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
The Hon. Priya Manickchand, Minister of Education, with some young students of the hinterland proved physical facilities through fostering better community alliances. HINTERLAND SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME Over the last 20 years, the Hinterland Scholarship Programme has produced 7,000 students. In 2014, Region 7 registered the second highest number of students in the programme (80). Scholarships are offered annually, and this programme has been a tremendous boon to a number of students who are experiencing financial difficulties and would not have been able to make it on their own.
there are trained and equipped teachers who help in delivering improved education to students. Thus the completion of the Port Kaituma dormitory and the Hosororo Primary school building, the construction of a primary school at Canal Bank, and sanitary blocks at Kwebana, Karaburi, Koko and Bumbury nursery schools all redound to improved education for hinterland students. From 14 nursery schools in the hinterland in 1994, that number increased to 116 in 2014. Primary schools increased from 111 to 139, and secondary schools increased from five to 12. Region Nine is the region with the most schools.
Aided by the YEAP incentive, hinterland youth would have the knowledge of technology, which is beneficial with the completion of 100 computer centres in several Amerindian communities this past June. The project is aimed at breaking the knowledge barrier that exists between coastland students and those from the hinterland. Youths from the hinterland would participate in the extension of ICT development in Guyana, and would be able to socialise in a computer literate society and to keep up with technological advancements. The Mission Statement of the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs is: “To enhance the quality of life of Amerindian People in Guyana through the formulation and implementation of policies and programmes which facilitate cultural, social and economic development, promote equity, and advance the rights of Amerindian people.” Thus, by a hinterland education that would help pioneer development, Guyana is to attain the pinnacle of great development in economic and social factors, and in growth for the country. Minister of Amerindian Affairs, Ms Pauline Sukhai, during a budget debate presentation, said “The transition of Amerindian village economy is an ongoing process. The granting of land titles continues to progress. The need for increased access to secondary education continues to be addressed. Improving and expanding health care and water access is an ongoing project for this government, (which has in mind) the empowering of Amerindian youth.” Moreover, helping Guyana “Our Culture, Our Heritage, Our Life: A Fusion of Indigenous Diversity.” All will be possible through Hinterland Education.
Gov’t sourcing financing for Aurora project - Over 5,000 acres of farmlands to be opened up
ALL studies for the Aurora agricultural project have been completed and the Government is currently mobilising financing for the massive undertaking that will see over 5,000 acres of lands for rice, cattle rearing and other cash crops being opened up. This was disclosed by Agriculture Minister, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy over the weekend at a press briefing. “We will need some $3B for the Aurora Project to be brought into completion,” he said. Launched in 2011, the project which closely embraces the Diversification Strategy and Rural Development Plan, will benefit farmers living in the villages of Aurora, Good
Hope, Riverstown, Suddie and Supenaam Creek. According to him, the lands in the area targeted under the project are “fertile lands” and the funding, once secured, will support improvement of the drainage and irrigation systems in the area. “We have fertile land, but drainage and irrigation needs to be addressed, since the current drainage and irrigation system to satisfy the existing land is already having challenges. We have to develop new arrangements for that,” Dr. Ramsammy said. The project was designed with the intention to have a huge impact in the farming community, and would generate
employment for very many persons. The initiative is also expected to benefit young people who are aspiring to explore the agricultural sector. The Agriculture Minister added that work on phase two of the Mahaica-Mahaicony-Abary Scheme continues, stressing that the project is one of “now,” contrary to recent media reports. He stated too that efforts are under way to open up the Canje Basin, Region 6 (East Berbice/ Corentyne). “The next five years for agriculture look extremely exciting, there will be challenges, but it will be an exciting time,” he concluded.

PPP committed to continuing search for ideal governance model
THE People’s Progressive Party (PPP) General-Secretary, Mr. Clement Rohee, on Monday reiterated that party’s open-door policy as it relates to new ideas on advancing Guyana. However, he noted that any model or formula must take as “its point of departure” the democratic fabric of our society and the genuine aspirations of the Guyanese people. “The PPP is cognizant of the evolving nature of our democracy and remains committed to the continuing search for a governance model which is reflective of our ethnic and political diversity,” he said. According to the General-Secretary, for such a model to become a reality it must be buttressed by mutual trust and respect and a willingness to put the interest of Guyana and Guyanese ahead of narrow, partisan interests. “Regrettably, the utterances of Mr. Granger and his APNU (A Partnership for National Unity) are not in congruence with the actions taken on fundamental issues of governance at the political level, which calls into question the sincerity of calls for a government of national unity by Granger,” Rohee said. CALL ON GRANGER He charged that Mr. Granger ought to “acquaint himself” with the PPP’s document entitled ‘Building Trust towards greater political cooperation’, which was published in 2003. The General-Secretary said, “Indeed, Granger has much explaining to do in reconciling his purported desire for shared governance and national unity with the impunity with which he and his party jettisoned important national projects such as the Amaila Falls Hydroelectric Project, which would have provided cheaper and more reliable energy to the Guyanese
people. “He needs to provide answers for his stubborn refusal to give legislative support to the Anti-Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism Bill, which despite its importance for the economic health of the country is still to get his party's support.” Rohee questioned how the APNU Leader expects to be taken seriously, when his party has advanced actions that have “destroyed trust” and “denied funding” for projects that would have advanced the development of Guyana and improve the welfare of Guyanese citizens. “The list is long as regards Granger and APNU's anti-national postures, which renders it difficult to give any credence to any Opposition utterances of national unity at this time, given the high degree of distrust generated by the APNU plus AFC alliance in the Guyanese body politic,” he said. The General-Secretary highlighted too that the PPP welcomes partners who share its vision of a “peaceful, progressive and prosperous” Guyana. “[The PPP] extends an open invitation to each and every Guyanese to come on board in this exciting and noble task of advancing the good and well-being of the Guyanese people,” Rohee said. HISTORY WILL SHOW He added that history will record that it was the PPP that always took the lead in the quest for a government of national unity, which dated way back into the 1960s when the PPP offered the People’s National Congress (PNC) to join the Cabinet on near- parity terms in an attempt to forge a peaceful and cohesive society.
11
“That proposal advanced by the PPP was rejected by the PNC which eventually teamed up with the right wing United Force in the elections of 1964 to remove the PPP from government. It should be recalled that the PNC kicked out The United Force (TUF) from the coalition government a mere three years later, but not before it took total control over the elections machinery which through fraudulent means returned the PNC in all elections until 1992,” Rohee said. The General-Secretary added that despite the authoritarian and undemocratic nature of the PNC regime, the PPP never gave up on its desire for a government of national unity. He said, “In the late 1970s [the PPP] proposed the formation of a National Front government with an agreed programme for national development, all in an attempt to secure the country's territorial and national integrity which was at the time under threat from external forces. “The patriotic position advanced by the PPP was again rejected by the PNC on the ground that the PPP were the “Menscheviks” (minority party) and the PNC “Bolsheviks” (majority party) and arrogantly dismissed the proposal by saying that were the Bolsheviks to form a coalition government with the Menscheviks, the political history of the Soviet Union would have been differently written.” Rohee charged that “such arrogance” has characterised the PNC ever since it became a player in the country's politics way back in the early 1960s. “It has rejected all reasonable proposals to forge a government of national unity, which is unlike the PPP which has always embraced and advocated a policy of national reconciliation and participatory governance,” he concluded.

Caribbean Voice to promote awareness of suicide prevention
By Navendra Seoraj CARIBBEAN Voice Incorporated yesterday held a conference on World Suicide Prevention Day at the Cara Lodge, Quamina Street, Georgetown. The theme for World Suicide Day this year is: “Suicide prevention, one connected world.� The issue of suicide is developing more and more
in Guyana; and according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) Guyana has the highest suicide rate in the Caribbean. Statistics show that Guyana suffers 44.2 suicides per 100,000 persons per year, which is almost double what it was less than 10 years ago. According to the release, there are about 265 suicides per year in a population of about three quarters of a
million persons with the majority of deaths generally occurring in Regions 2 and 6. Statistics by the WHO also shows that Guyana records about 6625 attempted suicides a year, although the actual number could again be probably higher because of under-reporting. Because of these statistics, the Caribbean Voice Incorporated is now getting more involved in trying to
make the public aware of the impact of suicide and also educating persons of all walks of life about what they can do if they have thoughts of suicide. Dr. Faith Harding, a member of the Board of Directors of The Caribbean Voice Incorporated, yesterday in her address, stated that Guyana is on the top of list in the world for having the highest suicide rate and also the leading number of teenage pregnancies. Dr. Harding further said
that she is inviting members of the public to assist in the fight against suicide by any means possible. According to another member of the Board of Directors of The Caribbean Voice Incorporated, who were also present at the conference yesterday, Dr. Dawn Stewart, it is time for Guyanese to take responsibility and help in the fight against Suicide. She further listed some of the main causes of suicide, including alcoholism and
depression. Vice President of The Caribbean Voice Incorporated, Bibi Ahamad, said that workshops will be conducted throughout the country. The first workshop will be held at Black Bush Polder, Corentyne, Berbice, on October 10th and 11th, 2014. And Caribbean Voice Inc. is also planning a national essay competition which will be announced after confirmation by the Minister of Education, Priya Manikchand.

Man remanded for unlawful possession of firearm CHIEF Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry on Tuesday remanded the unrepresented 25-year-old Ricky Singh (no address given) to prison for unlawful possession of a firearm. Singh pleaded not guilty to the charge which detailed that, on September 7, on the Avenue of the Republic in Georgetown, he had in his possession one 9 mm pistol without being the holder of a firearm licence. Police Prosecutor Michael Grant successfully opposed bail on the grounds of the nature, seriousness and prevalence of the offence. The defendant will next appear in court on September 22.
Triumph man remanded for trafficking in narcotics JERMAINE Beveny of Lot 115 Ogle Street, Triumph, East Coast Demerara was yesterday refused bail by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry for trafficking in narcotics. The 25-year-old defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge which detailed that on Saturday, September 6, at Itaballi in the Mazaruni River, he had in his possession 457 grammes of cannabis-sativa (marijuana) for the purpose of trafficking. His Attorney-at-Law, Mr. James Bond, told the court that Bevney is not a flight risk, and has no prior convictions or pending matters. Counsel said Bevney and his family have an operation in the interior, and on the day in question, Bevney, his wife and other relatives were travelling to the interior when, at the checkpoint at Itaballi, the police stopped them for a routine check and found the illegal substance in a bag, which they suspected belonged to Bevney. Bond said that Bevney and his wife were arrested, but she was later released while he was charged with the offence. Police Prosecutor Michael Grant told the court that on the day in question, at around 18:20 hrs, ranks were conducting routine checks at Itaballi when motor vehicle PKK 531 arrived at the checkpoint. The court heard that several persons, including the defendant, had been occupying the vehicle, and they were all asked to disembarked for procedural checks, wherein they were also asked to identify their luggage. A subsequent search conducted on their persons and belongings unearthed the prohibited substance in a bag for which the defendant claimed ownership. He was told of the offence and arrested and charged. Prosecutor Grant successfully opposed bail by citing the nature and prevalence of the offence. He also said that special reasons are required for bail to be granted in such cases. The father of two was remanded to prison, and the case was transferred to the Bartica Magistrate’s Court for September 18.

heading of two American journalists. “The PPP condemns the atrocities committed by ISIS in the name of Islam. Such actions have nothing in common with the great teachings of Islam which has as its main pillar the precepts of peace and brotherhood,” the party said. However, in calling on
the United States of America (U.S.A.) to use its “enormous influence” in the Region, the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has warned that there is no “one-size that fits all models to democracy and governance” – a fact the world superpower must take into account. “[Also] long established systems and traditions must
be respected and taken into account in any attempt to arrive at a political solution. It is that ethno-centrist approach to problem solving, which is a tendency to regard that which is good for America as good for the rest of the world, that is partly responsible for the continuing conflict in a number of Arab countries, especially following the so-called Arab Spring which has now degenerated to political and social instability and chaos as is the case in Iraq, Egypt and Syria among other Muslim states,” the party said. RETURN PALESTINIAN LANDS The PPP also highlighted the state of Israel and
Palestine and called on the U.S.A. to “put pressure” on Israel to return all lands seized to the Palestinian people and for that country to cease forthwith all acts of provocation. “The PPP is of the firm conviction that any solution to the crisis in the Middle East must take into account the legitimate concerns of the Palestinian people, who for decades were denied a land which they could call their home,” the party said. The ruling party added that it is “strongly opposed” to the establishment of new states through resort to force and terror and joins with progressive forces throughout the
world to demand an immediate end to the prevailing “dastardly” acts. The party said, “The PPP notes with some satisfaction the current truce between the two sides in the conflict and calls on the international community to intervene to ensure that there is no further escalation to the crisis which has already claimed hundreds of lives and destruction to millions of dollars in buildings and other infrastructure.” To this end, the PPP restated its “full solidarity” with the Palestinian people and all democratic forces in the Arab world that are struggling for freedom and democracy.

The Literacy Revolution has begun
Students browsing through books on display at the launch of Education Month By Clestine Juan THE Ministry of Education has launched a five-year National Revised Literary Action Plan which will aid in improving the current standard of literacy countrywide. Education Minister Priya Manickchand confirmed the Action Plan, and said that a literacy test done from grades One to Six found a 32% grade level rate. There has been a 60% pass rate at National Grade Six Assessment, and a 50% pass with grades 1-5 at Caribbean Secondary Examination Council examinations. The National Revised Literacy Plan is to ensure that every student is a reader by Grade Four. The minister also noted that it’s not that most of the school population is below average, but rather that they are at a grade level which needs upgrading. Implementation of the five-year National Revised Literary Action Plan will be strategically implemented in the following areas: Mandating that all efforts are maximized; reading centres are established countryide; creating literacy awareness programmes and classes are conducted via television, radio, and social media; and starting classes to help educate parents about issues with learning difficulties. Teachers will be able to ensure they regulate the curriculum and are delivering satisfactory results with the literacy plan, which will help improve teachers’ effectiveness to aid in a foundation level. They would be able to implement adequate and affective material to aid in the current literacy programme via the education sector. There would also be reading centres, libraries in schools, the implementation of local reading material to aid in gaining a proper education, proper supervision, monitoring and support from teachers; better teacher/pupil relations, which seem to be the missing link in aiding classroom development; and these all would aid in laying out the national revised literary action plan. Business and government agencies are asked to create a literate–friendly environment to facilitate this development, thus resources would be given to parents to educate them on enhancing their children’s literate ability. In addition, schools would be required to have an improvement plan with a literacy component, and a literacy committee would be established in every school to help with the planning of such actions. Chief Education Officer, Mr. Olato Sam, at the launch of the National Revised Literacy Plan on Monday, said, “We should work toward this. The call today is to establish a culture that encompasses the theme “Literate by Grade 4 through consistent home, school and community involvement.” He also noted that everyone needs to get involved if Guyana is to become fully literate, and everyone needs to encourage persons to start giving books to children instead of other items. “Encourage them that reading is fun and is important,” he said.

Housing and Water Ministry commences countrywide road infrastructure outlay By Clestine Juan THE Ministry of Housing and Water has commenced work on a massive outlay of road infrastructure across the country. One project that has captured the Ministry’s focus is a new alternative by-pass road stretching from Diamond, East Bank Demerara to Ogle, East Coast Demerara. Subject Minister, Irfaan Ali has said the ministry has completed a number of road networks leading to Diamond, and these are soon to link the existing East Bank Demerara Road with the new alternative highway/by-pass that is to be constructed. Primary connectors leading to Eccles, Providence, Herstelling, Perseverance, Mocha, and Covent Garden have all been constructed, and works are ongoing at Little Diamond. In addition, construction of secondary connecting roads has almost been completed. Five of these stretches between Eccles and Herstelling have already been completed and are being used. Flanked by members of the Private Sector, Minister Ali spoke to the media during a tour of an Eccles Housing Scheme on Monday. He said, “We are creating a new culture for the roadways in Guyana.” He noted that it would help to interlink the East Bank Demerara all the way to Ogle via the by-pass. Ministry of Public Works, Roads and Bridges Department Manager Ron Rahaman noted that two of the lots will be completed by this year, and the other in the first quarter of 2015. He noted that Lots Two and Three, with the exception of the Diamond High Bridge, are scheduled to be completed by December. The High Bridge would not be completed, as work has recently begun. Currently, the contractors are working on driving piles on the western side of the bridge. The entire bridge is expected to be completed by the first quarter of next year, along with Lot One. Rahaman went on to explain that work on the second lot, being done by Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo), is progressing well, with the second two-lane also having been completed. He pointed out that the split-road design was done because of efficiency using an alternative to filling the trench. “At that area, the trench was a bit wider than Lot One, so it would have taken a lot more back-filling, so completing it

With the completion of the East Bank Demerara FourLot 3, which is being done under contract by BK International, has a hold up in construction because of the presence of Lane Expansion Projects, the traffic congestion, especially utilities, thus the relocation of such issues has been resolved, at peak hours, would be reduced significantly, thus allowing for a smoother and faster traffic flow. and the work is in full swing.

GPF will receive patrol boat after special features installed - Rohee By Leroy Smith THE patrol boat purchased by the Government of Guyana through the Ministry of Home Affairs for the Guyana Police Force will not be handed over until critical works and installations have been effected to the vessel. This is according to Home Afrfairs Minister, Clement Rohee. According to the Minister, the reason the boat has not been handed over to the police is because there are special works which have to be done on the vessel; and those works could not have been done outside of Guyana. The boat is to be added to the marine wing of the Guyana Police Force. Rohee went on to state that when the boat arrived, funds were not available to have the works done; and
as such, the ministry had to approach the Ministry of Finance to secure money from the Contingency Fund to effect additional works to the vessel. The Ministry of Finance was already written and the Home Affairs Ministry is now awaiting the release of the funds from the Ministry of Finance to move ahead with the works. Rohee did not go into the details of the works which needed to be done on the vessel. A company has already been contracted to carry out those works, but the name of that company was not disclosed by the minister. Rohee is confident that the vessel which has been in Guyana for about a month now will soon be ready to be integrated into the marine wing of the Guyana Police Force. Asked about the other
vessel which was bought by the Guyana Police Force while Winston Felix was the Commissioner of Police and which never served the police force, the minister promptly responded, “Oh that was a fiasco.” He said that it was unfortunate that there was also some amount of corruption surrounding the purchase of the vessel and that was dealt with by the police. That boat has since been handed over to the Ministry of Public Works who passed it onto the Maritime Administration Department. However, since the boat was handed over it has not been put into operation since several works have to be carried out on it before it becomes operational. Those works include the procuring of two engines, batteries and works in other areas.
This Leroy Smith photo dated October 2013, shows two employees from the boathouse in Georgetown examining the vessel which the police handed over to the Maritime Administration Department

MACORP has again rolled out their end- of-year super discounts and savings under the theme: “Lower your operating costs… buy genuine Caterpillar parts.” The company has super savings from, 25% discount on selected items and a complimentary trip for two to beautiful Aruba. The promotion is slated to run until year-end. Speaking to the Guyana Chronicle at the company’s Providence office, in an exclusive interview Asif Sahid, Macorp’s Parts Manager, explained that the company understands that coming close to the last quarter of the year, persons would have a lot of responsibilities such as Christmas, the new school year for their children and other miscellaneous commitments. “This is the reason we have decided to have these discounts and also a complimentary trip for a lucky customer. For miners or anyone using our parts or machinery 20% to 25% discounts will amount to a lot of savings; and we are happy to give back in this way to our customers. These discounts can be acquired from any of our locations,” Sahid said. “The Bartica location will be relocated by mid-October of the year to accommodate a bigger, better and more advanced location. We will be able to deliver better standard in terms of customer service as well as machinery and parts, the expansion and relocation is [sic] primarily to cater for a larger inventory of the caterpillar brand,” Sahid explained. It is the company’s aim to work along with the miners and community so as to provide them with a better service and to cut out the travelling and transportation costs to come to the Georgetown office, the parts manager explained. In Port Kaituma, Macorp has not only provided this great service to miners, but have taken up their social responsibility by assisting the community either through donations to schools or the enhancement of the community. Sahid also indicated that come November of this year, the branch at Port Kaituma will celebrate its one -year anniversary. He also disclosed that the support from this community and also surrounding communities has been beyond expectations.

Minister Whittaker rejects Linden Town Council toll increase method - urges that proposals be taken to Cabinet for consideration
By Derwayne Wills LOCAL Government and Regional Development Minister, Mr. Norman Whittaker, has rejected the ‘right’ of the Mayor & Town Council of Linden to increase the tolls charged
for use of the Mackenzie/ Wismar Bridge by a proposed 25%. Minister Whittaker on Tuesday summoned key players in the fiasco to a meeting at the Local Government Ministry. Prime Minister, Samuel Hinds; National
Industrial and Commercial Investments Ltd (NICIL) Director, Mr. Winston Brassington; and Executive Interim Management Committee Chairman of the Linden Town Council, Mr. Orin Gordon, turned up to discuss the possible implications of a toll
increase. During this meeting, Whittaker disclosed that, acting on the advice of Cabinet, the meeting was called to “revisit the request of the Linden Town Council for an increase of the toll fees that are paid for the use of the
Mackenzie/Wismar Bridge.” The minister disclosed that he first knew of the proposed increase by way of a newspaper article, which declared that the municipality had intended to implement the proposed toll increases with effect from September 1, 2014. Whittaker said he then referred to the Demerara River (Mackenzie) Bridge Act Cap. 51:04, and similarly looked up Section 11 of the Linden Municipal Toll Point by-laws, which refer to the
of a facility.” Such implications, he stressed, would be felt by the citizens, since, according to him, an increase in toll “would be passed on to customers.” Minister Whittaker was concerned that vehicles, which are used to transport goods and commuters, would have commuters feel the brunt of any increase, which would mostly be evident in the anticipated increases in costs for goods and services. “My concern is that commuters would be required by
Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Mr. Norman Whittaker power to increase tolls (“The council shall have the power to increase tolls subject to the approval of the Minister”), and realised that, according to the by-laws, “such increases shall be in conformity with the submission of supplementary estimates and financial regulation; [and] the Minister shall reserve the right to accept or reject any proposal for the increases or proposed increases of tolls sent to him.” Whittaker made clear his dissatisfaction with the way in which the decision was announced -- without approval of the relevant authorities. He also expressed “objection on the manner in which it was done.” He said the decision presents some implications, since it would be “asking the public for additional sums of money for the use
these very vehicle owners to pay more than the percentage increase that is proposed here,” he said. Whittaker said a decision had been made between the subject ministry and the council to have the local government body resubmit a “proposal” to the Local Government Ministry. He gave all assurance that after he would have received the resubmitted proposal, he “would take it to Cabinet, where it would be discussed and a position would be taken by Government with respect to the toll.” The meeting at the LGRD Ministry concluded with a consensus among those concerned that Cabinet should decide, by its next meeting scheduled for Wednesday, what is the way forward in this impasse.

Umana Yana destruction clouds scheduled Amerindian Heritage events —Dr Luncheon It was erected by a team of about 60 members of the Wai-Wai nation, one of the nine tribes indigenous to Guyana. Fashioned like the Wai-Wai benabs or shelters found deep in Guyana’s interior, it occupies an area of 460 square metres, making it the largest structure of its kind in Guyana. The monument consisted of five polished greenheart logs encased in a jasper stand on a granite boulder. “Umana Yana” is a Wai-Wai term meaning “Meeting place of the people.”
Below rates for September 10, 2014
THE destruction of the Umana Yana by fire last Tuesday afternoon has really left a shadow over the events that were scheduled to be held there for Amerindian Heritage Month, Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon observed on Wednesday. Speaking at his post-Cabinet press briefing at the Office of the President, in Georgetown, he said that very Tuesday, they were supposed to honour one Stephen Campbell. “So it certainly detracted from the state’s activity to deal with aspects of Amerindian heritage,” he said. “Other than a pledge to move full speed ahead and to do the reconstruction, I don’t believe that there was much more that came out of Cabinet’s discussion (last Tuesday). Just get on the ball and build the place back as quickly as possible,” he said. Meanwhile, at just about 15:30hrs Tuesday, the Umana Yana was gutted by fire, which, according to firemen, might have been electrical in origin. The fire lasted for some 15 minutes before firemen managed to get it under control. Guyana Fire Service (GFC) Operations Officer, Mr. Compton Sparman told the Chronicle that within five minutes of receiving the call, two fire tenders from the Central Fire Station, and one from the Alberttown Fire Station, were sent to the scene of the fire, on the upper reaches of High Street, in the ward of Kingston. As to what might have caused the fire, Sparman said, “Our preliminary investigations reveal that the structure might have been burnt by electrical cause; there was nothing in there that could have caused the fire besides electrical wires. Fires don’t happen; they are caused, and we will work to bring a detailed investigation soon.” The Umana Yana, a conical palm-thatched hut (benab), was erected back in 1972 to be used as a V.I.P. Lounge and Recreation Centre for the Non-Aligned Foreign Ministers Conference held here in Georgetown in August of that year. Situated on upper High Street in close proxim-
ity to the Pegasus Hotel and obliquely opposite the newly built Marriott Hotel, the Umana Yana was, until yesterday, a permanent and much admired part of Georgetown’s scenery, and in constant use as an exhibition and conference centre. Standing 55 feet (16.78 metres) tall, the “Benab” as the Umana Yana is popularly known, is made of thatched allibanna, manicole palm leaves, and wallaba posts lashed together with mukru, turu and nibbi vines. No nails were used in its construction.

Aries March 21 - April 19 You’ve probably had a busy week, and may feel out of sorts today. Perhaps you had too much good food last night, stayed up too late, or both. It goes against your grain to stay in and rest, but this is the perfect day to curl up with a good book. You’re going to want some exercise, but don’t overdo it. As you well know, you can get too much of a good thing! Taurus April 20 - May 20 There might be a lot of work to do at home today. Since certain family members are conveniently absent, you may feel that the burden falls on you. Don’t be a martyr, however. Just do what you can and leave the rest. Uncertainties about money could also be on your mind, but put these aside for now. You’ll be better able to deal with them tomorrow. Gemini May 21 - June 21 Too much indulging may leave you with a headache or stomachache to the point where you may want to spend most of today sleeping. The stress of this condition could cause you to snap at family members, but remember that they weren’t the ones who chose to overindulge. Chill out, get some rest, and regain your strength. You’ll be back in the real world soon enough. Cancer June 22 - July 22 You like to be honest with those you care about, but today you’re likely to be a bit too honest. Don’t be too quick to take offense, and watch the tendency to be too blunt. If you temper your honesty with some diplomacy, you should get your message across with a minimum of hurt feelings. You create win/win situations that way. It’s best for all involved. Leo July 23 - August 22 It might feel like your home has turned into Grand Central Station. Lots of visitors, messengers, and others are going to drop by, and you may just want to watch TV or read a book. This could lead to some understandable irritation. However, be your usual polite self. If possible, get a family member to screen your callers. You might be frustrated, but you don’t want to offend anybody. Virgo August 23 - September 22 You might have to do a lot of running around when you probably want to stay home. Obligations to friends and family are likely to come up, and even though you’re a bit tired you’ll want to help out. The best plan for today is to get everything done as quickly as possible and then spend the rest of the day relaxing alone. You can have it both ways! Libra September 23 - October 22 Don’t be surprised if lots of visitors show up today. Perhaps you’re hosting an impromptu social event or neighbours bring news of changes nearby. You should be brimming with energy, so you can handle it, but you might find it a bit unnerving if it gets too exciting. It’s best just to go with the flow and enjoy situations like this. You can think about it later. Scorpio October 23 - November 21 You could be feeling a bit antsy today and may want to spend time exercising or trying a new sport or game that you’ve never played before. This is great. Ask some friends to join you. Don’t push yourself past your limits. This can only bring exhaustion or injury, and it won’t help your fitness level. Exercise within your limitations and do it more often.
For Thursday September 11, 2014 -05:00hrs For Friday September 12, 2014 -05:00hrs For Saturday September 13, 2014 -08:30hrs
Sagittarius November 22 - December 21 An exciting communication could inform you of an advancement opportunity that you should explore. While you’d be quick to act under normal circumstances, today you might be more cautious. You’ve sought recognition for a while, so don’t be too reticent. Don’t let your insecurity get the better of you. Learn all you can about the situation and then make an informed decision. Capricorn December 22 - January 19 A friend could ask for a loan and you might hesitate to give him or her the money. Follow your instincts. The person probably isn’t too savvy about money. You might want to participate in some group activities, but don’t let people take unfair advantage of you. You’re willing to serve those who need you, but discriminate between those who do and don’t really need your help. Aquarius January 20 - February 18 Today you’re likely to experience a powerful burst of energy that may temporarily turn you into a workaholic. Chores may have piled up around the house that desperately need to be done. You may want to go through them like wildfire. You don’t have to do them all at once. Take care of the most pressing tasks and then relax. The rest can wait. Ask family members to help. Pisces February 19 - March 20 Frustration may be the word for today. You could be experiencing a bit of wanderlust. Distant states and foreign lands may beckon to you, but circumstances could make it hard for you to get away. There might also be friction with your partner. Don’t get sucked into a quarrel. Use your placid nature to get grounded, then use your practicality to solve the issues at hand.

adding that COURTS has been a part of boxing for many years and continues to support this and other sports. He said COURTS has been on board since in the early careers of Shondell `The Mystery Lady’ Alfred and Dexter Marques. Speaking on behalf of the GBBC, the board’s secretary Howard Cox thanked COURTS for ther contribution and noted that Cummings is an ardent boxing fan. Cox endorsed the comments made by Ferguson and Cummings and said the GBBC has never been wayward since the Board’s `Fight
Nights’ started some time ago, and from which many champions have emerged. He explained that there was a hiatus in professional boxing recently, but this was because some of Guyana’s leading boxers were in Jamaica for a period of time contesting the Wray and Nephew Contender Series. GBBC president Peter Abdool in a very brief remark thanked COURTS Guyana Inc. for its continued support and stated that the sport cannot improve without sponsorship of this kind.nell Cummings (second right), while looking on are COURTS Public Relations and Promotion Officer Roberta Ferguson (extreme left) and GBBC’s president Peter Abdool.

U.S. and Lithuania storm into World Cup semi-finals By Tim Hanlon BARCELONA, Spain (Reuters) - Holders the United States ran riot in a 119-76 win over Slovenia while Lithuania beat Turkey 7361 on Tuesday to set up a mouth-watering basketball World Cup semi-final. Hosts Spain take on European champions France and Brazil clash with dark horses Serbia in the other two quarter-finals in Madrid yesterday. The Slovenians held their own valiantly in the opening half against the Americans and were only 49-42 down at the interval as forward Domen Lorbek produced a superb performance. The champions at times looked pedestrian in the first half as their captain James Harden missed his first seven shots, with fellow guard Klay Thompson and athletic centre Anthony Davis pulling the strings to keep them in the driving seat. But the second period produced one-way traffic as the U.S. hit top gear with six players finishing with double-scoring digits. Thompson had a game-high 20 points while Harden and Kenneth Faried added 14 each. Having arrived in Spain with a squad missing top NBA talent who turned down invitations to play, long-serving U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski was pleased with the effort. “We played hard but we just couldn’t finish in the first half and then the floodgates opened after that,” he told a news conference. “We are beatable there is no doubt about that and that is why I am pleased how we handled it. Normally you get frustrated but we kept our composure and were mature. “The team is not a powerhouse and we know from previous experience that it is not easy with a young team.” Slovenia coach Jure Zdovc said: “We tried and for the first 23 minutes or so we were close but the power that they had was too much for us. “They are a good team but they are not unbeatable and I think that the semi-final will be very different.” Former European champions Lithuania,

Lethal long-range shoot-
ing hauled the Lithuanians back into the game as they nailed 10 of 19 three-pointers to turn a 40-36 deficit early in the second half into an unassailable 12-point lead in the closing stages.
Shooting guard Renaldas Seibutis led Lithuania with 19 points, Martynas Pocius added 13 and towering centre Jonas Valanciunas amassed 12 to go with 13 commanding rebounds.

No quick technology fix for problem bowlers - ICC By Ian Ransom MELBOURNE, Australia (Reuters) - The ICC is cautiously optimistic that wearable sensors can provide the technological breakthrough needed to stamp out illegal bowling actions but does not expect them to be ready for trial in matches before mid-2015. Geoff Allardice, the International Cricket Council’s general manager of cricket, told Reuters in an interview yesterday that there has been lots of progress in using the technology but stumbling blocks remain to deploying it in matches. The ICC on Tuesday banned off-spinner Saeed Ajmal, Pakistan’s most prolific Test wicket-taker among active players, after
Geoff Allardice biomechanical tests found all his deliveries broke the limit for straightening of the elbow joint. The latest in a string of suspensions for internationals over their bowling actions, Ajmal’s ban has
fanned fears that ‘chucking’ is rife at the highest level of the game but it has also been applauded as a timely crackdown on a highly contentious and often elusive problem. Where umpires have often been reluctant to report their suspicions to match officials, the ICC hopes technology can eliminate subjectivity from the equation, making violations clear-cut through measured, real-time data. The ICC has been working with Australian researchers to develop wearable “inertial” sensors that can measure bowlers’ actions against the permissible limit for over two years. The programme has reached key milestones and is now in its third and
final phase but challenges remain, believes Allardice. “There’s a fair bit of work to do before we’re going to be able to use them in a match setting,” he said. “This next stage is probably going to take 18 months to two years. You wouldn’t expect it to be trialled in a match setting until mid-2015 at the earliest. “But the science is encouraging.” FINE LINE The sensors, which are attached to the bowler’s upper arm and fore arm have reached the point where they can successfully detect the moment when a ball is released in a delivery. While that much is already useful in analysis, the sensors still lack the
capability to measure the arm’s straightness during the bowling arc, a key to determining the fine line between a legal action and chucking. “At this stage we’re looking to automatically detect the position of the arm at the release with some software that is receiving the signals from the sensors ... and how to capture that without any (competing) information,” said Allardice, a former first-class batsman and senior manager at Australia’s cricket board. The mounting of the sensors also has yet to be perfected so the data cannot be compromised to an intolerable extent. “If you’re in a match situation, the mounting of the sensors of the arm has
to be so that they don’t shift position. If they do, then the calibration is disturbed,” added the Australian. The sensors have already been tested on youth cricketers, with players at the Under-19 World Cup in Dubai providing data during net sessions. Crunching the data still required the support of video analysis which, despite advances in digital image resolution, remains a process clouded by subjectivity. The third phase of the programme is set to kick off at Australia’s National Cricket Centre in Brisbane next week and is likely to entail far more time poring over data in laboratories than putting bowlers through their paces.

Haynes hails Emrit’s appointment as Tridents skipper BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) – Barbados Tridents head coach Desmond Haynes has fully endorsed Rayad Emrit’s appointment as captain for the upcoming Champions League Twenty20 in India. Emrit takes over from Kieron Pollard who led the Tridents during the recently staged Caribbean Premier League but is unavailable because of his commitments to Indian Premier League franchise Mumbai Indians. “Coaching in the Champions League T20 will be a fantastic experience, and I’m delighted to be supported by Rayad as captain,” Haynes said. “He demonstrated his ca-
Rayad Emrit - the newly appointed Barbados Tridents skipper
pabilities as a natural leader throughout our recent CPL campaign and was a straight-forward choice to lead the team. I’ve very much enjoyed working with the boys and I’m confident we can make an impression against some of the world’s best.” He added: “Rayad has a lot of experience captaining Trinidad for the last couple of years so even though Polly (Pollard) has done a fantastic job for us in the CPL, we are sure Rayad will be able to handle the side very well.” Emrit played in all ten matches of the Tridents CPL campaign and contested the 2013 Champions League for his native Trinidad and
Tobago when they managed to reach the semi-final before being knocked out by Mumbai. “It’s an honour to lead the Barbados Tridents into the most prestigious tournament in domestic T20 cricket. It’s a chance for us to pit our wits against some of the best-known teams around, and show the rest of the world the amount of talent that exists within the CPL,” Emrit said. “Polly has been doing an excellent job for the Tridents for the last two years. Hopefully, I can do the same if not go one step further and go all the way and bring another title for us. “The Champions League is a tough tourna-
ment but I think that with the talent we have, I think that we can give a good account of ourselves.” Tridents will be also missing Dwayne Smith who has commitments with Chennai Super Kings, and Shoaib Malik who will be playing for Australian Big Bash side Hobart Hurricanes. The Barbados franchise qualified for the CLT20 when they beat Guyana Amazon Warriors in a rain-hit final of the CPL at Warner Park in St Kitts last month. Tridents face Kings XI Punjab in their opening game on September 20, in the tournament that runs until October 6.
PCB asks Saqlain Bangladesh paceman Amin Mushtaq to help reported for suspect action Ajmal’s action KARACHI, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistani cricket authorities have turned to former top spinner Saqlain Mushtaq to help Saeed Ajmal change his bowling action and make a comeback to international cricket. Mushtaq, who now lives in Britain, said that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had contacted him after the International Cricket Council (ICC) suspended Ajmal on Tuesday. Tests showed all Ajmal’s deliveries breached the permissible limit for straightening the elbow joint. “The PCB has contacted me to help out Saeed and I am willing to do that. He is a gutsy character and can adjust his action accordingly,” Saqlain told the Geo Super channel. Ajmal, 36, underwent tests at a biomechanic lab in Brisbane under the new ICC protocols for bowlers with suspect bowling actions after he was reported by match officials following the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle last month. “Saeed has problems right now with his action as he appears to be going beyond the 15 degrees elbow extension allowed by the ICC,” Mushtaq said. “But there is no doubt he is a world class bowler and his absence is a big disappointment for Pakistan cricket. So he needs to now
Saqlain Mushtaq work on his action so that he can get back into international cricket again.” Mushtaq, 37, credited with pioneering the ‘doosra’ delivery, took 208 Test and 288 one-day wickets before a knee injury cut short his Pakistan career in 2004. “We are presently in process of working out a formal contract with him (Mushtaq) because with his experience he can certainly help out Ajmal before the World Cup,” a PCB official said. The official also said that the PCB had decided against appealing against Ajmal’s suspension. “It is risky because if the appeal is not upheld he will be banned for a year. The better option is he works on his action and tries to make a comeback,” the official added. Ajmal, who has taken 178 Test and 183 ODI wickets, can apply for re-assessment after modifying his action.
DUBAI, (Reuters) - Bangladesh paceman Al-Amin Hossain has become the latest bowler to be reported for a suspect action and has to undergo biomechanical tests within 21 days, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said yesterday. The match officials’ report after Bangladesh’s 10-wicket loss to West Indies at St Vincent on Tuesday cited concerns about the legality of the 24-year-old’s bowling action, the ICC said in a statement. “He is required to undergo testing within 21 days, and, during this period, Al-Amin is permitted to continue bowling in international cricket until the results of the testing are known,” the governing body said.
Al-Amin Hossain has to undergo biomechanical tests within 21 days.
The right-arm fast bowler has played four Tests and nine one-day internationals from Bangladesh. While the ICC has denied asking match officials to be more vigilant about chucking, the renewed vigour in identifying bowlers with illegal actions has been evident as Al-Amin became the sixth cricketer to be reported for a dodgy action since July. Officials have already reported five off-spinners Sachithra Senanayake (Sri Lanka), Kane Williamson (New Zealand), Prosper Utseya (Zimbabwe), Sohag Gazi (Bangladesh) and Saeed Ajmal (Pakistan) for illegal bowling actions. Three of them - Senanayake, Williamson and Ajmal - were subsequently banned from bowling.
Nigeria stay winless after goalless draw with South Africa C A P E TO W N , S o u t h Africa (Reuters) - Nigeria forward Ighodaro Osaguona had a header cleared off the line as the Super Eagles played out a tepid 0-0 draw with South Africa in their African Nations Cup qualifier yesterday. There was plenty of huff
and puff from both sides but not enough quality in the final third to create more than a handful of goal-scoring opportunities. Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel blazed over the bar from the edge of the area for holders Nigeria, while South Africa forward Tokelo Rantie saw his shot
saved at point-blank range by visiting goalkeeper Austin Ejide. Defender Erick Mathoho then kept the scores level as he cleared off the line from Osaguona in the final 10 minutes, the closest either team came to a goal. Nigeria lost their

Nurse lashes out at GFF boss for insulting overseas-based players A VERSE from the Holy Bible (Luke 8:17) says: “For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open”. This is the case now with the new Guyana Football Federation (GFF) versus Christopher Nurse saga. Nurse is Guyana’s most successful captain who is known for not only his defensive midfield exploits, but also for being passionate about the sport which earns him a living and also making sure that Guyanese players are not unfairly treated. Guyana’s Golden Jaguars wrapped up what would be their worst Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Caribbean Cup tournament since 1994; failing to win a game and even scoring a single goal in what many thought was the weakest group of the competition, being placed alongside St Lucia, Dominica and hosts St Kitts and Nevis. H o w e v e r, N u r s e ’s problem is not about Guyana’s failure and now being the laughing stock of Caribbean football; it’s the fact that president Christopher Matthias seems to have a problem with the overseas-based players like himself. Prior to naming a squad of relatively fresh faces, Matthias had said his administration has reached out to all the overseas-based players but none had shown

But Nurse said that’s a lie and offered compelling evidence to substantiate his proclamation, while releasing an email addressed to Matthias and Technical Director Mark Rodrigues. “Who is the GFF, to decide on who is Guyanese enough, to represent Guyana? According to the “FIFA Constitution” that you frequently refer to, all of the 2011/2012 senior men’s na-

tional team players passed the requirements to represent Guyana, otherwise they simply would not have been allowed to participate. I was born in London England; my father, my grandparents, my uncle, my sister, my nephew, my cousins all were born and reside in Guyana. “I would love for you to stand in front of my father and my grandfather and tell them that I am not Guya-
nese enough to represent the national team. I am extremely proud to represent Guyana, it is in my heart and in my blood and I will not let you or any other person take those moments away from me,” Nurse said in his lengthy email. “As a president, it is your job to generate funding and engage with sponsors all over the world, because football is a global game. There are successful Guyanese all over the globe. If you refer to them as “foreigners” do you expect them to part with their hard-earned money to support and sponsor a federation that does not recognise them as their own people? “Institutional fascism is exactly how I describe your comments and I am grateful for your public display of emotion, as this provides a level of clarification to the lack of communication that you have continued to display thus far. A lack of honesty, A lack of forthcoming, A lack of transparency. All characteristics that you initially promised us would be the foundation of your administration, yet 15 months later here we are,” the English-born player said. Nurse is of the opinion that from the 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign, the GFF had a product/team that was marketable globally, claiming “You (GFF) had something to take to
businesses and say: this is what we achieved with zero facilities, no league, few certified/qualified coaches, a struggling economy, a “developing country.” The federation was in possession of the best football asset - a team performing beyond its means” “Guyana wanted to reach the World Cup and follow in the likes of Trinidad and Jamaica, Costa Rica. Are you familiar with the squad of players that these teams had when they reached the World Cup? 80% overseas-based players - Costa Rica has Joel Campbell, a tremendous talent from Arsenal now playing in Spain, you’re saying they shouldn’t select him for the national team because he comes and leaves? “The United States of America Men’s National Team should not select Brooks, Green, Diskerud, Chandler, Jones, and Johannsson? If a country like the U.S. with three full-fledged professional leagues, 100’s of stadia, and the well established amateur collegiate system still selected as many as six overseas-based players, who are we to frown upon such actions?” Nurse said in questioning Matthias’ notion of not using overseas-based players. Matthias had said in
his Interview on NCN that monetary resources are wasted on foreign players, but Nurse, again, questioned the GFF president’s statistical thinking, stating, “It is easy to make unsolicited claims about a topic that fuels at least some of the domestic sentiment towards foreign-born players. If you believe foreign-based/born players are the problem with the Guyana National Team then the solution is to close up the borders and become the first fascist isolationist football nation in the history of world football.” Nurse added, “The technical director whom you (Matthias) appointed - Mark Rodrigues - is based in Tampa Florida, isn’t he a ‘foreigner’? You have employed a “foreigner” to assemble a national team, but you don’t want “foreign” players? JP Rodrigues is Mark Rodrigues’ nephew, also based in Tampa Florida. Is he a so-called “foreigner”?. The Lady Jags are 90% foreign-based players, coached by Mark Rodrigues, your appointed technical director. This is a total contradiction and quite frankly irrelevant to the National team programmes. “You are president, so you should know these facts, so I have no idea why you speak with such football ignorance.”.
Windies women gearing for revenge against New Zealand BASSETERRE, St Kitts (CMC) - West Indies women cricketers say they are on the hunt for revenge when they play New Zealand in a One Day and T20 international series starting in St Kitts this weekend. All-rounder Stafanie Taylor says the regional outfit is back to full strength and has a score to settle with the White Ferns after receiving a mauling earlier this year. The first of four ODIs takes place at Warner Park tomorrow while three T20 matches will be contested at Arnos Vale Cricket Ground in St Vincent later this month. “We take the series very seriously, given that we lost all our games against them in New Zealand,” said Taylor.
Going for revenge “We are therefore looking forward to it where we hope to do the same of winning both series.” The West Indies were without star batters, Taylor and Deandra Dottin, due to injury and suspension, respectively, when they suffered heavy defeats to New
Zealand this year. They were trounced three-nil in their three-match one-day series and lost a fivematch T20 series four-nil with one of the matches finishing in a no-result due to rain. “We are stronger now than before,” said Taylor in reference to the make-
up of the regional women. “We know it’s not going to be easy, as they are a good team with good players.” “But all we have to do is to just stick to the basics, tick all the necessary boxes, and do what we did best against them here in the Caribbean.”

New highs for Benn, Brathwaite and Roach DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, (CMC) - Three West Indies cricketers have climbed to new highs in the Reliance ICC player rankings released yesterday. Pacer Kemar Roach has broken into the top ten for the first time while spinner Sulieman Benn and batsman Kraigg Brathwaite have achieved their highest ranking to date. The three Barbadian players were the biggest movers in the latest rankings released after West Indies thrashed Bangladesh by 10 wickets in the first Test in St Vincent on Tuesday. Roach has earned 17 rating points for his match figures of five for 95 that has moved him one place to 10th. Benn gained the most with a jump of six places that has put him in 24th position, his highest ranking to date after returning match figures of seven for 83 in the first Test. Shannon Gabriel has also shown improvement on the table climbing up six spots to occupy 60th place following his three

West Indies middle order batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who scored 85 not out in his only innings, remains the highest-ranked batsman from either side, having moved up a spot to fifth. He now trails second-ranked AB de Villiers by 21 ratings points. Chanderpaul can move further up the order depending how he performs in the second Test which starts in St Lucia tomorrow.

Walsh – Resigning from JCA was tough
KINGSTON, Jamaica - Jamaica Cricket Association (JCA) second vice-president Courtney Walsh said his recent decision to resign from three positions within the organisation was as a result of a recent appointment to the West Indies selection panel. The former West Indies fast bowler, who has been a vice-president of the association since last November, recently handed in his resignation, as well as membership of the Jamaica senior and Under-19 selection panels. “When I was offered the role of being a West Indies selector, one of the criteria was I had to step down from my positions within the JCA,” said Walsh. “This, according to WICB, was to prevent any possible occurrences of conflicts of interest. “It was a difficult spot to find myself in. However, after carefully evaluating my options and weighing the advantages and disadvantages, I decided to accept the West Indies selector post.”
Courtney Walsh “It’s kind of unfortunate, as I was elected by the delegates of the JCA to serve for two years, and I have only gone about one, but it is a decision I had to make in the best interest of West Indies cricket.” Walsh, who served as deputy to chairman Wavell Hinds on the national senior selection panel, and head of the national Under-19 panel, is one of three new members on the West Indies’ new selection panel, which was appointed last month.
The others are chairman Clive Lloyd, and former West Indies fast bowler Eldine Baptiste. The panel is completed by former West Indies wicketkeeper Courtney Browne, who has been retained, the coach of the West Indies and the captain who is the only non-voting member. The new selection panel’s first order of business was to select West Indies squads for Bangladesh’s ongoing tour of the region. (Jamaica Star)

KINGSTOWN, St Vincent (CMC) – West Indies captain Denesh Ramdin has appealed to his team to improve on their fielding ahead of the second Test against Bangladesh starting in St Lucia on Saturday. Bangladesh’s resistance was assisted by sloppy West Indies fielding, with five catches going down, despite the regional side’s ten-wicket win at Arnos Vale. Bangladesh second innings hero Mushfiqur Rahim who scored 116 survived four chances dropped by Darren Bravo, Jerome Taylor and twice by Chris Gayle while Kirk Edwards put down a simple chance offered by Mahmudullah. “It (the dropping of catches) is a cause for concern,” Ramdin said. “It is very important we work on those areas.
