Following prorogation of Parliament…

President not ‘utterly’ convinced there will be no talks - says in politics private and public positions sometimes differ

LEADER of the Opposition Brigadier (rtd.) David Granger has not officially responded to a letter from President Donald Ramotar, dated November 18, inviting him for talks, following the prorogation of Parliament on November 10. However, Head of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS), Dr. Roger Luncheon, yesterday disclosed that President Ramotar is not “utterly” convinced that the doors have been closed to dialogue. He said, “Politics is that art of making the impossible possible…issues can be so clear cut in terms of its exposition in the public eye, in the media and yet, as history has shown, there is room for negotiations.” The Head of State’s invitation for talks have been dumped by the combined Opposition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC). Both parties have publicly insisted that there will be no dialogue until Parliament is reconvened. GREATER DIALOGUE In proroguing Parliament, Mr. Ramotar was emphatic that the move to prorogation was intended to pave the way for greater dialogue among political parties, while keeping the 10th Parliament alive to address the critically important issues currently before the National Assembly. Despite the rejection of the invitation for talks there have been calls to regional and international bodies to assist local

politicians in overcoming the current political impasse. The first such call was made by AFC Executive and Speaker of the National Assembly, Raphael Trotman. He wrote the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) to invite a delegation that will engage all sides, in the interest of moving past the act of prorogation. Dr. Luncheon said, “Goat didn’t bite the body politic in Guyana and there is no reason for us to believe that we could draw the line in Guyana to say to politicians that whatever you say in public resonates with what you do in private.” CALLS FOR ELECTIONS Additionally, APNU’s weekly protests, every Tuesday, outside of Office of the President, which started out as a call for local government elections, this week have included a call for general elections. Responding to the fact that APNU as well as several other stakeholders have called for a move to early general elections, the HPS reiterated that this will be the outcome once the President is convinced that there can be no dialogue. “He (President Ramotar) needs to be utterly convinced and to the extent that he has not acted (not called general elections) means that, notwithstanding the protestations, he is not convinced,” Dr. Luncheon said. “…the President’s rejoinder to this situation has, to some extent, contributed (to the call) because he did say he will not prorogate more than once….he said once I am convinced that prorogation and its objectives are not going President anywhere, we are and we will Donald Ramotar go to general and regional elections...if elections are called it would be responding to calls that have been made by everyone plus the cat’s mouth.” The combined Opposition’s rejection of President Ramotar’s invitation comes after the Head of State has, as recently as two weeks ago, expressed optimism that the combined Opposition will reconsider their ‘first position’, in which they rejected the possibility of talks. AGGRESSIVE PERSUASION According to Dr. Luncheon, the current Administration is presently working “aggressively” to persuade the combined Opposition of the merits of dialogue. “We are past hoping. We are actively on the road of persuading. It is more than hoping....I don’t believe we are leaving the destiny of the country to hope….we are pursuing

dialogue, we are not hoping by any means,” he said. The HPS, however, declined to disclose the means by which this effort is being undertaken. “I am not allowed to divulge the practices of the political parties…I would not be able to speak (with assurance) of such interventions,” he said. The HPS maintained that not having dialogue would

with at the earliest, as opposed to having them carried over to an 11th Parliament, which would be constituted after general elections. Some of these matters include: the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) (Amendment) Bill, which is in Parliamentary Special Select Committee; the second readings of the Education Bill 2014, the Land Surveyors Bill 2014 and the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2014 are up for a second reading. Also among the Bills scheduled for a first reading are the Food Safety Bill 2014 and the Motor Vehicles Insurance (Third Party Risks) (Amendment) Bill 2014. Other important matters before the National Assembly include the appointment of members for the Rights of the Child Commission (ROC) and the Women and Gender Equality Commission. “Cabinet felt that there needs to be some understanding of the result of this choice (rejecting the invitation for talks…as opposed to what dialogue offers…this (dialogue) would be giving us a chance, even if it is a last chance,” Dr. Luncheon said. If there is a move to general elections, it would come more than a year early. The last general and regional elections were held in November 2011. (Vanessa Narine)

Judiciary, law enforcement must act on domestic violence cases – Dr Luncheon AS Guyana joins the world in the fight to end violence against women, Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Roger Luncheon has turned attention to the judicial system for what he calls “errant judgments [and] sentencing” in dealing with cases of violence against women. “It is important for the gap, if any, between what we intended to achieve... the tools we are using, and the results we are getting to be highlighted continuously,” Dr. Luncheon told reporters during his weekly post-Cabinet press conference. In light of a poor conviction rate, the Cabinet Secretary was asked to comment on the effectiveness of the 1996 Domestic Violence Act and the Sexual Offences Act of 2010 in dealing with cases which apply to the legislation, and he said: “The most learned and appropriate response is that all could still be lost by errant judgments [and] sentencing.” On Tuesday, the United Nations observed ‘International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women’. Dr. Luncheon disclosed that Cabinet on that day “observed a minute of silence for the generations of women who have and continue to be victims of gender-based violence in Guyana.” At an interfaith ceremony held by the Human Services Ministry marking the day’s observance on Tuesday, subject Minister Jennifer Webster revealed that Guyana has recorded ten domestic violence related deaths thus far for 2014 while

20 were recorded in 2013. “Many of our women are still being denied access to justice because it takes time for the investigation process to be completed,” Minister Webster said as she called for lawmakers and investigators to act swiftly in investigating and trying cases of violence against women. At that event, UNFPA Resident Representative, Patrice La Fleur urged greater effort in dealing with the issue since it extends across social, cultural and economic dimensions. La Fleur quoted the words of UNFPA’s Executive Director, Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin saying, “we can have all the laws and policies Cabinet Secretary Dr. Roger Luncheon but if we do not change our traditions, our norms and values which continue to promote violence against women and girls, society will continue to experience the violations which we see daily.”

MAJOR CONCERN Asked whether there are considerations for improving the ability of the judicial system and law enforcement to recognise legislation dealing with domestic violence cases, Dr. Luncheon stated this is a major concern for Cabinet. He said criticisms from the international community have been levelled against Guyana since the presence of laws in the Guyana system is undermined by weak enforcement. Commenting on statistical evidence of poor conviction rates, he said that “it doesn’t speak of the intent of this remarkable series of interventions that pivot around the legislative environment that has been created.” Explaining the way forward, the Cabinet Secretary underlined education as an important part of the fight against domestic and other forms of violence against women. But on the question of reducing the many cases, he said that “we feel education, capacity-building and strengthening the stakeholders in applying the laws and about gender-based violence would have an impact.” Dr. Luncheon spoke at length on the separation of powers, and hinted that while the Executive, being the Government, cannot compel the Judiciary to act, “we can only continue to exert our colleagues on the executive side to collect and compile the information that reflects on performances of the Judiciary.” (Derwayne Wills)

Gov’t concerned over traffic accidents, road fatalities - endorses recommendations of overlooking sub-committee

IN wake of the recent figures released by the Guyana Police Force on road accidents and fatalities thus far for 2014, Cabinet has registered its concern over this situation, and has fully endorsed the recommendations of its sub-committee that was examining this phenomenon. Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon, addressing a post-Cabinet media briefing yesterday, said those recommendations include legislative reform on traffic offences, which means going back to Parliament and enacting legislation, making it easier to prosecute, and in some instances, defining newer offences under the road traffic extant legislation. Another aspect will include more sensitisation and public awareness. “The road safety campaign is of course ongoing, but more has to be done particularly with the observation of that significant at-risk population, the pedes-

trians,” Dr Luncheon stated. The HPS noted that some Cabinet members have even suggested the sensitisation campaign be taken to leisure spots. “Much more sensitisation will have to be provided to make driving less of a hazard to other drivers and pedestrians, and then the third was rendering more effective the policing of the traffic sector, and some of the thoughts included more traffic ranks, the increase presence on the roadways and to whatever extent possible, greater enforcement of the traffic laws.” As at the end of October 2014, 113 road fatalities from 104 accidents were recorded in comparison to 85 fatalities from 79 accidents for the same period in 2013; a 33% increase in fatalities. Dr. Luncheon said Cabinet felt those statistics are terrible, as pedestrians were significantly more at risk for the fatalities that occurred and are occurring in 2014.

He pointed out that speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol were prime contributory factors in this escalating road accidents and fatalities statistics. “By themselves those statistics revealed how dangerous the roads in Guyana are becoming and when compared with previous years and in other jurisdictions, the comparison is even more alarming.” It is the Cabinet’s contention, Dr. Luncheon said, that there are more vehicles on the road, and more drivers and traffic infractions were all increasing and playing a role in this depressing situation. “Even more, Cabinet was counselled, was the fact that the PPP/Civic road programme, an ambitious programme that has seen billions of dollars spent in 2014 for road rehabilitation, that also contributed, is thought to be playing a role in these alarming statistics.” Meanwhile in response

to questions about capacity building for traffic ranks, the Cabinet Secretary conceded that there is the need for such. However, he added that while there is need for improvement, there is equally the need for the quantitative factor to be considered. “There is indeed room for both qualitative and quantitative contribution to the work that the traffic ranks make in this fight against traffic accidents and road fatalities.” PENALTIES FOR INFRACTIONS When asked about introducing harsher penalties for traffic infractions, Dr. Luncheon pointed out that some moves have been made, but noted that more can be done. The last legislative undertaking was via the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2014 which was unanimously passed in the National Assembly, paving the way for

the implementation of the Demerit Points System. The Bill introduces for the first time in Guyana the ‘Demerit Points System’ which would be used to sanction errant drivers. If a person accumulates 10 or more demerit points, but less than 16, the period of disqualification from holding a driver’s license is set at six months. If that person acquires 12 demerit points or more over a 12-month period, the period of disqualification then moves to one year. However, if a person acquires a total of six or more but less than 10

demerit points due to traffic offences committed, the Bill requires the Licensing Authority to notify the driver in writing. Also the Summary Jurisdiction (Procedure) (Amendment) Bill 2013, which was passed by the National Assembly, in January, allows for persons issued with a traffic ticket to pay the prescribed penalty to the clerk of the court of any magisterial district regardless of where the traffic offence was committed – increasing the efficiency of the ticketing system.

Five Guyanese forced to live, work in Suriname – probe underway A JOINT investigation is underway by law enforcement authorities in Guyana and Suriname following the reported case of Trafficking in Persons (TIP) in which five Guyanese were trafficked to the neighbouring Dutch-speaking country and forced to work under harsh conditions on a farm, without pay. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a press release, said that on the afternoon of Friday last (November 21) the Embassy of Guyana in Paramaribo, Suriname, was informed by the Surinamese authorities that five persons, who indicated that they were

Guyanese nationals, were at a Surinamese police station and were being sent to Guyana the following day. In view of the fact that the Embassy was also advised that the persons were victims of TIP, two officials, including the Ambassador, immediately visited the station outside the city of Paramaribo to interview the five males. Details regarding the allegations of trafficking were obtained during that interview and a report was submitted to Guyana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs the very afternoon, given the seriousness of the allegations.

– under harsh conditions without pay

The report to Guyana’s Foreign Ministry included details provided by the individuals about their passage to Suriname, the known name of the alleged perpetrator and where they were located since they arrived in Suriname. The Guyanese Embassy in Suriname was able to confirm that four of the men are from Region 1 and one from Region 4. While all five men were asked to provide telephone numbers for their relatives in Guyana, only four were able to do so. The Embassy was therefore able to make contact with the relatives of three out of four of the individuals who provided contact numbers. There was no response from the number provided by one of

Guyana’s Foreign Minister Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett

the individuals, the ministry reported. The release added that

from the interview, it was also ascertained that the five persons were indeed Guyanese nationals. This confirmation was required since they were all without identification documents. Given the circumstances and the absence of the necessary travel documents (which is an offence ordinarily), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs facilitated their release upon entry into Guyana. The Foreign Affairs Ministry said the report received from the five men has been provided to the Ministry of Home Affairs and the relevant law enforcement authorities of both countries are in contact under the mechanism which exists between the two countries. The Ministry of Foreign

Affairs wishes to advise the public to be wary of ‘too lucrative to be true’ job offers outside of Guyana and where promises of securing the necessary travel documents and work permits are made. Given a previous experience of a similar nature which was reported to the Foreign Ministry, even greater vigilance is advised for the interior communities. Meanwhile, the Guyana Police Force, in a press release yesterday, confirmed that it is investigating the circumstances under which two sets of Guyanese nationals were victims of TIP in Suriname. The Force also alerted members of the Guyanese society to be cautious when they are considering similar job offers.

Guyana’s need to become FATF compliant again stressed – in wake of local pilot’s detention in Puerto Rico over cash find – HPS THE recent incident involving the detention of a Guyanese pilot in Puerto Rico for not declaring more than US$600,000 has once again underlined the urgency for Guyana to pass and enact its Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) bill. This was the fervent view of Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon as he responded to questions about the incident during his regular post-Cabinet media briefing, yesterday. “…these issues point out the need for us to get on with the job of getting CFATF complaint money laundering legislation in Guyana,” Dr. Luncheon told reporters. The Cabinet Secretary said the issue also begs the question whether those who, for whatever reasons are opposing the bill, appear intransigent in the pursuit of CFATF complaint legislation whether by accident, misadventure or purposeful; they may be in cahoots or may be complicit with the pilot or other persons

in the money laundering trade. “The bigger picture we must not lose sight of is a legislative environment and its firm implementation. Money laundering will become less and less of a scourge in this environment. This is what the Government wants and all stakeholders, and of course these are our treaty obligations we are honoured to meet,” he posited. Meanwhile, court documents show that Khamraj Lall was the co-pilot on a flight to Guyana when agents from U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Homeland Security Investigations searched the aircraft when it stopped to refuel. Lall is being held on suspicion of intent to evade currency reporting. More than a year now, the administration has been seeking to pass the AML/CFT bill in the National Assembly with the aim of making Guyana compliant with international financial laws. However, this move has been frustrated at every level by the non-support of the com-

bined Opposition, despite calls by all stakeholders. Only recently President Donald Ramotar had written a letter to President of the Financial Action Task Force, Mr. Roger Wilkins, signalling Government’s commitment to making Guyana FATF compliant. This move, combined with other efforts at several review meetings, has saved Guyana from being blacklisted. (GINA)

Environmental Health Practitioners urged to listen to complaints and work efficiently – at training workshop

THE Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development has collaborated with the Ministry of Health to host a workshop on capacity building for Environmental Health practitioners in the local government system. The workshop which was held yesterday at the Regency Suites hotel on

Hadfield Street, Georgetown, was aimed at building capacity for Environment Health Officers (EHOs), Regional Health Officers (RHOs), and Regional Environmental Health Officers (REHOs), along with other staff. The 105 individuals from the 10 Administrative Regions received training in the

areas of roles and functions of local authorities in the public and environmental health system of Guyana, line and functional relationship between local authorities and public/environmental health practitioners, functional responsibilities among regional departments of health and regional environment health divisions, and the mandate of the Environmental Protection Agency among others. Speaking at the opening

ceremony, Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Norman Whittaker noted that over the past 11 months, the ministry has been conducting such exercises and meetings across the country. He added that these are aimed at identifying shortcomings and challenges and coming up with solutions.

Minister of Health, Dr. Bheri Ramsaran noted that there is room for the enforcement of discipline and added that individuals who

This statement was also complemented by Minister Whittaker, who strongly urged the EHOs to familiarise themselves with the laws and ensure that persons are taken to court for breaching them. He also warned the officers to desist from favouritism and overlooking acts of their friends, and do their jobs efficiently.

Jealous lover convicted of murder – jailed for 83 years JEALOUS lover, 24-yearold Michael Persaud called ‘Mikey’, was yesterday convicted of the murder of Maduri Padumdeo called ‘Sharda’, at the Demerara Assizes and sentenced to 83 years in prison by Presiding

EDITORIAL

GUYANA

Let Guyana breathe THIS was the appeal of a contributor to this newspaper’s Letters Column recently. He lamented the constant carping, nitpicking, naysaying, doomsaying, negative prognostications, projections and pronouncements against transformative programmes and projects by the joint parliamentary political Opposition, in collaborating with their supportive satellites – including anti-Government media houses. He also slammed their unpatriotic actions whereby they have sought to impede the progress of this country under a PPP/C Administration by even attempting to convince investors and supporters of Government’s developmental initiatives

to boycott this nation and its people. Their ploys have been successful in some instances – the withdrawal of the investors and the setback of the Amaila Falls hydro project as an example; and unsuccessful in others, as in their efforts to convince the Norwegian Government to withhold funds meant for carbon capital payments. The West Coast Demerara road project is a massive modernisation project that will improve traffic capacity from Vreed-en-Hoop on the West Coast of Demerara to Hydronie on the East Bank of Essequibo, and will entail total resurfacing and general works to enhance the safety and convenience of both pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

However, in its usual anti-developmental rhetoric, the Opposition is opposing (pun unintended) the project, which was already approved by Parliament, as it will benefit even Opposition parliamentarians living in those communities. Minister of Public Works, Robeson Benn, in responding to threats by the Opposition that the Works Minister will suffer the consequences for unapproved spending during the suspension of the National Assembly, said this move by the Opposition surmises that the APNU is anti-development. “I can only look with continued disappointment and resignation when one looks at the statements that the Opposition has made

in the Kaieteur News…I would remind (them) and say that these projects are for the benefit of the people of Guyana and the statements they made for the West Coast Demerara road, the East Coast and West Bank and East Bank Demerara four-lane expansion, indicate that they are on the path for destabilisation and bringing to a halt the development of the country for narrow political ends…” “I am prepared to suffer any consequences, once it leads to the further development and progress of our country in a clearly positive way,” Minister Benn declared. Several contractors

were awarded a total of US$46,789,000 in contracts, signed by the Government on November 22nd, for varying aspects in the improvement of Guyana’s highways – a necessary development consequenced by the rapid socio-economic growth in the country that has allowed unprecedented wealth-acquisition in the nation, with vehicular traffic correspondingly increasing, among other factors that are immensely contributing to the enormous and near-miraculous transformation in Guyana’s

physical landscape and developmental demographics. But the joint Opposition – void of vision and seemingly devoid of grey matter, apparently thinks (sic!) that their constituents’ vote provided them with the sole mandate to oppose; which it seems they consider their ultimate relevance in the Opposition benches. How much more could our Government achieve if the anti-developmental forces cease their negative rhetoric and actions and allow this nation to breathe.

Is the IACHR promulgating Natural Justice or Bush Law?

THE Inter American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), according to a Kaieteur News article dated Wednesday November 26th, 2014, has said that the Government of Guyana should “protect K/News and staff, investigate AG Nandlall.” In fact, the Kaieteur News published verbatim the statement made by the IACHR in addition to their article. The statement was issued based on a complaint and request for “precautionary measures” that was lodged by one of Kaieteur News Lawyers, Mr. Christopher Ram over the impugned and manipulated recording of the Attorney General, Anil Nandlall which was incidentally, tapped and published by Kaieteur News. According to the IA-

CHR, it granted its precautionary measures “After analysing the factual and legal arguments put forth by (Christopher Ram), the commission considers that the information presented demonstrates prima facie that the members of Kaieteur News journal are in a serious and urgent situation since their lives and personal integrity face an imminent risk of irreparable harm.” Amazingly, the IACHR has issued a statement outlining a prima facie finding based only on the complaint that was made by Mr. Ram. I find it quite perplexing that such a body which should, for all intents and purposes, be neutral would make such a pronouncement before giving the other side a hearing, or even a chance to respond. Does this body which places

Human Rights at its apex not subscribe to the fundamental principles/rules of Natural Justice or do they subscribe to ‘bush laws’? The body, realising its bias and in what appears as an attempt to seem neutral, outlined towards the end of its statement that it is requesting a report within 15 days from the Government since “the present precautionary measures have been granted without having previously requested information from the State, the Commission will review this decision once it receives reports from both parties.” Well if the “Commission will review the decision once it receives reports from both parties,” why did it not wait until a report was given from the Government’s side before issuing its precautionary

measures? The answer is simple and has nothing to do with urgency. The IACHR has taken a biased position and released its precautionary measures at the behest of Kaieteur News through its lawyer. The proof to substantiate this is also within the statement made by the IACHR where the body said that “the request for precautionary measures is presented in favour of the members of Kaieteur News journal, who are identified in the communications presented to the IACHR.” This was not captured in the article done by Kaieteur News for obvious reasons. More disconcerting, is that IACHR armed only with information that was provided by the lawyers of

Kaieteur News formed a definitive pronouncement that indeed, threats were made to the lives of journalists attached to Kaieteur News. I have listened to the impugned recording between the Attorney General and the reporter attached to Kaieteur News and I would like to know on what basis did the IACHR come to the conclusion that “alleged threats” were made by Mr. Nandlall that would place the lives of Kaieteur News staff in danger or “irreparable harm.” All the Attorney General did was highlight that such an eventuality could occur, if the Kaieteur News continues its unabated practices of unethical journalism aimed at tarnishing the character of persons. I am not a lawyer, but my colleagues who are, have expressed that there is

no basis for such a definitive conclusion to be made, even if it is alleged. It would seem that the IACHR has taken a one sided position and, with the premature issuance of its precautionary measures without garnering the input from the State, the body has solidified its bias despite now requesting a report from the other party involved. One would’ve thought that the IACHR would have investigated the journalistic malpractice of Kaieteur News which, for the most part, is aimed at the character assassination of persons who the publisher of the news outfit is not in congruence with. After all, that is a human rights violation.

GUYANESE MUST NEVER FORGET

AS we look to celebrate our 49th year of independence next year, this reminded me of the good times and prosperity Guyanese enjoyed prior to 1962 but then the riots started. It was just a short 19 years later under Burnham’s Dictatorship, that the World Bank and IMF declared Guyana a bankrupt state as poor as Haiti. Let us examine the achievements under Burnham’s illegal regime. No electricity. As soon as night fall Burnham’s goons were out in full force dressed in military fatigues raiding people’s homes along the East Coast, West Coast, East Bank and West Bank corridor robbing them at gunpoint. Wherever street corner meetings were held by the main Opposition party or any other minor party, his goons appeared in truck loads armed with sticks and bottles led by Rabbi Washington (real name David Hill, a known criminal in the United States) and beat everyone. We have just seen similar behaviour played out once again in Linden and Agricola which were organised by the APNU and the AFC in 2012 (with both parties now jointly representing a one-seat majority political Opposition). The sewer system backed

up, filth oozing out the manholes, trenches and canals in the city stunk with putrid water that created a haven for mosquitoes. Corruption was at an all-time high, hence a complete breakdown of law and order. I remembered waiting at the Transport and Harbours Department (THD) wharf for my shipment of casareep, the transport ship ‘The Lady North Coat’ ran out of diesel. On Burnham’s command by phone to Sprostons, a tugboat was sent out to the rescue. Burnham was the law! Our entire railway system was sold out. This included two brand new engines that were presented as gifts from Ottawa, Canada to the state of Guyana on attaining our independence. A colossal shame was brought on us when Jim Jones from the People’s Temple murdered 914 men, women and babies in our jungle. Our airport facilities were in shambles and in a deplorable state. Two flights per week by B.W.I.A to ferry out the mass exodus of Guyanese migrating to foreign lands. This aircraft had to be refueled in Trinidad. The dictatorship passed deliberate “show no mercy act” against our country by banning over 400 food items and medical supplies. The

line ups were long for scarce food items even for sugar and rice, which were produced locally. Having a loaf of bread in your home was enough to land you in jail, while Burnham and his cronies enjoyed life abundance. The astute and great narrator Burnham said in one of his many famous speeches and I quote: “Comrades, you better don’t get sick eh, they ain’t got no drugs and I ain’t bringing none in, if yuall get sick and go inside deh you ain’t coming back out alive and comrades I possess highly tempered steel and I give no quarter and I want none in return”. This was broadcasted simultaneously on both Radio Demerara and G.B.S radio stations. As faith would have it, LFS Burnham became ill, was admitted to “deh” Georgetown Hospital and did not make it out alive. This is poetic justice. Rigging of elections continued even after Burnham’s demise by his successor Desmond Hoyte who grabbed 85% of the votes. The deliverance of our great nation that possesses so much wealth came in October 1992 when the ‘Poverty Nakedness and Crime’ (PNC) was voted out from office. Please note that Hamilton Green, David Granger, Robert Corbin, Carl Greenidge

Violence in schools THE Editorial titled ‘Violence in Schools’ in the November 20th issue of K/News proposed the appointment of Welfare Officers in schools as a potential solution for what was projected as dysfunctional relationships between teachers and students, to the extent where both male, and increasingly female students are physically attacking both male and female teachers. Such (mis)behaviour might very well reflect changing/deteriorating mores in our society, as indeed appears to be the case in other countries. It will not hurt to survey what counter or ameliorative measures have been/are being tried elsewhere so that we do not ‘re-invent the wheel’ or repeat their mistakes. Notwithstanding, I wish to share this thought based on my many years of experience as a primary and secondary school teach-

er. We must be wary of exacerbating the situation by unwittingly introducing intermediaries in the basic student-teacher relationship; any change that is likely to dilute the bond that must necessarily be cultivated and sustained between the student and the teacher might in the long run do more harm than well-meaning good. A Welfare Officer in each school to deal with issues that cannot be dealt with by the hierarchy that currently exists (e.g. Senior teacher, Deputy HM, HM with other professional support available on-call regionally, including psycho-social counselors) might very well undermine the ‘authority-figure’ that must reside in the child’s teacher with support, if necessary from parental involvement. Such ‘undermining’ does no one any good. It merely increases the bureaucracy which, in turn, encourages

buck-passing and reduces accountability for achievement. I can also draw parallels with my decades of experience as a Human Resource Management practitioner and consultant in Industrial, Governmental and International organisations in various cultural contexts. In too many instances I have seen and advised against the dilution of the primary supervisor-supervisee relationship which resulted from introduction of un-necessary intermediaries. To me the most effective solution lies in: ● the professional empowerment of the teacher (or the supervisor as the case might be) by ensuring that the ‘technical’ knowledge of the subjects being taught and the skill of teaching have been acquired ● the necessary pre-appointment orientation and aptitude to deal with the ‘human aspects’ of the job are fully

and Raphael Trotman are all dead beats from Burnham’s illegal regime and are now under the disguise of APNU and AFC. They must never be voted into office ever again! Keep them out at all cost! It is your time now Berbice for development. This has just started and I urge all of you to come out and vote overwhelmingly for the PPP/ Civic Government at the next general elections. Today what do we have after nonstop and relentless lobbying of foreign Governments for free and fair elections by overseas Guyanese who must never be forgotten? The year 1992 came around when we had our first free and fair elections after three decades of Burnham’s PNC dictatorship. Let us examine the list of achievements since 1992 under the PPP elected Government. ► Free and Fair elections were brought back as law ► Revamping of our constitution and reinstating a number of democratic measures ► Working feverishly hard to stamp out and closing all loop holes on corruption, a PNC legacy ► Restoring electricity, water and our phone systems ► Refurbish and building over 100 new schools and 2 universities ► Over 14 new hospitals

in all three counties with modern state of the art technologies ► A new floating bridge in Berbice ► A new and improved C.J. International Airport/Timehri and a new one to start constructions in 2013 ► The new Ogle International Airport ► New laws passed protecting women’s and children’s rights ► Construction of a four lane highway along the East Bank corridor and continuous road improvements ► Regaining the rights to our gold mines after Desmond Hoyte (slow-fyahmore-fyah) sold us out to Omai, who in turn rewarded him with $1M per month until death ► A new state of the art and modern sugar factory at Skeldon ► A new medical management unit with medical and pharmaceutical needs for our entire nation. ► Solar systems for Amerindians as part of the fair and equitable treatment to enhance their lives ► Pumping stations of water, kokers, canals and drains to prevent flooding ► A 25 mile stretch of highway up to Mahaica along the old train tracks (Railway Embankment) ► New traffic lights in

satisfied initially ● continually being upgraded in the light of contextual changes and new developments in substantive subject matter as well as societal dynamics In this regard one must ask to what extent are teachers trained in inter-personal relationships, counselling and leadership before they start working as teachers. My guess is that most entrants into the ‘teaching profession’ get very little, if any pre-appointment preparation for the most challenging job as a teacher. How many just move ‘overnight’ after graduating as a student to being a teacher where some may indeed quickly learn ‘to swim’ while several others just float or sink? I do believe that much more will be gained if we select and prepare our teachers better to perform as the ‘gurus’ of yore, the real teachers, rather than propping them up with school counsellors or welfare officers.

Observance of International Day of Violence against Women

NOWRANG PERSAUD

THE Clerical & Commercial Workers’ Union (CCWU) calls to say “No” and stop violence against women. The world observed International Day of Violence against Women on November 25, 2014. Violence against women is a big issue worldwide, and especially here in Guyana. Violence in the home leads to physical and mental health issues for all members experiencing violence. What is sad is that this violence stops women from enjoying their basic rights, to work, to help raise a family, to live a long, healthy life, free of fear. We heard over and over again about gender equality, that women should have equal rights as men. We know some of the poor health statistics that women have, including maternal death. So what can be done to improve the lives of women so that

Georgetown ► Housing for over 100,000 Guyanese, new communities rising up ► The new Providence Stadium ► One Laptop computer per house hold free of cost; a boost to our education system via the new TV learning channel ► The new Takutu Bridge on the Guyana-Brazil border near Lethem ► Over 700 million US dollars sitting in our Central Bank and the list goes on and on Finally, I am proud to say that, as the LIAT aircraft that I travelled in approached the Coast line of Georgetown coming in from Barbados, I looked down and was in awe at the amount of lights. For a moment Georgetown appeared to look like Puerto Rico; what a lovely sight. Kudos to the PPP/Civic Government and special thanks to former President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo who has shown the political will to lead and I have no doubt that President Donald Ramotar will elevate our Guyana to the next level of continued progress. The holocaust is never forgotten. Guyanese must never forget! MIKE GOMES Toronto, Canada

they can enjoy the same rights that men do? Men must play a very important role in reaching gender equality for all. They should be part of the solution. Men need to have role models who teach them good leadership and problem solving skills and treat women with respect, both men and women need to work together without the use of violence. It also serves as a day to keep women’s issues in the spotlight because, despite all of their accomplishments, women still do not enjoy the same rights as men. They are still more likely to die from HIV/ AIDS, live in poverty, and to suffer from gender based violence. SHERWOOD CLARKE President Clerical & Commercial Workers Union

– seven countries graduate out of CFATF/ICRG process

terrorist financing; establishing and implementing adequate procedures for the confiscation of assets related to money laundering; establishing and implementing an adequate legal framework for identifying, tracing and freezing terrorist assets; establishing a fully operational and effectively functioning financial intelligence unit; establishing effective measures for customer due diligence and enhancing financial transparency; strengthening suspicious transaction reporting requirements; and implementing an adequate supervisory framework. In the meanwhile, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, and Trinidad and Tobago all graduated out of the CFATF/ ICRG review process, Attorney-General Nandlall said. Guyana, unfortunately, remains as the only country in the CFATF grouping that was referred to, and is under review at the FATF/ICRG level.

CFATF urges Guyana to implement its Action Plan – as approved by FATF THE Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF), at its Plenary Meeting XL, and Special Ministerial V Meeting in El Salvador, yesterday urged Guyana to implement its action plan that was approved by CFATF’s parent body, the Paris-based Financial Action Task Force (FATF). President Donald Ramotar had written FATF’s P r e s i d e n t , M r. R o g e r Wilkins pledging on behalf of Guyana, the Government’s high level political commitment to implement the action plan developed between the Guyana Government and the International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG). That letter was delivered to Mr. Wilkins by Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall in October in Paris, France. The letter recognises the high-level political com-

mitment which President Ramotar has given to bring Guyana into compliance with the international Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT)

regime. In October 2014, Guyana made a high-level political commitment to work with the FATF and CFATF to address its strategic AML/CFT deficiencies. FATF, on its

website, stated that Guyana will work on implementing its action plan to address these deficiencies. Among those listed are: adequately criminalising money laundering and

The Attorney-General had earlier this week informed the meeting in El Salvador that the AML non legislative measures are being implemented with dispatch and there is the possibility that these will be completed long before the May 2015 deadline. With regards the legislative measures, the Attorney-General pointed out that this is the area which continues to pose tremendous challenges to the Government of Guyana since up until the Paris meeting, the majority comprising the joint Opposition in the National Assembly refused to lend their support to the enactment of the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill which captures all the requisite legislative measures. Yesterday also, Anand Ramlogan, Trinidad and Tobago’s Attorney General was elected the Deputy Chairman of CFATF. The Chairperson is Allyson Maynard-Gibson, Attorney General of the Bahamas. (GINA)

Kaieteur News report not factual I REFER to page 6 of the Kaieteur News (November 6th, 2014) under the caption ‘The World is watching Police investigation – APNU’. That part of the article in relation to “investigation” is reported to have been stated by Mr. Joseph Harmon, Attorney-at-Law and General Secretary of A Partnership for National Unity. I hold no brief for the Attorney General, I am not a member of any political party and even though the language used by the Attorney General leaves much to be desired, as a practising Attorney-at-Law, I think it is my duty to the public to give my opinion on what is and what is not a “threat” for the purposes of the law. At common Law in England, which was received in British Guiana (now

Guyana) there is no offence of threatening language or threatening behaviour. The use of a threat in England amounts to the offence of “assault” if certain elements are present. For an assault to be committed in England there must be some act done or words spoken by the person accused. There cannot be an assault by omission in England. To constitute an assault in England, a threat must be issued by the accused to the victim and the victim must apprehend immediate and unlawful personal violence: It follows, on the assumption that a threat was issued by the Attorney General (an assumption which cannot be validly made) it amounts to a threat that someone may do harm some time in the future and therefore

cannot amount to an assault at Common Law: Stevens –v- Myers (1830) 4 C and P 349. Further, the Attorney General did not say he would do any harm. Since an assault is any act or words by which a person intentionally causes another to apprehend immediate and unlawful personal violence it cannot be committed on a person if that act or the words are not done or communicated to that other person directly. Guyana’s Criminal Law does not recognise the offence of “battery”. In England “battery” is an offence. Instead under Guyana two principal criminal statutes, chapter 8:01 and 8:02, the offence of assault is only committed where there is a physical contact, however slight, by the assailant upon the victim.

In Guyana the equivalent to the English assault is threatening language or threatening behaviour by virtue of Section 141 (a) of the Summary Jurisdiction (Offences) Act, Chapter 8:02. Threatening behaviour does not arise in Nandlall’s case. It is obvious that for the offence of threatening language to be committed under sub section (a) there must be proof which would satisfy the ingredients of the offence of assault in England. In other words the threat must be communicated to the person threatened directly and in his presence and not through a third person, in this case the reporter. It is clear that no threat was issued to Mr. Glen Lall directly. Additionally, as far as threatening language is concerned, the sub-section cre-

ates two distinct offences; firstly threatening language with intent to provoke someone to commit a breach of the peace and, secondly, threatening language whereby a breach of the peace may be occasioned. My opinion is there cannot be a “provoking” unless the threat is issued to another in a “face to face” situation; neither can a breach of the peace be occasioned unless the threat is similarly issued. A threat to ‘A’ through ‘B’ does not amount to an offence. In the circumstances, there could be no allegation that an offence was committed by the Attorney General that would warrant a police investigation; nor can the Attorney General be questioned by the police since no offence is alleged to have been committed by him.

It is note-worthy that a person “invited” by the police to accompany them to a station is under no obligation to do so. The police can take a person to the station only by arresting him. For an arrest to be made, certain conditions, which do not exist in the instant situation, must be present. Otherwise, the arrest would be illegal. No amount of partisan political aversion can render what is not criminally unlawful a crime, or, more particularly, an ominous warning of a criminal threat. Those who are interested are referred to R v Zwicker [1938] 1 D.L.R. 461, Bryan v Robinson [1960] 1 W.L.R 506 and Kendall v Khan (1979) 26 W.L.R 433. MURSELINE BACCHUS

Awaiting CARICOM’s choice for new Commonwealth SG

– Sir Ron Sanders is Region’s current front-running candidate Analysis by Rickey Singh WHEN Caribbean Community Heads of Government meet with President Raoul Castro in Havana for the Fifth CARICOM/ Cuba Summit on December 8, one outstanding non-agenda issue they have to resolve on the margins of their conference is reaching a consensus on the Community’s choice for a new Secretary General of the Commonwealth. Time is running out for this consensus. Another important initiative could well be, within the framework of their official work agenda in Havana, the crafting of a message to President Barack Obama to express admiration for his principled stand in exercising constitutional-based executive authority for arresting the nightmare of deportation facing approximately five million undocumented immigrants - among them thousands of CARICOM-born citizens of the American diaspora. It is to be expected that the communiqué on the fifth CARICOM/Cuba summit would itself reflect the comparatively positive recent developments surfacing in Washington/Havana relations. In particular, President Obama’s personal diplomatic outreach to President Castro’s government against

Sir Ronald Sanders

the backdrop of his publicly expressed “admiration” for Cuba’s commitment to help battle the Ebola epidemic afflicting African nations. A MORAL OBLIGATION However, in relation to the consensual decision on the Community’s choice for the post of new Commonwealth Secretary General, this has been twice postponed: First, at last July’s annual CARICOM Summit in Antigua, and subsequently during the hurriedly arranged special meeting earlier this month in Port-of-Spain, hosted by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to discuss common approaches to combat the Ebola epidemic. With just one year remaining, as of this month, before the scheduled November 2015 Commonwealth

Heads of Government Conference in Malta, CARICOM has a moral obligation to identify a “consensual” candidate to facilitate campaigning for the post of Secretary General of the 53-member Commonwealth of nations. The convention that has developed over the years is for the post of Secretary General - normally for a minimum two terms - to be rotated on a regional basis. The outgoing two-term Secretary General is India’s Kamalesh Sharma. And since neither European Commonwealth states, nor Canada—whose turn it really is - has to date shown an official interest in occupying the post once held by the renown Canadian, Secretary General Arnold Smith, focus keeps shifting between Africa - which also had its period, as well as the Pacific. However, according to the current edition of ‘Africa Today’, reputedly an influential news magazine in Africa, a former Deputy Secretary General of the Commonwealth, Ms Masire of Botswana, seems to have acquired some support for her bid as a candidate from SADC (Southern African Development Corporation) But the magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, Kayode Soyinka, has reported on the growing interest in the Caribbean region having an opportunity for one of its nationals to again serve as Secretary

General, as it would be a quarter century since Guyana-born Sir Shridath Ramphal departed after serving a unique three terms. OF SIGNIFICANCE Of significance is that, like the respected analyst of economic, social and political developments in Europe and the Caribbean,

Dr Bhoe Tewarie

David Jessop, Director of the London-based Caribbean Council, the editor of ‘Africa Today’ also feels that continued “squabbling” among CARICOM member states could jeopardise this Region’s chance to win wider support for the prize of Commonwealth Secretary General at the November 2015 Commonwealth Heads of Government Conference scheduled for Malta. Currently, there are a trio

of potential candidates from CARICOM for the post of Commonwealth Secretary General with Antigua and Barbuda’s former long serving diplomat in Britain, Sir Ronald Sanders as the current front-runner with at least nine of a dozen eligible votes among the English-speaking independent states since Haiti and Suriname are not members of the Commonwealth. The two other candidates seeking CARICOM’s consensual endorsement are Trinidad and Tobago’s former long-serving academic with the University of the West Indies and current Minister of Planning and Development, Dr. Bhoe Tewarie; and Britain’s Baroness Scotland, nominated by Dominica, country of birth, but living and working in Britain all of her adult life. Both Soyinka of ‘Africa Today’, and the Caribbean Council’s Jessop—also a syndicated columnist for regional newspapers - have expressed surprise and reservations against Baroness Scotland’s bid for election as new Commonwealth Secretary General. This is based on her history of involvement in Britain’s party politics and, up to recently, serving as Attorney General of the United Kingdom and now to be a nominee of Dominica. Of significance, Sonyinka and Jessop have given pluses in favour of Antigua

and Barbuda’s Sanders, who currently blends academic work with that of a syndicated columnist while anxiously awaiting the “consensual”

Baroness Scotland

nod from CARICOM Heads of Government. Question of immediate relevance is whether CARICOM leaders will deliver this long-delayed ‘nod’ after their forthcoming triennial summit with Cuba in Havana on December 8. The trio of potential candidates, identified with this Region, and hoping to secure the prize of Commonwealth Secretary General at the November 2015 summit in Malta, would certainly be most anxious to learn who emerges as CARICOM’s “consensus” choice!

Minister Ramsammy dismisses Stabroek News article – says disruption of meeting in UK was orchestrated MINISTER of Agriculture Dr. Leslie Ramsammy has dismissed allegations in an article in yesterday’s edition of the Stabroek Newspaper titled ‘Ramsammy confronted at UK meeting over prorogation, alleged links to Roger Khan’. The article stated that the minister came under fire at a recent forum in the UK for misleading Guyanese citizens about the government’s suspension of

Parliament and over his alleged ties to now convicted drug kingpin Roger Khan. The Stabroek News said Ramsammy was confronted by self-described political activist Norman Browne, who questioned why he was at the forum and not the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Minister Ramsammy, told the Government Information Agency (GINA), that, “my own impression is that it was orchestrated

because one person came to tape that part of the meeting, only that part and once they said what they said, they left.” He pointed out that he was in London for the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) meeting and during his stay, the High Commissioner in London invited him to a meeting to allow him to interact with the Diaspora. Dr. Ramsammy added

that during the meeting the interest of the Diaspora was that of the Prorogation of the Parliament and that is what he centered his discussion on. However, about 15 minutes into the discussion he was interrupted by a man who walked in and “seemed to take over the meeting”. The Agriculture Minister described this individual’s behaviour as insulting, uncouth and loud. Minister Ramsammy pointed out that

Dr. Leslie Ramsammy, Minister of Agriculture

at this point the Chairman of the meeting appealed to the man that he waits until

the minister was finished speaking to ask questions, but the young man refused to do so. This was followed by calls from the participants at the meeting for him to allow the minister to speak, but these also went unheard. He made allegations towards various Guyanese ministers such as they are on the wanted list among others. As for statements in the newspaper about the police’s intervention, the minister said he has no knowledge of such.

Speaking at the ceremony, the Chief Education Officer congratulated the students on their achievements and told them that this was not the end of the bridge for them as he encouraged them to further their studies. “I know today is a special day for all of you - let’s hope you all benefited from the programme and I urge you to make the best out of what you have learnt and continue to further your education by moving on to higher grounds,” the Chief Education Officer said. The CSHE principal, Ms. Harris, in her presentation, said they were happy to present eighty-nine students who were graduating from the institution in various fields related to Home Economics

Chief Production and Design Officer, Mrs. Kim Gordon delivers her brief remarks as well as Tourism and Hospitality. Ms. Harris said she hoped those who graduated will proceed into the world of commerce and some into further study. “We have that trust that they will all experience improved quality of life for themselves and their families, which is our ultimate hope,” the principal said. Meanwhile, Chief Craft Production and Design Officer, Mrs. Kim Gordon wished the graduands the best in the future. She said that “those who are graduating today will be proceeding into the world of commerce or institutions of advanced learning and some will continue to further their studies in the Visual Arts area or in what they are comfortable doing.” Mrs. Gordon reminded the students and other invi-

tees at the graduation ceremony that the Craft Division has been housed in the CSHE compound since 1995 and it is seen mainly as a remedial institution which attracts mostly young females from all sections of society. “The Craft Production and Design Division is among the most relevant technical vocational institutions in Guyana. It also plays a significant role in making training available for early school leavers. It fits neatly into the national initiative, especially with the recent completion of the first national strategic plan for TVET,” Mrs. Gordon said. Noting that it is the first of its kind in the Caribbean, Mrs. Gordon said it forms a component of the Ministry of Education 2013-2018 Strategic Plan. “Our institution is heartened to be a small part of that whole,” she said.

Youth can propel Guyana’s socio-economic development - UNFPA Report

YOUNG people constitute more than 60 percent of Guyana’s population, and can contribute exponentially to its social and economic development, according to the UNFPA State of the World’s Population 2014 Report, which drew heavily from its finding that a sound investment in a country’s young human capital could show exponential increases in economic growth. Launched on Wednesday last at the Princess Hotel at Providence, East Bank Demerara under the title ‘The Power of 1.8 Billion: Adolescents, Youth and the Transformation of the Future’, the UNFPA designed the State of the World’s Population Report to give a voice to young people because they were being stifled with adult concerns in this world. Its website details that the UNFPA was set up in 1969 “for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every birth is safe, and every young person's potential is fulfilled.” “One of the areas that we would like to focus on is the area of youth,” Culture, Youth and Sport Minister

Dr. Frank Anthony said as he plugged the need for discussions on youth empowerment to spread across areas of education, employment, health, peace, security, governance and participation. Dr. Anthony noted that these areas for youth engagement are currently on the cards, but “we need to develop quality indicators that would help us to measure what it is that we have accomplished, or what it is we want to accomplish over the next 15 years. “There is the need to do more research so that we could have a better assessment of the situation relating to youth,” Dr. Anthony conceded. He acknowledged that there are reports which clearly express the status of youth in various aspects, but was concerned that “what has been lacking is that they produced the reports but we did not get the kind of support at the global level, in terms of resources, to implement the programmes that we have identified.” Dr. Anthony lauded efforts of the consultative youth forum to include the youth

UN Resident Coordinator, Khadija Musa voices in the Post-2015 Millennium Development Goals’ (MDG) agenda. Following presentation of the much-anticipated State of the World’s Population 2014 Report, a two-day youth consultation facilitated by UNFPA, Guyana will see over 100 young people from the ten administrative regions voicing their concerns in a forum aimed at highlighting youth

engagement at all levels in the future development agenda. Information gathered from the youth voice will aid in ongoing efforts of national actors to engage youth in dialogue on the emerging Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which will follow the Millennium Development Goals. A draft document prepared during discussions will see the participants highlighting areas

of priority focus for Guyana’s own development agenda. “Never before have there been more young people. How we meet the needs and aspirations of young people and enable them to enjoy their rights will define our common future,” United Nations Resident Coordinator, Khadija Musa has said. Stressing the importance of youth empowerment to the economy, Musa report-

ed: “East Asia invested in its young people’s human capital, starting in the 1960s, enabling the Region to recognise its ‘democratic dividend’, contribute to a six percentage point surge in GDP [Gross Domestic Product], and quadruple per capita income in some countries.” It has been noted that nine of ten of the world’s 1.8 billion young people live in less developed countries and are often plagued with obstacles, reducing their rights to health, education, and freedom from violence. “A world in which a quarter of humanity is without full enjoyment of their rights is a world without the basic building blocks for change and progress,” the UN Resident Coordinator added. The State of the World’s Population Report makes a case for urgent investment in young people, to be engaged in their communities and the development of their nations. The UNFPA report shows that the return in investment, particularly in young women and adolescent girls, can be enormous, with a potential to catapult developing economies forward by eliminating extreme poverty.

GWI starts countrywide disconnection of defaulters on Dec. 1 - no guarantee of reconnection in time for Christmas

THE Guyana Water Inc. (GWI) said yesterday that it will begin its annual countrywide disconnection exercise for unpaid water service charges on December 1. According to Customer Services Manager, Jeannette Thomas, there was a significant response to the company’s ‘Free Pass’ promotion in which disconnected customers were offered free reconnection. “In excess of 2,000 customers countrywide responded to our ‘Free Pass’ promotion,” Thomas said. “However, there are some customers who refuse to make contact with our Customer Services offices to settle their arrears. Hence we are forced to execute our annual disconnection campaign to remove the services of those customers who simply refuse to pay for their service.” To encourage customers to make payments before the annual countrywide disconnection exercise, GWI had launched the ‘Free Pass’ promotion, intensified its community outreach programme ‘Community Connect’, and sent payment remind-

er letters to customers and businesses. GWI also made public announcements in rural communities, sent SMS/text messages to more than 200,000 customers and invested in a public awareness campaign via radio, television, newspapers and Internet-based media. Meanwhile, the water company has employed additional staff members to function in the utility’s new Enforcement Unit which will monitor communities countrywide for customers who have illegally reconnected their service or engaged in tampering. The GWI enforcement teams will also remove the entire service of customers who have received more than two warnings regarding their outstanding water service charges. “Despite written correspondences and our ‘Free Pass’ promotion, some customers have made no effort to pay their outstanding debt,” the Customer Services Manager said. “We have no other choice but to remove the entire service

of these customers. These customers will have to reapply for a new service and pay the full cost of installation. This is a last resort since the company must recover the cost of providing water service countrywide.” NO GUARANTEE Thomas also warned that due to the number of customers scheduled for disconnection, GWI cannot guarantee that disconnected customers will be reconnected in time for the Christmas holidays. “If customers are disconnected in December, due to the large disconnection list, GWI cannot guarantee that every customer will be reconnected in time for Christmas Day,” Thomas said. “Therefore, we are pleading with our customers to avoid such an uncomfortable situation and visit a GWI office now. For customers with large debt, GWI ‘Wallet-friendly’ payment plans are available,” Thomas added.

Missing MFK Trading boss…

Police looking at logistics in sending body samples to Trinidad – Crime Chief CRIME Chief, Leslie James yesterday said the police are looking at the logistics before the body samples suspected to be from MFK Trading owner, Mohamed Khan are sent to Trinidad for DNA testing. James reiterated that the same officer who would be accompanying the samples would also be returning with samples which are suspected to be from Secondary School teacher, Nyozi Goodman who went missing. Weeks after the teacher went missing the badly decomposed remains of a female were discovered in an empty lot at Turkeyen on the lower East Coast of Demerara and it was concluded by students and relatives of the teacher that the remains were hers.

The Crime Chief yesterday said that the same officer dealing with the samples suspected to be from the MFK owner is the one who took the samples suspected to be from Goodman to Trinidad a few months back. He said part of the logistics include the readiness of the officer to travel to Trinidad to accompany the suspected MFK boss samples and receive those suspected to be from the school teacher. The Guyana Police Force has taken a position to send the samples to Trinidad after samples which were sent to Jamaica after bank employee Sheema Mangar was killed on September 11, 2010 have not yet been returned with any results.

The issue with the samples of the bank employee was so glaring that even President Donald Ramotar and Home Affairs Minister, Clement Rohee in the past expressed their frustration with the development. Usually Guyana would look to Brazil, Jamaica and Trinidad to have samples tested but have found that working with Jamaica has proved to be an embarrassment, hence the decision to have the samples of the two decomposed remains sent to Trinidad this time. This newspaper was told by the Crime Chief three weeks ago that the samples suspected to be that of the teacher are ready to be picked up as tests were successfully completed. (Leroy Smith)

‘A’ Division commander holds second outreach in Diamond

A resident addresses the officers during the outreach

The mother raises the issue of her son’s hijacked car SENIOR police officers in ‘A’ Division on Saturday last held their second outreach with residents of Diamond Housing Scheme. The residents met with Commander Clifton Hicken; Traffic Officer Trotz; Sub-divisional Officer Parsharam; Deputy Commander De Hearte and other ranks. The meeting was held at the Diamond Secondary School and was organised by the Community Policing Group in the area as a follow- up meeting to one held earlier this year, weeks after Hicken took command of ‘A’ Division. The commander reported to residents, the success of strategies and plans which were agreed at the first meeting, most of which the residents had requested on the front of policing. He also outlined areas which the force through the division

needs to work on a bit harder to complement the work of the community policing group and vice-versa. The issues of bicycle patrols; traffic congestion heading out of Diamond; break and enter crimes; ranks who neglect their duties; the police response to crimes; the noise nuisance and cooperation between police ranks and members of the community The police team was told of a particular traffic rank whose name was given and whom residents said would stop drivers for speeding and when that errant driver is allowed to leave, the cop would fail to reset the speed gun and use the same reading on other vehicles, even if the other drivers are driving within the speed limit. This did cause the commander to be upset and he called on the

residents to make a formal complaint, so that the matter could be investigated and the rank called to account. Residents also raised the notion of being better overlookers of their neighbours’ properties by encouraging networking and sharing of numbers, so that everyone within the community has everyone’s number ; in that way, information could be easily shared and a better system of looking out for each other could be adopted as they seek to counter incidents of break and enter and larceny. There was also a case in which a young man was held at gunpoint and his car hijacked; while he was heading out of the village, he met a police patrol and reported the incident. Instead of sending a message over the radio network to alert other ranks in the area however, the police reportedly told the 25 year old that the vehicle they were using does not have the speed to pursue a fleeing car and that he needed to return to the Diamond Police Station to make a report. This, while the party of policemen reportedly continued their purchase of food at a Chinese restaurant ,where they were met by the young man. The ranks’ behaviour was seen as a breach of the standard operating procedures by Commander Hicken, who assured the young man’s mother that the matter will be investigated. Residents who raised the noise nuisance issue and their reports to the police were advised that they do need to give statements in addition to their reports if they wish to see the prosecution of those who continuously play music at a loud volume that causes any form of discomfort to others. In closing, Hicken and his senior officers re-affirmed the commitment of the Guyana Police Force to ensure that all citizens are able to live a life free from elements who choose to be on the other side of the law and cause discomfort to law- abiding citizens.

Food & Drug Department warns against counterfeit drugs, cosmetics – on local market

MEDICAL drug importers and other stakeholders yesterday participated in a one-day conference that focused on sensitising importers and the general public on the issues of substandard, spurious, falsely-labelled, falsified and counterfeit (SSFFC) drugs. The conference was held by the Government Analyst - Food and Drug Department (GA-FDD) in collaboration with the Pan American Health Organisation, at Cara Lodge. Speaking at the conference, Director of the GAFDD, Marlan Cole, stated that the Department aims to showcase the challenges which Guyana faces when it comes to SSFFC drugs and products. Cole noted that in less than a year, they have encountered a high amount of reported incidents where persons allegedly fell after the use of a particular drug or medicine and cosmetics also. LOTS OF SSFFC PRODUCTS As a result, Cole said, the GA-FDD has intensified their means of investigations and have since recovered a lot of SSFFC products being sold in stores and pharmacies locally. He added that PAHO has also rendered assistance to the GA-FDD in their effort to reduce the quantity of SSFFC products being sold on the local markets. Cole noted that apart from intensifying their investigations, they have been making efforts to enhance the food and drug act which governs the work of the GAFDD. NEW FOOD AND DRUG LAB He also disclosed that the

Some of the counterfeited items were on display yesterday at the conference

GA-FDD will soon be developing a new state-of-the-art food and drug lab which is critical for the consistent and continuous analysis of food and medical drugs being sold locally. The Ministry of Health,

drugs and products is a major issue across the globe. Dr. Adu-Krow noted that use of SSFFC drugs and products can prove to be fatal because of their inability to cure patients. He said that recently the

Director of GA-FDD Marlan Cole

in April, held a seminar where the owners of pharmacies were briefed on the requirements and regulations of the GA-FDD. In closing, Cole noted that they will continue to work towards developing and maintaining the technical skills and competency of their staff to ensure that the local markets are free of SSFFC products. Also speaking at the conference, PAHO/WHO Country Representative, Dr. William Adu-Krow, stated that the marketing of SSFFC

MOH along with PAHO have been carrying out tests on malaria tablets because there were recent reports of persons receiving malaria tablets which were ineffective. Dr. Adu-Krow noted also that there is need for more resources in Guyana to test for SSFFC drugs and products. Meanwhile, in an advisory issued last week, the GAFDD is warning consumers that there is a counterfeit Bio-Oil product that is being offered for sale on the local market. The GA-FDD said the

authorised distributor of this product, Massy Distribution, had lodged an official complaint with the department and an investigation was subsequently launched. Moreover, the department has been in direct communication with Nova Group Corporation, the distributor of Bio-Oil in the Caribbean. Nova Group has furnished the department with results of an independent analysis on the counterfeit Bio-Oil from Colombia Pharmaceuticals Laboratory. In addition the GA-FDD has dispatched a request for the specification(s) of the Bio-Oil from the manufacture, Swiss Union, in order to conduct additional analysis. According to online sources, Bio Oil is a topical skin care oil that may help improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, aging skin and uneven skin tone. It can be used on the body or face but users must avoid the delicate eye area. ORIGINAL BIO-OIL Meanwhile, the following are characteristics of the original Bio-Oil: It is thick in consistency with an orange colour and the label of the original product reads, “Distributed by Nova Marketing Services Inc.”

The net content is presented in ml and fl. Oz. (60ml/2FL.OZ), “Aging Skin” spelt without an E is on the original label, Farnesol and D&C Red No.17 is on the list of ingredients and instructions for use from the second trimester of pregnancy. The retail cost for the original product is approximately $2,100 for a 60ml/ 2fl.oz bottle and $3, 544 for a 125ml/4fl. oz bottle. COUNTERFEIT BIOOIL The following are characteristics of the counterfeit Bio-Oil: It is thin in consistency with a light peach colour and on the label of the counterfeited product reads Union Swiss (pty) Ltd. PO Box 2629, Cape Town, South Africa, while the net content is presented in ml only (60ml/125ml), Also “Ageing Skin” spelt with an E is on the counterfeited label, Farnesol and D&C Red No. 17 is absent from the list of ingredients and with instructions for use from the first trimester of pregnancy. Lastly the counterfeited version has non-greasy and no preservatives stated on the label and the retail cost for the counterfeited prod-

uct is approximately $800 for a 60ml bottle and $1,000 for a 125ml bottle. The GA-FDD said it has carried out inspections and enforcement exercises by visiting a number of retail premises in Georgetown. Approximately 4 cases x 24 x 60ml/ 2 fl. oz, 4 cases x 24 x 125ml/4 fl. oz and 1 case x 24 x 200ml/6 fl. oz of Bio-Oil products were seized and removed from the premises of several retail entities and efforts are being made to locate the extract source/supplier of the counterfeited Bio-Oil on the local market. Details of the department’s operations and findings have been dispatched to Environmental Health Officers in the 10 administrative regions of the country who will conduct similar exercises to ensure the local market is free of the counterfeited Bio-Oil. The department said it will continue to work with the general public and stakeholders to ensure that consumers are not exposed to this public health risk and are calling on consumers to be very cautious when purchasing items that are offered at a significantly reduced price.

Sir Shridath Ramphal launches ‘Glimpses of a Global Life’ – describes life as one he felt privileged to have lived

By Ravin Singh RENOWNED Guyanese-born international diplomat and icon, Sir Shridath Ramphal, last evening launched his memoir ‘Glimpses of a Global Life’ which provides a detailed outline of his successful life, referencing historical elements which helped in shaping what he described as a life he felt privileged to have live. The event which was held at the Georgetown Club, was attended by President Donald Ramotar, Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, Foreign Affairs Minister Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett (who facilitated hosting of the event), Opposition Leader David Granger, other Members of Parliament and members of the Diplomatic community who sought to share the memorable moment with one of Guyana’s iconic figures.

Government of Guyana and the Commonwealth, of which he was a very distinguished Secretary General, which he would often “divert” from before returning to the topical issue. As such, she noted that, ‘Glimpses of a Global Life’ is therefore very much welcomed and appreciated since on a personal level it has provided her with several answers from Sir Shridath Ramphal’s perspective on issues in the earlier days. These 624 pages, she related to the audience, “provide

to add that more could have been written but because of limitations and, “the size of the book”, he was constrained. This, however, did not deter him from reading four excerpts from ‘Glimpses of a Global Life’ for his very attentive and appreciative audience. While the audience would have found some of the accounts of his life very informative and educational, amusement surrounded many experiences which he reflected on. It was to this extent that Sir Shridath Ramphal ended by

‘MAN OF THE MOMENT!’ Sir Shridath Ramphal giving his remarks last evening at the launching of his book

In brief remarks to the gathering, President Ramotar congratulated Sir Shridath Ramphal on this achievement and outlined the importance and relevance of such materials to Guyana presently. “The book is not just about Foreign Affairs, the beginning of the book is a fairly concise history of our country and it also shows that we have produced internationalists at a very early period in Guyana’s development,” President Ramotar said, adding that Sir Shridath is one person who would have had an interesting and an important orientation at a very young age. Having gone through half of the book, the Guyanese Head of State praised the author, describing his writing as “beautiful”, while adding that the basic nature of the content makes it very easy for one to read. The President further described his experiences, coming into contact with Sir Shri-

was interesting to note was that Sir Shridath sought to provide a balanced account by focusing on both the shortcomings in his time and the failures within that period. “There was no part of the book that is short of fascinating,” he assured. Shifting the spotlight on the icon for the evening saw nothing short of a beautiful orator and a man of academic wealth, when Sir Shridath Ramphal took to the podium to speak on his book. According to Sir Shridath, who expressed heartfelt appre-

knowing about the personal life of the author, he explained that through the book, he is now more exposed to Sir Shridath’s personal life. He related that the book is one which records Guyana’s foreign policy and the nation’s struggles which were encountered during that time. “This memoir gives us an insight on some of the main players and their thinking which to me is invaluable,”

President Ramotar told the distinguished gathering. Sharing the moment with Sir Shridath, who was also former Foreign Affairs Minister of Guyana, was present Foreign Affairs Minister, Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, who described him as an “asset” to the Ministry, to the Government of Guyana and the Country as a whole. Noting that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was pleased to be a part of such an event which seeks to promote the work of those who lead the Ministry at some point in time for the benefit of this generation and generations to come, Minister Rodrigues-Birkett disclosed that Sir Shridath’s contributions to Guyana extend beyond the call of duty. She recalled that subsequent to her assuming the position of Foreign Affairs Minister, Sir Shridath would have paid her several visits to discuss a number of issues for Guyana and for the Foreign Ministry to take a lead on, for national development. It is to this extent that she sought to garner information on his years of service to the

us with glimpses of a life of service and dedication during Guyana’s infancy.” Introducing the author himself was award winning writer, Dr Ian McDonald who elaborated on Sir Shridath’s years of experience and achievements in both the academic and international fields. According to McDonald, Sir Shridath would have played a critical role in some of the greatest struggles for freedom, while he served in many portfolios. He added that while many writers would focus heavily on successes in their writing, what

ciation for words which would have been uttered by previous speakers at the event, book launchers are not occasions for authors to speak, but should provide an opportunity for the book to speak. Explaining that Foreign Ministries worldwide are held close to him, Sir Shridath was quick to add that Guyana’s Foreign Affairs Ministry is one which has a special place in his heart and as such, he was grateful for the efforts by the Ministry to facilitate such an occasion. While he acknowledged many benefactors, he was keen

disclosing that ‘Glimpses of a Global Life’ record accounts of a life that he felt privileged to have lived. Born in British Guyana in 1928, Sir Shridath Ramphal served as the second Commonwealth Secretary-General from 1975 to 1990. Prior to this he served as the Foreign Minister of Guyana, from 1972 to 1975. A recipient of numerous awards and honours from several countries, international bodies and academic institutions, including Knighthood from Her Majesty the Queen of England, his involvement with the movement for a West Indies Federation as Assistant Attorney General marked the commencement of a distinctive record of advancing the process of Caribbean development. In spite of his high international standing and involvement in international affairs, Sir Shridath Ramphal remains loyal and dedicated to the issues of development in the Caribbean homeland and provided yeoman service as Chancellor of the University of The West Indies and the University of Guyana.

Police release cell numbers of commanders, other senior officers IN its efforts to further broaden the scope of community relations between members of the Guyana Police Force at the senior level and residents in various communities, the police have released the mobile and office numbers of all senior officers in the various police divisions. This move comes even as the police already have posted at police stations, mobile numbers for the commanders of the respective divisions and their supporting ranks. It was noted by the Force that when the arrangement was first implemented, persons who were dissatisfied with the quality of service they would have received at police stations, could contact commanders, other senior police officers and other ranks whose numbers were listed at stations for members of the public to access. There have been numerous cases, even

after the Police Force had adopted this policy, of junior ranks including ranks working in operation rooms refusing to share the numbers of senior officers. In addition, the ranks reportedly would often ask members of the public their names before giving the numbers; and should members of the public decline to state their names - especially because of the nature of their calls - (intelligence sharing), ranks would, reportedly, usually discontinue the calls, citing their inability to share the numbers without having the name of the civilian caller. This publication has on numerous occasions tried the system and found that the practice is common in almost all police divisions and at some stations. When it was brought to the attention of the various divisional commanders, the errant junior ranks were often corrected.

Shot 20-year-old electrician still critical FOLLOWING last Friday’s shooting incident in which 20-year-old Devon Howell was shot, injured and remains hospitalised in a critical condition, Crime Chief, Leslie James said that one of the two men fingered in the incident is in police custody and his 72-hour holding period will soon expire. As such, they are awaiting the advice of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Shalimar Ali-Hack to proceed in the matter, James added. He stated that the other soldier remains in the custody of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF). The soldiers were located by officials of the GDF. After the incident, they had fled to Linden after taking Howell to the hospital shortly after he had been shot. However, relatives had received information about the whereabouts of the men and contacted the GDF; the men were subsequently apprehended and transported to Base Camp Ayanganna. Up to press time, Howell’s condition remained critical and unresponsive except when spoken to; he could open his eyes only for a short time, according to his mother, Allison Howell. Howell, of Lot 87 Da Silva Street, Newtown, Georgetown, was shot and injured around 17:30 hrs on November 21, 2014, at D’ Andrade Street, Newtown, while visiting the home of friends a short distance from his residence. Relatives told this publication yesterday that Howell usually frequents the home of the soldiers, since they are friends and while there it was reported that they were playing with a gun when it went off, resulting in a bullet hitting him in the neck. Allison Howell said the bullet exited her son’s neck, but not before it had caused major damage which has left him in an unresponsive state and hooked up to oxygen and other medical equipment in the High Dependency Unit of the Georgetown Public Hospital.

Mahaicony man found dead with chop wounds – suspect in custody A SUSPECT is in police custody following the death of Neeraj Michael called ‘Buckie’, 19, of Champagne, Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara, whose body was found in the Mahaicony River at about 09:35 hrs

GUYANA CHRONICLE Thursday November 27, 2014

Aries - March 21 - April 19 This is a terrific day for you, and you will glow brightly from head to toe as you radiate your true inner self to the world. You will find profound joy in the simplest, most ordinary circumstances. If you run out of things to say, feel free to whistle a tune. This isn't likely to happen today, since you will overflow with things to talk about. Taurus - April 20 - May 20 Tap into the boisterous, light-hearted mood of the day instead of getting bogged down with heavy emotions. This is a good time to engage your mind rather than let your heart take control. Be aware of the expansive nature of the day that allows you to think clearly without getting bothered by emotions. Take the cerebral route to figuring out what you need to do to smooth any bumps in the road. Gemini - May 21 - June 21 Your optimism will be inspiring today. You will find that your lighthearted approach is perfectly suited to taking care of any issue that arises. Toss a few jokes into the mix and remind other people that it isn't necessary to take things so seriously. The Sun is shining as you proudly parade down the street with your head held high. Cancer - June 22 - July 22 Difficult challenges that have been lingering on the sidelines will probably become more prominent today. There is a strong possibility that things will come to a head. The problem was easy to overlook at first, but now that it has taken on a life of its own, you may have to consult someone who is more of an expert on these types of situations than you are. Leo - July 23 - August 22 You could be the one everyone runs to for advice today. You're the one with all the answers who can easily pull the rabbit out of a hat. Trust your judgment and intellectual know-how. Feel free to push yourself to the limit. If you go too far, you can always take a step back. If you never drive all the way to the boundaries, you will never know how far you can go. Virgo - August 23 - September 22 You may get frustrated when you find that people aren't as sensitive to a situation as you want them to be. While you're looking to make a strong connection with someone, almost wanting to take possession of his or her feelings, that person, in turn, is trying to pull back. People are apt to gravitate toward rational facts rather than intense, smothering emotions. Libra - September 23 - October 22 A small spark in a dry field is apt to whip the hill into flames. A raging wildfire may be underway by the end of the day. Know that you're one of the biggest perpetrators, but don't feel badly about it. Fire is destructive but also necessary. Clearing out brush and offering a fresh new place in which new growth can flourish is an important part of the cycle of nature. Scorpio - October 23 - November 21 Put on some lively music you can dance to and really kick up your heels. It's time to put away the sour mood and have fun with a large group of people. You will find that the more you engage in intellectual discussions, the more you will get warmed up to the idea that life should be fun, not the pain and stress you sometimes make it out to be. Sagittarius - November 22 - December 20 This is a tremendously expansive time for you, and there is very little that will stop your momentum once you get going. Your eyes are alive with a spark that says that you're ready to take on the world. Believe this about yourself and others will believe in you. There is a great deal of luck on your side today, so take a gamble in a certain part of your life. Capricorn - December 21 - January 19 This is a good time to put things in writing. Your gift with words is apt to shine today as you write a proposal, email, or love poem. You're able to communicate very well when you put your sensitive emotions aside and concentrate on what you think instead of what you feel. Expand your influence by focusing on those things that require a more cerebral approach. Aquarius - January 20 - February 18 The day's energy is apt to be lively, making it much easier to get the things done that you need to do. You will find people are more than eager to help you. The trick is to integrate your leadership abilities with the knowledge available from other people. You will create a winning combination of power and strength to put to use in just about any realm of your life. Pisces - February 19 - March 20 Obstacles that you have ignored are suddenly starting to expand beyond reasonable proportions. Be careful of what you say as a result, because your words could spread like wildfire. This is no laughing matter. Difficulties in your world are likely to crop up, and you will find your ego threatened. Try to keep some sort of emotional barrier.

George fails to medal in CAC 400m -Squash ladies fall at semifinal stage

By Leeron Brumell A hard day for Team Guyana at the Central American and Caribbean Games in Vera Cruz, Mexico on Tuesday last, as Olympian Winston George was forced to pull out of the heats of the 200m, as the scheduled times for that and his specialty – 400m, were minutes apart. When he did step onto the track at the Heriberto Jara Athletic Stadium for the 400m; he would find it hard to make the podium, crossing the line in fifth

position with a time of 46.33 seconds in an event which saw the first four athletes all stopping the clock under 46 seconds. Cuba’s Raidel Acea grabbed gold in a time of 45.36 seconds ahead of his countryman Yoandys Lescay (45.56) and Venezuela’s Albert Bravo in fourth (45.82). Stephan James featured in the 200m for Guyana and was second fastest in heat 3 with a time of 21:29 seconds, securing qualification to the semifinals, but lost out there when he finished fifth, clocking 21.25secs.

George, James and sprinters Adam Harris and Jeremy Bascom will now try for a team medal in the 4x100m relay on Friday at 2:40pm (Guyana time), for which Jamaica are the defending champions, having won the event in 2012 with a time of 36.84 seconds On the squash court, Guyana’s Ashley Khalil and Ashley DeGroot’s bid for a place in the Women’s Doubles final was halted by Colombia’s Laura Tovar and Karol Gonzalez in two sets who won the match in straight sets 11-2, 11-1, leaving

the Guyanese to look to the Men and Women’s team events that will be played today. Over at the Omega Complex, where Badminton is played – both Jonathan Mangra and Narayan Ramdhani lost their Round of 32 matches. Mangra fell to Andre Padmore of Barbados 7-21, 13-21, while Ramdhani was stopped by Cuba’s Leodannia Martinez 15-21, 20-22, but the Guyanese pair was scheduled to play in the Men’s Doubles last evening.

Umada Cup moves off today at Sleepin Hotel LEADING FIDE and Candidate Masters from five nations will face up against each other from today, when the prestigious fifth annual Umada Cup chess tournament is hosted by the Guyana Chess Federation for the first time. The Sleepin International Hotel on Brickdam is the venue for what is anticipated to be five days of intense rivalry among the elite chess players in this part of the globe, with the tournament set to conclude on Monday. It is being contested in two categories; one for players in the Open Section and another for those in the Challenger Section and both categories will be played under the Swiss System

for nine rounds and will be FIDE rated. Up to press time yesterday, 10 Guyanese players had registered to compete in the tournament amongst whom are Wendell Meusa, Anthony Drayton, Ronuel Greenidge, Hai-Feng Su, Jessica Clementson, Glenford Corlette, Roberto Neto, Davion Mars, Kriskal Persaud and Taffin Khan. Suriname has also entered 10 players, namely Roder Matoewi, Romario Sanchez, Frank Lo Kim Lin, Joel Frijde, Reyna Frijde, Avikaar Malgie, Geryen Dos Ramos, Kevin Finkie, Alicia Jaipersaud and Ishwar Ramlal. Trinidad and Tobago will be represented by six players

and they are Vishnu Singh, Ryan Harper, Kevin Cupid, Esan Wiltshire, Frank Sears and Mikel Martin. Jamaica’s three representatives are Andrew Mellace, Ras Malaku Lorne and Deborah Richards- Porter. The Dominican Republic’s flag will be carried by Christopher Guzman and Darvi Crispin Ferreras, while Barbados’ lone player is Martyn Del Castilo. The tournament will be officially declared open at 10:00 hours today by Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Dr Frank Anthony at the Sleepin International Hotel before the players swing into action on the chess boards. The tournament, ac-

cording to GCF president Irshad Mohamed, is being organised under the auspices of current president of FIDE, the world governing body for chess, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov and has a grand payout package of US$16,000 at stake. In the Open Section, the winner will cart off US$2,500, while the second and third place finishers will pocket US$1,500 and US$1,000 respectively, with the winner of the Challenger Section receiving US$1,500, and runnerup copping US$1,000 and third US$750 and in the case of a tie, the sum of the prizes involved will be shared equally.

GUYANA CHRONICLE Thursday November 27, 2014

GBBC postpones December 6 five-fight card THE GUYANA Boxing Board of Control (GBBC) has postponed its December 6 boxing card labeled `The Big Brawl’ and has decided to stage same on January 24 at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall. According to the

GBBC’s match maker Eon Jardine, the GBBC made that decision due to the fact that United States based Berbice promoter Mark Thom will be promoting his first professional card on December 13 at the Rose Hall Community Centre ground and

it would be unfair to have advertisements on the radio and television channels for both cards at the same time. The GBBC’s card was to feature three fighters making their debuts in different categories along with two other bouts.

Should the card come off on January 24, the feature bout will be an eight-rounder between Edmond DeClou and Gladwin Dorway in a middleweight contest. Keeve Allicock will make his debut in a fourround lightweight fight

against David Thomas; Quincy Gomes and Dexter Marques will square off in a six-round catch weight fight; Jermaine Estwick of Barbados will face off with debutant Eversley Brown

in a four-round junior middleweight contest and Simone Hoyte will make her debut against the seasoned Shelly Gibson over four rounds in a heavyweight contest.

Two athletes off to Colombia

Jason Yaw By Leeron Brumell The Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG) has sent a three-member team to the South American Youth Championships in Cali, Colombia. Under the guide of former national sprinter Julian Edmonds; Jason Yaw and Natricia Hooper left these shores yesterday and will represent Guyana over the period November 28-30, with Yaw doing so in the 400m event and Hooper the 400m and Triple Jump. Both were recently on show at the rain aborted National Schools Track and Field Championships, with Hooper shattering the Girls Under-18 Triple Jump record when she posted a distance of 11.95 seconds, beating the old mark of 10.60m which was set by Shonnett Freeman last year. Yaw, a favourite to medal in the Boys U-20 100m at the school’s championships however had a bad outing falling outside

the podium in a race that was won by Tevin Garraway, who erased Edmonds 22-year-old record of 10.6 seconds. It was equaled by Kevin Abbensetts last year, only to see Garraway clocking 10.5 seconds in this year’s event to set a new mark. Yaw to his credit has been consistent over the years and AAG president Aubrey Hutson said he was selected to represent Guyana based on his performances over the course of the year. Yaw holds national records in the 400m at both the Under-16 (51.8 secs.) and Under-18 levels (49.9 secs.) and he also holds records in the 200m in both age groups and jointly holds the Boys U-18 100m record of 10.7 seconds. Hooper was selected based on her performance at this year’s School’s Championships – specifically her triple jump record and they are expected to return on December 1.

Guinness ‘Greatest of De Streets’

Three players hit double strikes on night three -Action continues tonight By Calvin Roberts FUTSAL football loving fans lined the barriers in rows of four on the National Cultural Centre tarmac last Tuesday night, to catch a glimpse in the third night of action, when this year’s sixth annual Georgetown leg of the Petra Organisation/Banks DIH sponsored Guinness ‘Greatest of De Streets’ competition continued. Certainly, the eight matches that were played were not only entertaining, but at times had the fans shouting with the excitement created by the players, wherein they saw Dwayne Lowe, Randolph Wagner and Shaka Jones all recording double strikes for their respective teams. The action got underway with West Back Road, who were forced to play a qualifying tournament to get into

the main frame of the tournament, continuing as the giant killers when they stopped North Ruimveldt 4-3 via ‘Sudden death’ penalty kicks after a nil all finish. South Sophia ‘A’, then created the second upset for the night, with their 4-0 win over 2013 runners-up Stevedore Housing Scheme, with Lowe scoring his double in the 12th and 20th minutes of play, backed by solitary strikes from Ryan O’Selmo (4th) and Akeem Jaikissoon (14th). Lowe’s second goal, can probably be described as the goal of the tournament, when he scored with a running left sided header into an empty net, after out-jumping the defender to get at a cross from the left side of the playing area, sparking off crazy celebrations on and off the field. Festival City Street Fighters proved to be just that, as they fought hard to defeat

Castello Housing Scheme 3-0, with goals from Odell Williams (15th), Jermaine Fletcher (17th) and Jermaine Tinch (20th), before West Front Road ‘Gold is Money’ stamped their authority over Charlestown with a 4-0 win. Wagner led the victors with his brace, scoring same in the 9th and 22nd minute and got support from Michael Pedro (10Th) and Darren Benjamin’s 25th minute goal, even as Devon Adams

scored the lone goal in the 4th minute to hand Broad Street Bullies a 1-0 win over South Ruimveldt. Jones then became the third player to score a double on the night, doing so in the 14th and 24th minutes of play for Albouystown ‘A’ in their 2-0 win over Durban Street, while Daniel favorite (7th), Solomon Austin (9th) and Andrew Gad (17th) were the men responsible for Festival City’s 3-0 victory over Island

All-Stars. The night’s action ended with Sparta Boss defeating Bent Street 1-0, thanks to Sheldon Shepherd’s 5th minute goal, while the action continued at the same venue last night and will also see another round being played tonight. Tonight’s action will see South Ruimveldt looking for redemption against Riverview, Sophia South meeting Leopold Street, Charlestown

and Cross Street clashing and Broad Street Bullies facing up against North East LaPenitence. After the Guinness break, Bent Street tackles Festival City, defending champions Queen StreetTiger Bay matches stride with North Ruimveldt, Sparta Boss meeting Castello Housing Scheme and Stevedore Housing Scheme ‘A’ clashing with Albouystown ‘B’.

Guyana proud”

BCB/NBS Second Division…..

Heeralall and Abel guide D’Edward into final LED BY hard hitting innings from skipper Jaipaul Heeralall and former Berbice all-rounder Eon Abel, D’Edward handed the highly favoured Albion Community Center a huge defeat to become the first team to reach the final of this year’s Berbice Cricket Board/New Building Society second division 40 overs competition last Saturday. In the semi-final which was contested at the D’Edward ground and which was reduced to 24 overs a side due to overnight rain, D’Edward lost the toss and was asked to bat first by Albion, who must have regretted making such a decision, as Abel made an unbeaten 72 and Lakeraj Sookra added 35 from 6.4 overs for the first wicket. With Abel playing the anchor role, D’Edward was not too comfortable when they reached 72 for 3 in 12 overs, at which point Heeralall joined the party and they decimated the Albion bowling attack, rattling up a quick fire partnership of 124 from 11.1 overs.

Eon Abel Heeralall contributed a rapid 82 which included two fours and 10 sixes in a display of power hitting, before he fell at 198 for 4 in 23.1 overs, while D’Edward finished with a formidable 210 for 4 off their allotted 24 overs with Abel hitting five fours and the same number of sixes. Bowling for Albion, Kevindra Persaud took 2 for 19 and former Berbice Under-17 off spinner Daniel Lewis 2 for 53. When Albion began their reply, they lost Adrian Sukhwa for 5 in the second over at 11

Guyana’s National 7’s Rugby Team, along with sponsors and executives of the GRFU at the reception hosted at the Guyana Pegasus. WITH THE help of both the Private and Public Sectors, along with tangible support from the Government of Guyana, through Head-of-State President Donald Ramotar, Guyana was able to put together their best possible squad to contest the December 3rd to 4th North America Caribbean Rugby Association (NACRA) 7’s Championship in Mexico City, Mexico. On Tuesday last, the Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) hosted an appreciation reception to say “Thank You” to those who contributed and for them, the sponsors, to interact with the players at the Pegasus Hotel. The players were charged by all in attendance to “bring home the goods” and to regain the title they won for six consecutive years, from 2006 to 2011. The team departs for Mexico on Friday and will play their first game against the host country on 3rd December, followed by their clash with the Cayman Islands on the same

Umroa fell for 24 and Permaul for 35, as Christian France took 3 for 26, Devindra Lalsa 2 for 13 and Kevon Jawahir 2 for 21 for the victorious D’Edward lineup, who with the win have advanced to the final as favourites.

Hafeez ton puts Pakistan on top MOHAMMAD Hafeez hit an unbeaten 178 to put Pakistan in charge on the opening day of their third Test against New Zealand in Sharjah yesterday. Hafeez, who missed the second Test through injury, racked up his seventh Test century as Pakistan closed the day on 281 for three, hitting three sixes and 23 fours in his 262-ball innings, bringing up his hundred off 130 balls. New Zealand, who need to win to salvage a draw in the three-match series, had little joy with the ball on a batting-friendly wicket, although the right-arm off spin of Mark Craig claimed

two scalps. Craig struck to remove Shan Masood for 12, bowling Hafeez’s fellow opener between bat and pad, but the man at the other end proved rather harder to dislodge. He helped the score along to 131 before Craig had Azhar Ali caught at first slip by Ross Taylor for 39, followed by Younus Khan who was lbw, playing back to Daniel Vettori, but New Zealand offered a reprieve to Misbah-ul-Haq when he was dropped by BJ Watling behind the stumps on 20. Misbah was 38 not out at the close and his partnership with Hafeez is worth 121 and counting.

Mohammad Hafeez

Easy for Bangladesh BANGLADESH wrapped up their one-day series against Zimbabwe with a comfortable 124-run victory in Mirpur. The Tigers were already leading the five-match series 2-0 and 95 from Anamul Haque plus contributions all down the order saw them post 297 for six. The tourists never looked like chasing that down and lost wickets at regular intervals before being dismissed for 173 with 61 balls to spare. Tamim Iqbal had scored two centuries and two fifties in his last six innings but seemed content to take a back seat with Anamul bringing up his half-century off 66 balls as the openers easily negotiated the first 20 overs. The Bangladesh hundred and the century partnership came in the next over and they had reached 116 without loss at the halfway stage before Tamim fell to an unfortunate run out on 40. Anamul worked a Hamilton Ma-

sakadza delivery to deep-midwicket and, while coming back for a second, Tamim got his bat stuck in the ground and the bails were removed as he attempted to jump into the crease. That brought Mominul Haque to the crease but he could add just 15 before he went fishing for a Masakadza delivery outside off and found Timycen Maruma at mid-off. The home side were still looking comfortable at 160 for two with Anamul on course for a century but it was 167 for three when he fell for 95. Tafadzwa Kamungozi sent a short one down and Anamul mispulled it to the substitute fielder at deep-midwicket. Shakib Al Hasan and captain Mushfiqur Rahim then went about upping the rate but both were gone in the 44th over, Shakib top-edging a Tinashe Panyangara delivery to Elton Chigumbura for 40.

Mushfiqur (33) got an inside edge on the last ball of the over to make it 244 for five and Sabbir Rahman (22) exited in the penultimate over. Zimbabwe’s reply got off to a poor start with Vusi Sibanda (nine) caught by Arafat Sunny off the bowling of Mashrafe Mortaza in just the third over. Masakadza responded with a six but was gone soon after for 12 in controversial fashion as he was adjudged to have glanced a Mortaza delivery down the leg side to Mushfiqur but there looked to be no contact When Maruma fell for eight, caught by Mortaza off Rubel Hossain, the tourists were in big trouble at 39 for three. Brendan Taylor and Solomon Mire staged a small recovery as they put on 41 but the latter was stumped off the bowling of Sunny for 12 and when Taylor (28) was trapped in front by Shakib, Zimbabwe were 82 for five. Regis Chakabva was next to go for 14, bowled by Mahmudullah, and Peter Moor (two) soon followed lbw to Rubel Hossain. Sunny then tidied up the tail to take his total to four for 27 and leave skipper Chigumbura stranded on 53 as Bangladesh eased to victory.

England fall short in Sri Lanka despite Moheen century (REUTERS)-A magnificent century by Moeen Ali proved in vain as England suffered a 25-run defeat to Sri Lanka in the first of seven one-day internationals yesterday. The left-handed opener struck 119 as England replied to Sri Lanka’s 317 for six but the chase petered out once he was dismissed in the 30th over, but half-centuries from openers Tillakaratne Dilshan and Kusal Perera and some lusty hitting at the end of the innings set up Sri Lanka’s innings.

Put in to bat after a raindelayed start, they built on an opening stand of 120 from Dilshan (88) and Perera (59) to set England a challenging target. Moeen (119) then made full use of a run of luck to give the visitors a lightning start with his maiden oneday international hundred coming off 72 deliveries. The left-hander, who scored England’s second fastest half-century in just 25 balls, batted with ease and sublime timing and his 87-ball knock was studded

with 11 fours and five sixes. The 27-year-old was lucky too. On seven the ball found the edge of his bat and rolled on to the stumps but failed to dislodge the bails while he was also dropped twice later -- on 72 and 89. He was finally out offering a tame return catch to leg spinner Jeevan Mendis and his efforts were ultimately in vain despite England apparently cruising at one stage, reaching 107 for one in 15 overs. Ian Bell, Joe Root and

Eoin Morgan all fell quickly and although a superior scoring rate kept England interested, regular wickets proved to be their undoing. Ravi Bopara staged a lone battle at the end with four boundaries and two sixes in his 62ball 65 but was the last man to fall as England were all out for 292 with 17 balls to spare. Thisara Perera was the most successful bowler for Sri Lanka with three wickets for 44 runs. Ajantha Mendis and Rangana Her-

Teenaged openers Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Shimron Hetmyer will be replacing Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Fudadin, while Georgetown Cricket Club’s Vishaul ‘Cheesy’ Singh, has been chosen to not only re-

place Johnson, but also take over the reigns of captaincy. Discarded West Indies middle order batsman Narsingh Deonarine, who have excelled with both bat and ball in the Jaguars’ two opening matches to date, have been given the responsibility of vice captain to Singh. Deonarine has scored 283 runs in three innings which included back to back centuries and supported it with a five wicket haul against the Windward Islands in their first innings last week Saturday, a game that Guyana Jaguars won by 92 runs to register their sec-

Pride, who will be missing four key players for the upcoming clash. While many would question Singh’s ability to lead

the team, one must remember that two years ago he led the Guyana Cricket Board’s President’s XI to the Carib Beer/Pepsi Big Bash title, followed by Inter-county triumph with Demerara this year. In addition to the above, he led one of the teams in the two trial matches held before the start of the WICB/PCL tournament and single handedly won the first game with his ton, while they were held to a draw in the second. The full team reads: Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Rajindra Chandrika, Shimron Hetmyer, Vishaul Singh (Captain), Narsingh Deonarine (Vice Captain), Raymond Reifer, Anthony Bramble (wk), Christopher Barnwell, Veerasammy Permaul, Devendra Bishoo, Ronsford Beaton, Keon Joseph, Trevon Griffith.

Guyana settles for sixth place in the 2014 CAC women’s hockey Championship GUYANA’S national women’s hockey team had to settle for sixth place in this year’s Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Women’s Hockey tournament in Vera Cruz, Mexico, after losing to bronze medallist Barbados by a 0-3 margin on Sunday last. With both teams failing to make the semi-finals, the victor would have to settle for fifth place in this year’s edition of the games while the loser would be relegated to sixth of the eight-team competition, which saw Jamaica defeating Bermuda 2-0 to secure the 7th position in the competition behind Guyana. Guyana began the match on shaky ground as they did in the previous clash with Jamaica and gave up several early chances and penalty corners to Barbados, who in the 11th minute, scored their opening goal that deflected off the stick of Guyanese defender Tiffany Solomon, and fell into the path of onrushing striker Keisha Jordan for the finish. Goalkeeper Alysa Xavier had been pulled left by the original strike but the unfortunate deflection made

it an impossible goal to save, while the Guyanese made a few tactical changes and managed to balance the midfield play after the first goal, but their strikers failed to match those of Barbados for converting possessions to shots at goal. With the match flowing from end to end in the blistering Vera Cruz sun, Barbadian right winger, Venessa Chewitt, would complete a brilliant run by cutting all the way to the left side to receive a pass before driving right with the ball, overcoming the challenges of a few defenders and smashing her shot just inside the left goal post to give her team a 2-0 cushion at half-time. The second half saw both teams sharing possession of the ball but the opposition defence kept winning the battles to keep the half scoreless and Guyana in their aim to make up for the deficit, piled players forward and made some meaningful drives at the Bajans’ defensive area. While this tactic seemed to give Guyana the upper hand, they remained vulnerable in the depleted defence and Chewitt would be the

hero for Barbados by completing a swift counter-attack off a midfield turnover to put the Bajans up by three. Although Guyana seemed the more threatening side in the final 10 minutes of play, the Barbadian defence held firm and prevented any attempts from scoring to come away with the victory, even as Mexico defeated Trinidad 2-1 in the Bronze medal match, while Cuba secured the gold over the Dominican Republic on a penalty shootout after the two sides were deadlocked at 3-3 at full time.

Best among four replacement players called up for Barbados Pride BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMCDiscarded West Indies pacer Tino Best is among four players called up by Barbados Pride selectors to replace four members of the team travelling with the regional side for the tour of South Africa. The others are former skipper Ryan Hinds, Kyle Corbin and Roston Chase who are replacing Kraigg Brathwaite, left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn and fast bowlers Kemar Roach and Jason Holder. Pride captain and opener Brath-

waite, along with Benn, Roach and Holder are due to leave the Caribbean on Sunday with the West Indies senior team for the three-Test series against the South Africans. All-rounder Carlos Brathwaite, who was the West Indies ‘A’ team skipper on the recent tour to Sri Lanka, will take over the captaincy of the Pride from Brathwaite. Barbados Pride are on 12 points in fourth position after two rounds of matches in the West Indies Cricket Board’s Professional Cricket League

(WICB/PCL) Regional 4-Day competition. They drew with Trinidad and Tobago Red Force in their opening fixture and also played to a draw against the Jamaica Franchise in second round action which ended on Monday and enters round three in the tournament with a match against Guyana Jaguars at Providence in Guyana, starting on Friday. The Guyana Jaguars are out front on 34 points after outright victories against Leeward Islands and Windward Islands.
